Before you commit

Choir Singing

  • Your single voice exposed and wandering off pitch would mortify you.
  • You would rather sing solo than blend and bury yourself in a section.
  • Weekly rehearsals and sight-reading rhythms feel like too much commitment.

Fire Spinning

  • Lots of unlit practice before fire, and that's exactly as it should be.
  • Fire is a real hazard needing safety gear, fuel sense, and a spotter.
  • An outdoor, open-space pursuit, not a living-room hobby once lit.
