The sharing of knowledge and development of talent has always been a key part of Firedrums, and workshops are the most visible aspect of this process. In

2008, Firedrums featured workshops taught by some of the best instructors in the world, and we expect this year to be no different. Last year we had both large and small workshops, at levels from introductory to advanced, on a large variety of different props and techniques- such as poi, staff, hoop, drumming, clubs, building equipment, and fire safety. Without members of the community stepping up and volunteering their time and effort to teach workshops, Firedrums would not have become what it is.


Firedrums is now accepting submissions to instruct workshops for 2009.


Guidelines for workshop submissions are shown below. The deadline for submissions is Friday March 13th, 2009.


Firedrums 2009 Workshop Submission Guidelines/Instructions
Workshops will be submitted though the firedrums website this year. In order to submit a class, please do the following:

1. Create a login at www.firedrums.org
-upload a pic and short bio (that we can link to your workshop)
2. Click on the "Classes" tab
3. Click on "Click here to submit a new class or affinity group"
4. Fill out the form (ignore the "class track" tab, that is a holdover from the wildfire site which kindly shared software with us.)
-make sure to include if you will have extra props to borrow if it is an unusual class
-let us know when you will be able to teach, the earliest workshops are thursday afternoon and the latest are sunday at noon.

Please keep in mind that there will be limited space for workshops, we'll do our best to allow everyone to participate, but every year some workshops get turned down. If you have a few workshops you'd be able to teach, please submit them both.
