Hello All~
Kim here. So, for those of you I haven't told, my newest passion is fire dancing! I know, I can hear all you aunts and uncles and cousins out there... what is this crazy Californian girl doing out there twirling fire around? Well... all I can say is that I am learning this ancient art form and loving it. My creative, dance background lends itself to this activity, and I take it very seriously. I practice a lot without the fire, and take all safety precautions when fire is involved. I have attached a video that Rich took of the first time I spun fire a couple of weeks ago after taking my first class. Please remember, it was my first time... I was pretty terrified and I think I look fairly awkward! But I am getting better and more comfortable quickly, and hopefully I will have better performances to share soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the video of my first fire spin. If you want to learn more about it you can wikipedia "fire dancing" or "poi spinning."

YOU GO GIRL!!! Oliver and Brian and I just watched your video in awe. Brian kept saying, "Only in California..." Keep the videos coming!
Wow. I'm impressed! You are the best fire spinner I've ever seen!
Wow! I do like the safety of performing on the beach -- where better to drop and roll?? Congrats on a great demonstration.
Oh, Sure, Kim. I'm going to run right out and see where I, too, can take poi spinning classes. . .in Southern Maryland! You looked awesome!! And it sounded like everyone was having fun. Rich, of course, is standing nearby with not only a video camera but a fire extinguisher?
I had a fire safety dedicated to me with a fire retardant cloth ready to go. There were also fire extinguishers present...
