About Flow Arts

Flow Arts is the umbrella term for dancing with an object, also known as object manipulation. Flow Arts focuses on the ‘here and now’ and by dancing with the object you can get into the ‘flow-state’. In this state the dance between yourself and the object has begun and you can be free of your thoughts and just follow the flow.

Besides being a dance form where one can express themselves in fully, it also brings along a community. Many countries have cities with local spin jams, where people come together to practice, share and just have fun with it. There can be danced with fire, LED or regular props depending on what kind of jam it is. On this website I hope to mark all the jams so you can find your way wherever in the world to your community.
