Is that you in the picture? Wow!

@ CMO: thank you!
yes, it's actually dangerous that's why we only recommend using fire if you are complacent w/ your poi/ spinning skills. but some students prefer to just use fabric/ribbon poi or sock poi.

me on the other hand preferred to attract more attention. hahaha


@ Cathy: yes, that's me. my 1st burn. i was pretty nervous at that time. :)
