fire!

[keryx]

Guess what I did tonight? Well, I mean after work, dance errands, and RMAX training...

I spun fire poi! And danced with fire wands!

I didn't injure myself on the first (of course, I did the exactly 4 things I can consistently do without beaning myself in the face or head). And the second, I'm actually pretty decent at. I think. I mean, I was feeling a sense of flow and dance in it. Ooh, and then we played a little with the faux fire-eating and transfer (catching bits of it on your body). I have mystery blisters, lumps and bruises - not sure whether they came from the fire or from being hit and stuff earlier in the night.

Friday night rocks.

Pictures forthcoming. Just of the poi, though, not of me doing any actual cool stuff.

Hell, you're better at spinning than I am already. You will bring the fire next weekend! After you've gotten past the first whooooshing noise, it's practically zen - and as soon as you singe some of your hair or whap your clothes (so you know those things can't kill you), you can chill completely.

Rica spun some, too. She even has a new move named for her now!
