Join your fellow speciality dancers for a bit of practice with music. Work on your poi spinning, juggling, or whatever you wish to bring with you!
Description:
The official Gencon dance does not allow for poi or other tools or toys, for safety reasons. So drop by and spend some time to work at your own pace with whatever you like. I'll bring several sets of poi, as well as spinning plates, levitation wands, and juggling balls. There will be time for some minor instruction, but this is not a class so much as a freeform period to practice the things that aren't safe to use elsewhere at a con. Music requests will be considered!
