What’s Your Flow?
As humans living in time and space, we like to explore different ways of flowing and glowing with the world around us. At festivals, concerts, and shows; it is a common occurrence to see people throwing and grooving their bodies to the music. A lot of people actually choose to use items to dance and groove with, and to make their flow more interesting and personalized. This kind of dancing with props such as glowing gloves or hula hoops is usually referred to as flow arts. Flow arts can expand vastly from small to large in terms of what props people can use to help express their style of dance. Each of them very unique!
