Staff Spinning & Contact Staff DVDs

Unlock the full potential of your flow with our professional Staff Spinning and Contact Staff DVDs. Whether you are drawn to the high-speed manipulation of double staffs or the hypnotic, "no-hands" illusions of contact staff, having a visual guide is essential for mastering the complex geometry of this prop. At Oddballs, we’ve spent over 40 years at the heart of the UK flow arts scene, and we know that a good instructional video can save you hours of frustration. These DVDs feature world-class manipulators breaking down the physics of momentum and the secrets of the perfect roll.

From Foundations to Fluidity

The staff is one of the most versatile props in the circus world, and our media library covers every style. Our Instructional DVDs provide a structured path: starting with basic spins, stalls, and hand-changes, before moving into advanced "Contact" theory, where the staff moves across the shoulders, neck, and back. With slow-motion replays and multiple camera angles, you can study the exact hand placements and body mechanics that create a seamless flow. Perfect for visual learners, these resources turn "impossible" tricks into achievable milestones.

Master Every Staff Discipline

• Foundation Spinning: Master the basics of figure-eights, weaves, and tosses for single and double staff.

• Contact Staff Mastery: Learn the body-rolling techniques that make the staff appear to defy gravity.

• Double Staff Geometry: Deep dives into antispin, flowers, and independent hand coordination.

• Acrobatic Staff: Combine staff manipulation with movement, footwork, and dance-based choreography.

• Technical Theory: Understand the "centres of gravity" and rotational physics that underly all staff tricks.
