I snapped a bunch of pictures of everyone trying it out and miraculously no one set themselves on fire. In the pictures everyone looks like an expert since who would be spinning chains of fire around if they didn't know what they were doing?
Fortunately, even if you hit yourself with one of the chains, they tend not to burn you (or leave scorch marks on your clothes). We all tied our hair back as a precaution but other than that it felt pretty safe. The whooshing noise the poi make as you whirl them around puts you in your own little world and its definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone who has the chance.
I'll try to get a video up later.
ahh scary! glad you guys weren't engulfed in flames :)

Fire dancing is a very dangerous performance art, and fire safety precautions should always
