Krissy is hosting FREE Flow Arts classes to produce a comprehensive research paper exploring how flow arts can serve as a medium for community building. The paper will focus on the how the role of accessible spin jams can foster social connections, creativity, and a shared sense of purpose through movement and artistic expression.
The mission is to create and foster community through open practices and classes in flow arts. This includes hula hooping, poi dance and other props with dancing.
Flow arts is a dynamic practice that blends elements of dance, skill-based object manipulation, and creative expression. It often incorporates props such as poi, hula hoops, staffs, fans, and juggling equipment, which are used in rhythmic, fluid movements to create visual artistry or tell a story.
What are Spin Jams?
Spin jams are social gatherings for flow artists and anyone curious about flow arts. They offer an inclusive, welcoming space where people of all skill levels can explore prop-based manipulation. These gatherings are the heart of the community—where we come together to share ideas, connect and become part of a community.
Participants will learn:
- Basic moves for poi, hoops, fans, flow wand, and other props
- Introduction to timing, direction and planes (Fundamentals for learning flow arts)
- How to share ideas, moves and connect with others through flow arts.
- Overcoming the fear of "messing up"
- How to move and dance with different props
- The joy of inclusivity and connection
- Spatial and body awareness
Classes are for any age and props are provided!
