Tiki Twirl Sessions: Tiki Twirl Sessions

	Tiki Twirl Sessions \| Session Calendar and Locations \| Testimonals Who Should Learn? Sessions are most beneficial to beginners or those seeking to “clean” up basic moves. This would give participants a great platform to learn basic skills well building up a stronger foundation towards more expert skills with our patient instructors who have each built a long list of performing history. Needless to say the numerous times they have whacked themselves on the head. (Hence, the patience and the clean technique.) The group type format of the session is engaging and energetic, and also faciliates a learning environment where twirlers can see how others are doing and correct themselves through the interaction with other twirlers and trainers. Maybe even a poi twirler might want to pick up staff or even the hula. We do not discourage the participation of experienced twirlers however they may find syllabus repetitive or slow.Unfortunately, due to restrictions, all sessions will not include practice with fire props.
