About Flow Arts Workshops and Classes
Why I Do This
Flow arts, for me, is where science, art, and a little bit of madness meet. I see the hoop as more than a prop - it’s a way to understand how my mind and body connect. I won’t pretend to be perfect, and I don’t expect you to be either. Some days the moves flop, injuries act up, but the fun is always real.
Who Shows Up Here
- Total newbies (if you’ve never spun anything before, you’ll fit right in)
- Folks wanting a chill, creative way to move
- Anyone feeling stuck or wanting to try something new with a bunch of supportive people
- Curious minds interested in how movement and mindfulness go together
What Happens in My Classes
Pick what suits you:
- Weekend Deep Dive: My “Flow Arts: Basics & Beyond” is an 8-session course over four weekends. We get into beginner hula hoop classes, Poi spinning basics, and Dapostar - you’ll build confidence and learn the real basics.
- One-Day Sampler: Try out a single session if you’re just testing the waters.
- Hula Hoop Alignment: Six weeks, eight classes - focus on hooping, learn alignment, make your own combos, and maybe even perform at the end.
- Retreats and Flow Fests: For those wanting a full-blown creative movement retreat, I host immersive sessions that go deep on both skills and mental reset.
My Vibe
It’s all about progress, not perfection. We cheer for the wobbles, not just the wins, and everyone’s welcome to join my little flow arts community workshops. No drama, just honest movement and a lot of laughs.

My Story
Hoops have been my thing since I was six. Math, design, movement - for me, they all mix up. I used to think math was a pain, but now I see patterns in every toss. Spinfinity grew out of me wanting to break those walls - art and math, both can be wild and beautiful. I’m not perfect, and I don’t pretend. My flowmies and I, we mess up, we laugh, we learn. That’s real.
My Work
Flow Arts Performances - Fire, LED, and regular hoop acts that light up any event. I mix storytelling with movement.
Workshops & Classes - All levels welcome. Learn hula hoop dance, poi, dapostar, and more in a chill, fun space.
STEM Movement Workshops - Kids and adults get hands-on with rhythm, symmetry, and geometry using hoops and games.
Climate Data Pixel Poi Shows - I turn climate change stats into visual stories using pixel poi and movement.
Who I work with - Anyone curious - event folks, schools, individuals wanting to play, move, and connect.
