My son and I were discussing a Luau coming up in July for a friend and said "Why can't we do fire spinning for entertainment, that sounds cool!" So at ages 47 & 19 we've started spinning. We ordered Charles Dolbel's "Art of Staff", reviewed lessons on this website, made a couple staffs, and have been practicing the basics.
Need to start doing choreography and are looking for some tips and ideas for 2 spinners. 1 spinner lefthand and the other righthand (mirror image)? Staff passes between spinners? Light one end of one staff and pass the fire around until all 4 ends are flaming?
Also need some suggestions for Polynesian music suitable for spinning. And how do most people extinguish the flames at the end of a performance? Wet towel? Sand? Water?
Thanks for your help

If you are looking for tradition Hawaiian music I can suggest the Makaha Sons, they are one of the hottest native groups in Hawaii right now. Almost anything that would be labeled Tahitian would work too, it's got a real driving beat.
Putting fire out? Wet Towel.
