Dance noob, poi spinner, and reluctant introvert, at your service!

[daughterphoenix]

Hi guys! I'm new here.

 

I'm Aubrie. 25/F/San Francisco. I'm a professional writer.

 

I kinda liked acrobatics and cheerleading, growing up, but when I was a youngun everyone would say "oh no Aubrie, you're too fragile and introverted for that, you'll probably hate it," so I stopped. Now I'm an "adult," and boy, have times changed. I've discovered the intense joys of poi spinning, parkour, and aerial silks. On the weekends I lift weights with my roommates.

 

I love learning new things, improving my flexibility, breaking personal records. I desperately want to learn how to dance, but my personality sometimes gets in the way. My main goal is to be great at everything I enjoy. The hard part is pushing through that initial awkward noob phase.

 

I hope some of you can relate. Glad to be here!

Nice to see a new member! What is parkour like? I don't really know what aerial silks and poi spinning is, but I've always wanted to do parkour.

I always thought poi was some kind of fish sauce. I concur with Warnamon, please elaborate on poi spinning.

 

Also, glad to have you, this is a great place for encouragement to go try something new.

Not really sure why there is no "Bard" class here. Plenty of fitness in dance and other performance arts.
