Fire Arts Academy is offering the next session of Poi & Staff classes in Oakland at the Oakland Noodle Factory. FAA is now taking registration for beginning, intermediate, & advanced poi and beginning & intermediate staff lessons in the East Bay. Classes in SF to be announced soon.
Only a $100 for our group poi or staff class, which consists of a well laid-out lesson plan of seven one hour sessions. You can't beat this price! A syllabus / study guide will be provided at the beginning of class for the students to take home and use to practice with. The class space is limited and spaces are fill up quickly.
We have packed one year of spinning experience and knowledge into each class, which we amazingly can pass to you in seven lessons. Many simple drills will improve your spinning quickly. The first six classes teach the students a variety of moves, around 30 total, and techniques as they progress in skill level. The seventh class teaches the students fire safety and how to apply what they have learned to actual fire spinning, if the students feel they are ready. Everything is done according to personal comfort level. Fuel, safety, and fire poi provided for the seventh lesson as needed.

Here is what some past and present students are saying:
"Much funnier than yoga, but with the same sort of rewarding head
space! I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to spin Zuni's, and ultimately
FIRE, with Jon from Fire Arts Collective. Always known as the graceless
wonder in my family, I was finally able to awe my folks, though they
are surely afraid I've run off and joined the circus! Jon's teaching
method is adept and kind and encourages quick advancement, and we
laughed our heads off while actually getting better -- learning + fun
-- you can't beat that!" --- Kelly DeMartini
"I had no idea spinning fire would be so fun and become such a part of
me. Jon is patient, insightful and encouraging, accepting my tangled
fumblings with easy humor and working with me until I mastered each
step. I look forward to taking many other classes with the Collective.
Thank you, Jon!" --- Joe
