Faberge calls it flower dancing
I call it fire dancing/spinning
Everyone that knows me tells other people that i am a fire thrower or a fire eater.

teejay, do you know how Fire Eaters do all that stuff without burning their mouths?
They don't.
it's not an activity i'd recommend...
but if you still really really want to do it then https://www.butterfingers.co.uk
do a fireeating book to tell you how to do it relatively safely.
'Twirling' is too camp a word for me. i don't really like 'Spinning' either.
i've seen 'Swinging' used a bit, but that can lead to embarassing misunderstandings...
They all seem quite reductive. 'Object Manipulation' is better, but is a bit of a mouthful.
Generally, i say that i do Stick and Swingy Balls.
or just claim to be a juggler. Not strictly accurate, but people understand and it gets the whole thing out of the way.

i think this is a discussion that is not going to come to an end very soon
how about we all say what we like.. i think everyone knows what is meant when we say either spinning or twirling..
