Private Poi Spinning and Fire Dancing Lessons
Sometimes clients require more focused attention and support and are better suited to learning on a one-on-one basis or are unable to make our course due to busy schedules and prefer the freedom of choosing when and where to learn to spin. Private lessons offer you the opportunity to learn at your own pace and clients are given the time and space to fully explore the various spinning concepts within their own timeframe. If you are interested in having either private lessons, or lessons with you and a few friends, we can offer private lessons at a mutually agreed venue.
Private lessons offer the advantage of you being able to choose where and when you spin and we can customise the courses to your exact needs and specifications.
If you are interested in Private Poi Lessons, please email us at perfectcirclepoi@gmail.com or call 075132 56360
