Forums > Events, Performances and Gatherings > im looking for some fellow dutch spinners

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

SLEEP WITH ANGELS muckieha

h�, 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

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!

Heya,

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

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?

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

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.

it was at an outdoor festival in the grounds of some castle somewhere near utrecht. not sure of the name of the place any more, but i can picture it in my head. it was in about 1999 or so, shortly before i left holland.

i remember being quite shocked that they were dutch. it's not really your typical klompen muziek is it?
