CUSTOMER REVIEWS

As a Martial Arts Teacher of 35 years, I’m impressed with the tremendous knowledge that Srikanta possesses. His ability to communicate it on video is fantastic.
-Tim Jacobs
Been after a set of good quality staff tutorials for a while and the price is an absolute bargain considering it is a complete tutorials series from beginner to intermediate from a Cirque Du Soleil Artist. What is missing from tutorials I\’ve seen are the choreography and stage presence elements that you go through in the DVD. But before this gets too long I can\’t say how highly I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
- Josh Wilson

I bought your dvd reviewed it all- Great presentation, much to train with. Your inspirational interviews provide many insights into what i need to consider. I knew that I have little interest in twirling a stick with a bunch of tricks thrown in and this provides a valuable context in which to learn techniques with the intent of making dance.
- Frank Harris

Bought the DVD ages ago. Absolute bargain. Ask yourself how much you would expect to pay to get lessons from a Cirque du Soleil level performer? The choreography sections are my favorite. It extends beyond just being technical. Great work Srikanta!
- Josh Wilson

That\’s a really excellent thing! Thank you Srikanta for providing us with instructions on how to dance with the fire staff- not just simple fast spinning. Great job!
- Adam Gizinski

A MESSAGE FROM SRIKANTA

“This video series represents the teaching which I’ve refined over more than 10 years of instructing staff. It is well rounded in its approach & revolutionary in its scope. In addition to being a stand-alone technical resource for absolute beginners to intermediate and beyond, it provides students with the tools to continue learning & discovering independently. Furthermore, it is a testament to the role of FLOW within the fire & object manipulation arts- something which is at the root of the art-forms evolution, but currently lacking from the majority of its public presentation.”

From Fusion Arts 2019 Poi & Staff Retreat.
The students created this choreography as part of the intermediate/ advanced staff curriculum.
They picked the song and added 2x8 each day in small groups then came back together to present, vote and learn the new sections. There is even 2x8 from Kevin's Contact Staff Workshop (which was a part of this years program).
I'm really happy with the way it turned out! Good flow and fun to dance.

Join us in 2020! https://fusion-arts.com/workshops-and-retreats/

My favorite slice combo, from my current solo act.
Chapter 13 on SLICES teaches the basics of this movement. For the rest, see you at the next Fusion Arts Fire Dance Retreat in April!

Srikanta demonstrates the 4 Warrior Patterns. Only Warrior 1 is taught in his intructional video series 'Dancing with the Fire Staff'. For the first time on video here are the other three!!!

The Warrior Patterns are half turns with the staff while the body adjusts to open or twist. Make it your own and experiment!
Warriors 1 & 2 happen from spinning in Forwards Figure 8
Warriors 3 & 4 happen from spinning in Backwards Figure 8

Be sure to try asymmetrical warrior patterns (by keeping the staff in one hand) AND symmetrical warrior patterns (by exchangin the staff between each warrior).

Here are a couple of Srikanta's signature horizontal acro moves with the staff- always a popular request in workshops. The basic movement for these is slices (Chapter 13 the instructional video series Dancing with the Fire Staff).

Srikanta demonstrates underhand tosses with the double staffs in both SAME & SPLIT DIRECTION. Ability to do these provide a good base for more advanced tosses and sequences.

First, in Same direction, he demonstrates switching tracks by navigating through the Forwards direction. Don't forget to try switching tracks by navigating through the Backwards direction.
