summer’s gonna feel like this. they just announced it yall by @raq_collection

last month i hit my 2 year fire spinning anniversary at Flame 2026 and i dont have many words (rare for me) to describe what this community and art form means to me. there is something so deeply moving about the feeling of truly belonging somewhere and having your presence and efforts be so welcomed and appreciated while also always being encouraged to grow. thank you to everyone around me for all the love & support :’)

i am truly in awe of these photos and feel very honored to have been the subject of @mattomstormy & @alex_angel_photography. thank you for making art that empowers others. and thank u alex for being my homie and always catching me big cheesin 😁

i just got 2 new fire props and i am so excited to continue to explore and play. also i rebranded a bit. 🔥🧚‍♂️ by @raq_collection

it’s a christmas goose!!! by @raq_collection

realized i hadnt shared a clip of me spinning my dragon on fire in over a year ! this clip is from june, but last month hit 2 years since i picked up a dragon staff for the first time. never dreamed that <6 months later i’d be spinning one on fire. and since then ive played with contact staff, levi wand, fans, palm torches, hollow torches, rope dart, hoops, triads, etc! i have found endless amounts of joy in this beautiful community of movement and exploration and have never found a hobby so deeply therapeutic to me.

the fire is a fun extra touch, but the movement, community, and ability to ground and challenge myself is the fun part :3 i have always viewed myself as uncoordinated and risk-averse, and it is fun to learn things i didnt realize my body was capable of and face some of my fears (in a responsible manner :P). thank u to all my friends who support me in my silly little dancey adventures and im excited to keep learning & playing around. i feel very grateful

this was also my first time using sklitter! a fuel additive that creates little sparkles ✨ by @raq_collection

can u believe i lit a torch on fire using a trail of fuel and fire burning across my ARM?? i cannot. AAAA!!!

thank u @juliett_catulett for ur guidance and torches to play with :3 by @raq_collection
