Staff, stave or baton spinning and twirling is probably one of the most natural and easily adopted skills in the juggling world to pick up!
For most people it only takes a few hours of practice to plot out a performable staff routine, on the other hand, an advanced staff manipulator can do the basic moves at incredible speeds, as well as infinitely more complicated moves.
Once all moves have been mastered with a practice staff the next step up in staff spinning is contact staff manipulation where the performer's hands never make contact with the staff as it rolls, spins and twists around the body. After that there is another two ways to go, one is with multi-coloured LED staffs / Glow in the Dark staffs, or for the daredevils of the sport is by using a fire staff or contact fire staff !
REMEMBER! Master your spinning skills with a practice staff before you attempt to play with fire!
