Ryan Williams & Teal Young
Ryan and Teal have been playing, spinning, and fostering community together for over three years now in Santa Barbara, CA. Ryan, an east coast transplant, is fiercely dedicated to his own flow as well as the larger spinning community and has been teaching the flow arts locally and internationally since 2010. Teal, a SoCal native, is one of the most progressive female poi spinners in the U.S. and her bold, emotional style of performance and well-paced flow speak to her talent and drive.
After partnering up for performances early in 2012, the pair discovered a mutual love of partner poi and a great dynamic that strengthened the bond of their already fast friendship. Now they share their accumulated experience with spinners and flow enthusiasts near and far on a mission to drive the art of fire dance to new heights.
