I am a newbie poi and newbie fire staff ( but did practice martial arts staff 20 years ago), having recently been bitten by the bug (saw flaming poi / sword performers at outdoor party in Goa this past xmas). My wife is former DJ and dancer and still the most amazing dancer in Shanghai. We both love outdoor dance cam and the openess and friendliness of everyone.

I guess lots of you are half my age. Dont think only has to be a stage you pass through, try to keep this part of your life always.

I have went to raves 15 years ago and ocassionally since then. But my recent trip to Goa (our second time), was very interesting and rekindled this part of me - it was rather spiritual. And for a non spiritual guy like me, this is saying a lot.

Happy to be here.
