"TLDR. But seriously, I wouldn't say "everyone" is getting into circus arts, and as far as those who are - my guess is it would be because it floats their boat. Nothing wrong with that. Re: "I have heard that some hardcore circus…"

Sheena Machina replied to the discussion 'Homogenization of props through tech spinning!?!?'
"Agree. Tech can (and has) been incorporated into dance, over time... And with PRACTICE. I think a lot of concepts are awkward as hell at first, until you drill them to the point where they become part of your vocabulary of movement. It's like…"

I must be the Sheena you're talking about because I added my first video like the day before you made that comment lol. :) And I know what you mean about our name - a lot of people think "Sheena" is so rare and either so beautiful or weird  LOL.

 

We also seem to have similar work backgrounds - digital media, but my workplace was so toxic, I left completely...I'm working towards working with animals now. Love em!

Welcome to Hoop City Lovely Lady! And I must agree, poi is a gateway! But you are leaps ahead of others by understanding planes and angles. My husband, the poi boy of our group, can nail my hoop tricks with such little effort...grrrrrr :) Happy Hooping! Just wait till you can knee hoop, and spin poi!! AH!!!!
