Fire, Flow & Specialty
Hoops. Poi. Staff. Fire.
Enrol Now
Flow arts are anything that orbits your body in circles — hoops, poi, staff, fans, juggling clubs. Specialty classes are where you learn technique. Fire classes are where you graduate to flame.
Flow is the most portable circus discipline going — your prop fits in a backpack and the whole community travels between festivals to meet up. Hoops millennia old. Poi from the Māori people of Aotearoa. Juggling clubs from medieval entertainers. The current scene mashes all of it together with a soundtrack that didn't exist twenty years ago. Once your technique is grooved on safe LED practice props, we'll graduate you to fire under strict coach supervision (helmets aren't required but reverence is).
What you'll learn
- Hoop: on-body, off-body isolations, breaks, multi-hoop
- Poi: single and double, weaves, flowers, antispin
- Staff: contact rolls, fishtails, halos, figure-8s
- Juggling: 3-ball cascade right up to numbers (4, 5, 7), club passing
- Fire safety — wick prep, fuel handling, spotter rules, only after technique is solid
What it builds
- Cardio fitness — flow is endurance training in disguise
- Cross-body coordination of the genuinely useful kind
- A hobby that travels with you to every park, festival and quiet beach
- A community — flow folks know each other across cities
Good fit if…
You've watched flow at a festival and felt the envy, you want a circus skill that doesn't need rigging, or you just like fire (responsibly).
