If you are learning to spin Poi because you want to do it with fire, congratulations.
It's a very fun and exciting honor to be able to dance with fire in such an intimate and
beautiful way. However there are a few things that you need to know, before you even consider
spinning your Poi with fire. One, is you need to be able to spin your Poi at least ten minutes
without hitting yourself, before you should even consider lighting them on fire. Number
two, is you should have a person with you who knows what you're doing and who can act
as a fire safety person. And number three, you should have a full reverence and respect
for fire and for what it can do in both its beauty and in how it can harm you. It can
be a very, very fun and exciting thing but, you must use caution and be respectful of
how you're using it. You may want to start shopping for a pair of fire-Poi, in which
case you would be looking for a Poi with Kevlar wicks, which preferably don't have metal hardware
sticking out of them. Such as bolts that are coming out at the end. You want as little
metal on the outside of the Kevlar as possible. And there's a lot of resources on the internet
and online for good fire-Poi that you can start thinking about using. And in the meantime
keep practicing on your own.
