The Fire Desire Poi & Staff Community was started by a group of South African spinners that are passionate about fire dancing, object manipulation / flow arts.

We started the community website (November 2009) for the South African Community

Some of the initial reasons we started the Fire Desire Community was:

- There was no South African based Community

- To Share our Passion and Love for the Flow Arts

- To Inspire others to play and share our amazing arts

As time passed and website development continued, we started drawing international traffic with some amazing feedback. This made us rethink what it is we really want to achieve with the Website.

One year into the development of the website and countless hours browsing the internet we started realized just how much information is really available online. The scary part is that we are still finding more and more almost daily.

Now being based in South Africa it is hard for many of us to travel overseas to attend the major conventions, retreats, ect. This kind of travelling is just to expensive for the average South African to afford. Almost everything we learnt was thanks to the Passion and Love from artists around the world willing to share their knowledge Online.

This made us realize that there must be many more who depend on the internet to learn and be inspired. We then decided our main goal is to create the most comprehensive collection information in one easy to use website. A website that will truly link/unite the global poi community and their knowledge.

Our Updated Goals for the Community

- Collect/Create a comprehensive collection of Articles
- Create a Comprehensive Tutorial Section like no other
- Provide a platform for everyone to easily learn,share&interact
- Create an Easy to navigate, fun & interactive website
- Keep you up to date with news and events
- Link out to other Flow Art related websites
- Motivate and Inspire others to share and contribute
- Listening to what the community want and acting on this
- To encourage everyone to get physically involved in the development of this community.
- To put South Africa on the Map in the Poi World and encourage the big names to come here.

If it was not for artists around the world sharing what they know we would never have learnt what we have. For this reason we encourage everyone to share and help further our amazing art. The Fire Desire Community evolves and grows through the each and every person that is willing to get involved. We consider everyones ideas and thoughts and so the Website is forever evolving and growing.
