Come learn to spin safely, and also learn safety!
We are moving back INSIDE!!!!
BEGINNING OCTOBER 21, 2009…Lessons are ongoing on Wednesdays from 6PM to 7 PM. We’ve moved things back inside to the NVHS because, let’s face it…it’s getting quite chilly! Once classes are over, feel free to stay, we don’t bite, I promise!
To get to the practice area, just go inside the main-entrance, and continue down the hall until you get to a junction that heads left. We’re right inside that junction area, you can’t miss us!
Keep in mind, since we’re now indoors, community burn will not be possible, but now is the PERFECT time to practice! Come next year when it warms up, you’ll be a pro!

Come early to get a good spot. Space fills up rather quickly. Teachers rotate on an as-needed basis. Want to learn something specific? SPEAK UP! Donations are highly requested, but we won’t turn you away.

Fire and Performer Safety Classes!
If you missed our big, yearly training on 3-29-09 (which at this time, you probably have) and are still interested in becoming a safety, please know that safety is taught on an as-needed basis for the rest of the year. This individualized instruction does not cover the fire extinguisher stuff, but does cover basic performer fire safety and is adequate for most spinning environments.
Fire safety is taught by Bill Schultz (Director of Safety for Controlled Burn), Dave Kaul (dedicated safety), Mark Kiraly (Teksage – also a dedicated safety) or Cory Canon (if available). Amongst them, over a decade of experience with fire safety and tools exists and they will demonstrate proper technique for putting out performers, how to react if a performer catches themself on fire, how to safety for fire performance, information on proper costume and fabrics for fire performing, proper fuel dump storage and what to do in case of fuel dump fire. Students will then practice putting out various tools and reacting in specific scenarios.
Being a fire safety has been the avenue to inclusion in the group and the path to eventual performance for many active members of Controlled Burn. The draw of the fire just becomes too much after awhile!
If you are interested in attending this class, contact Wrangler for more information.
