fun dancey bits
First, I had a great time at the Snow Flow Fest in Louisville. Workshops were excellent, people were friendly, the flow jam was like every rave I've never been to (I am a latecomer to many scenes because my nose is stuck in a book).
I took a fire fan workshop and liked it so much that I decided to buy a pair. Granted, I'm crap at spinning things (e.g. I bloodied my nose during the mini-hoops workshop because I spun one right into my face), but spinning fans is not the whole extent of fire fan dancing, as I gather. I just want to do more tech moves than belly dancers who just kinda pose with them, wiggle a bit, move the fans to another pose, wiggle some more. It seems like the prop demands more than just holding it in one plane at a time. I've already noted some interesting similarities to poi (though I only know a handful of moves), so now I have something new and fun to work on--and I bet it also improves my arm and hand strength for climbing!
Last but not least, I'm getting into dubstep because it's GREAT for hooping, so I made another hooping video of myself and here it is. I've known about Bassnectar for a while, and I'm hearing about other musicians like White Ring... recommendations, please?
