Do you have any questions that I can help you with?
Inspiring. Fun. Essential.
Reviewer: David Gale from Australia
Firstly, this DVD is worth buying simply for the "inspiration" clip at the start. Nick says on his website that it is the best fire dance he has ever caught on film, and in my opinion it may well be the best that ANYBODY has got. This clip really highlights how poi can be used powerfully and expressively, as Nick is truly a master of not just poi moves but also style, dynamics, rhythm, and timing.
As the tutorials are geared towards intermediate and advanced levels you would gain most from this DVD if you can already weave, turn, butterfly etc, although it is worthy inspiration nonetheless and the perfect compliment to "The Scales of Poi."
Also, "Adventures in Poi" is also essential for anybody wanting to teach poi because Nick has a superb teaching style and goes into immense detail on each move.
Plus, by buying this DVD you are supporting Nick and Playpoi, which is a great cause because he is a massive blessing to every poi artist and a genuine person to boot.
Buy this DVD!!!!
Gold standard of poi spinning!

What do you expect when two masters of poi spinning collaborate? Yes, you got it! A cutting edge learning tool, supreme inspiration, and much much more.... All these are in this DVD. Hats off to you Zan and Jon!
I can honestly say this is the best fire video out there
Reviewer: Matthew Doyle from AustraliaI immensely enjoyed watching this fire video. I'm
a poi spinner, and was really glad to see such a
variation in the types of toys - staff, double
staff, contact, poi, chucks, swords, hoops,
meteor... while not neglecting my fav style of
poi!
It's edited really well, has great music and has
quite interesting interviews of each performer.
Don't be put off by the first 20/30 mins or so -
it's all about Firegroove and their team which
tends to drag on with scenes of them walking
randomly around festivals and talking about their
history. It soon kicks in a higher gear when they
get to each performer and when they arrive at
Firedrums.
Would highly recommend to anyone else.
