Flow fans are one of the most expressive props in flow arts. Whether you're spinning fire fans for performance, practice fans for technique, or LED fan veils for stage work, fans give you a huge canvas of movement — finger spins, hand spins, full-arm sweeps, and flow art fans choreography that catches every eye in the room.
What types of fans does Home of Poi sell?
fire fans — five-finger frames, lotus designs, and our full range of fire fans for beginners through to pro performers.
Practice fans & practice flow fans — wire frames without wicks, perfect for learning safely.
LED fan veils — programmable colours for stage and dark venues, ideal for fan dancing and burlesque.
Silk fan & belly dance silk fans — folding silk fans for non-fire indoor performance and belly dance fans routines.
Wooden fan hand frames & poi fans — traditional builds for collectors and dance performers.
What are the best fire fans for beginners?
If you're starting out, go with practice fans first — wire frames without wicks let you build technique without risk. When you're ready to light up, our small fire fans and five-finger frames are the most beginner-friendly fire fans. Always put wick covers or small socks over the wicks during practice to extend wick life.
Can I use fans for belly dance and flow dance?
Yes — belly dance silk fans and silk fan dance routines are huge. The folding silk fan is soft, lightweight, and creates beautiful flow trails. LED fan veils add programmable colour for stage work, fan dance burlesque, and led fans dance performances. Many dancers also pair fans with poi for hybrid dancing flow routines.
How do I make my own fire fans?
We sell Single Fan Frames and kits if you want to stitch your own wicks. There's an instructional video on the kit product pages — watch it before you start. Tight wicks are harder to stitch and harder on your needle, so leave a bit of slack.
Why play with flow art fans?
Flow art fans build coordination, confidence, and brain function. Flow art fan spinning is also a great way to meet people — break down barriers and find your community.
Yes — every set of fans comes with our 12-month warranty. If a fault occurs, we'll send free parts or replacements with shipping paid by us. No need to send products back at your cost.
11th September, 2025 Pair of Medium Lotus Fire Fans with Carry Bag Love! "Wicks are solid and well attached. Frame is sturdy and good quality metal. They spin well and feel balanced. Shipping took longer than I had expected but when I reached out they were happy to explain the situation and answer my questions." Michella, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Aug 2025

10th August, 2024 2 inch 50mm Fire Fan Replacement Wick Kit These are great!! "I bought the 2in fire fan wick replacement kit from homeofpoi. First of all, as a kit, it was much cheaper than buying just the wicks and then having to hunt down the curved needles elsewhere. It came with the nicely pre-cut wick strips, 2 needles and the Kevlar thread. I watched a YouTube video on how to wrap the strips around my lotus fans and for advice on how to sew them on. Super easy! I am very happy with the materials, homeofpois communication, the speediness of shipping, and my new fans! Yay! Thank you so much; will definitely buy this again in the future when my fans need another re-wick. :)" Simmers, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Jul 2024

6th August, 2024 Single LED Fan Frame Well balanced "This is my second set of frames. Good quality, good balance for spin tricks, still working on my technique and getting used to the weight difference from fire and led. Can withstand drops and storage with other fans." Mfunk, USA.

22nd February, 2024 Pair of Medium Lotus Fire Fans I love these fans!!!! "First off, they arrived so nicely packaged with all of these cute stickers, and a thank you note. Upon opening them I first noticed how solid and strong metal was, and how beautifully wrapped the wicks were. The price was also so reasonable for the quality. They burn beautifully and I m so happy with my purchase! Thank you Home of Poi for exceeding expectations." Isabellara, USA. [Verified Buyer] BRONZE Member since Jan 2024
