Im looking for some fellow dutch spinners

hi there,

hey, is there anyone on HOP who is currently or shortly will be living in holland? just moved back home and i havent found the spinning community yet

spinning on my own is fun, but, ya know, i gotsta find some, umm, colleagues (?).. identify yourselves! im lonely

hello there

welcome to HoP

i used to live in holland but not any more unfortunately

there are quite a few dutch spinners on the board though. try here , these are all the dutch spinners i could find. they've all signed up in the 'meet others' section, so that means they're in the same boat as yourself - looking to meet others to spin with. so get in touch with some of them. you'll find that spinners (especially newbies) are generally delighted to meet anyone else who does poi, staff, or whatever. instant new friends

groetjes

right, sorry about that. that link doesn't appear to be working

go up to the menu bar and click on "Community", then "Meet Others>" then "Search".

this will bring you into a page where you're requested to enter a country, state, town or city. a search i did under "Netherlands" brought up about 10 results. not all have their email address listed, but you can send them a Private Message through this board.

happy hunting

Nederlander hier. Waar kom je vandaan gast?
*Instant translator*
Dutchman here. Where do you come from dude?

holldand is silly and fun to say

hey, relaxed.. eindelijk iemand gevonden..

ik ga net beginnen in utrecht te studeren en daar heb ik tijdens de UIT dagen ook wat fire jugglers gezien..

als je ooit de kans hebt om naar utrecht te komen moet je me bellen.. ik ben er vanaf morgen me nummer is 0640601181
sms kan ook..

waar zit je in nl?

sorry bout that ppl,

got carried away.. so glad that im not alone in this small country..

the point was (and in english this time) that i would like to know if anyone lives in or near utrecht and is interested in starting a spinning club.. sounds optimistic, i know, but there's no harm in trying right?

hé, hoe gaat het? heb je al iemand gevonden?

i used to live in Huizen, Blaricum & Hilversum. was there for about 8 & a half years, but back in Ireland now so i can't be of much help

there's an irish guy called Mot living in Utrecht who uses this board, though i haven't seen him around in a while. here's his webiste though: http://motspoi.firetwirlers.com

Hi there, I live in Holland as well, in Leiden and I'm always up for a poi meeting.

So just let me know (I'm in Edinburgh right now but I'm getting back the 20st)

You can also look at the ' meet others' section in HoP

tot pois?!

Hiya stickman, I'm in utrecht aswell and there is a few spinners floating around here. Give me a shout some time, we normally end up in the lepelenburg park, or the wilhemina park

Lost that old website , got a new one though www.motsplace.com

Hey Stickman,

nog eentje uit Nederland :-), Wat studeer jij? Ikke ben delftenaar! I'm living in the Hague, actually quite near SeeSarahFly <<ook hier hoi!>>, so maybe we could have a slightly bigger meeting, with MOT (I've been wanting to see him since december, 7bt BTB, unbelievable...), Sarah, Me and more...
I have a very small starting spinning group btw, one other poier, Foxylady, and a staff-girl [and maybe a diabolo/juggling dude]...

Hope to see you soon!

OOh wat fijn zeg allemaal medepoiers! <hé en jij terug uit Italië>

I'm glad to see so many fellow poiple live in Holland! I'm always up for a poi meeting when I'm in the country. I'm leaving for Poland tomorrow but I'll be back in a week or so.

Hope to see ya'll soon!

You're going to Poland as well :-s? And I am already studying again for my resits... Lucky basterd :-)...

If you're back in a week or so we will probably meet soon, fun! Iveta and I are very enthousiastic lately with meeting new people, we'll have a Poi In The <i>zuider</i>Park .

ciaociaociao

Poland got cancelled, got a nice offer for a internship? (stage) at "circus elleboog".

Hope to see you soon.

Nederlanders!!!!

Hi guy's. I live in Rotterdam. Let me know when there's going to be a meet. Anyone who lives in Rotterdam?

C u soon

Heya,

you spin on NIN?!?! Never heard that before, makes me curiuous about your style! I don't think there will be a meeting this weekend (maybe though, ask Foxylady), but probably in two weeks, somewhere in the neighbourhood [Leiden ?]... I'll let you know and send you a PM!

Telpeva

ps, I don't think I know Rotterdamse poiers, but there must be some ... Search and thou shalt find...

Hi Telpeva,

I saw another show on wich they spun to NIN, the song Starf**@#$ (can't really show the rest) So that's a great song, but there's also Herecy (i think you spell it that way), that's another great song, but if you want to spin to NIN you don't want to be fast offended by the strong languages....

I heard there was going to be some spinning at the beach this weekend (via Foxy Lady) but I don't have any time the next two weekends, but if someone has time during the week, let me know couse I have free travel during the week.

greenz,

Fuero

I heard from Nephtys that there is possibly a poi meeting in Utrecht friday in two weeks...
If so, I'll be there.
Hope to see you all there!

Hey Fuero, it's Heresy btw , but ehmz, haven't listend to NIN for a while, gonna try to spin on it this week, lets see what it does with me... <<And don't you worry about me getting offended by lyrics ...
What do you study btw?

Ciao,
Telpeva

Hey Carobananas,

I don't know how it all will go upcoming weeks, but one thing is sure; there will be meetings, and there will also be meetings in Utrecht, so see you there! That's quite a ride from Groningen btw, cool that you will sacrifice so much time... ahh well, sacrifice, it's very very worth it, last two meetings were !!!
Do you have week or weekend OV btw?

Greetz,
Telpeva

Hi Telpeva,

Indeed it's Heresy, i checked it last nigt when I got home. NIN gives you a real rush and it sends a feeling of mysticism in the atmosphere. I also juggled to NIN last night, I was so intense (I need al my concentration just to do a cascade) that I got dizzy from staring at the balls. Oh, yeah, you asked about my style?
I don't reckon I've got really a style. Loads of butterfly thingy's and corkscrews, but I'm not that good.

But to get back on your question:
I study Graphic Design on the Graphic Lyceum here in Rotterdam.
What do you study?

Greetz,
Fuero

Btw...does any of the dutch(wo)men know the band Omnia?

Fuero, hiya,
If you ever feel like having a spin here in utrecht, you should join us. Theres about 5 of us over here, but we try and meet up with the dhaag crowd aswell. Also theres a regular spinning fest in amsterdam on fridays.
Mot.

well, that's the nice thing about style, you don't need a lot of moves for it... it is giving your own 'twist' to moves and the links between them, so with just a weave and butterfly as a base you can give poi a fluid/angel like quality, or maybe a fighting style, ballet like, etc...
So, you spin, you spin on music -> you have got a style :-)

but ehmz, I'm studying aerospace engineering in Delft...



Omnia, just the name... Is it a gaping omission in my musical knowledge?

YES!!! You have to know OMNIA!!!

No, it's a great pagan band and I have met a few spinners during concerts by them, so i was wondering...

you mean these guys

yeh, i know them. well, not personally, but i know who you're talking about. ik heb een aantal jaar in nederland gewoond

Yeah *insert rockin' smiley*, what do you think of them?
and have I met you at a concert?

yeh, they're very good. i love all their costumes & the whole neo-celt thing. it's a really good act.

no, i don't think i've met you at a gig. you were probably about 16 when i last saw them play

have you ever heard of an irish band called Kila? you might like them, check them out here

they don't really go in for the same type of stage show as omnia, but if you like that kind of music with plenty of good percussion then i think you'll like them.

Where have you seen omnia play?
