I am very much a non yo-yoer. I did not notice. Nor do I still... Lol.
Tried the way of the yo-yo a few times, never got too far without hitting myself in the balls or the face.
Poi spinning was the thing that hooked me on movement arts.

Poi is amazing! I have always wanted to get the basics down so I could mess with fire poi. It’s so mesmerizing.
Haven't pulled them out for a few years now, but I can confirm fire poi are awesome.
Back in my late teens I had an arrangement with an entertainment company where they would send me out to events to perform. Made all my own costumes too.
It was a really fun period in my life, even if it was short-lived. There is a certain joy in performance. A shared experience with a crowd as you take them on a journey. It's addictive.
Been nearly a decade since I've done any of that, but I cherish the memories.
That is awesome 😊 I can relate to being sent to do demonstrations, though never with fire personally. I can understand the excitement though :) thank you for sharing that with me 🤝
