Hello, dear friend, and thank you for your interest in NeoFlowArt!
Our journey began in 2007, when a group of close friends discovered the world of flow arts. Inspired by this passion, we founded our own flow arts school in 2009. Two years later, in 2011, we opened a workshop where we started making fire props for our students. At first, we also offered high-quality equipment from well-known brands such as Home of Poi and Flowtoys, but before long we began designing and manufacturing our own programmable LED props, including poi, staffs, and other flow equipment.
For many years, we focused exclusively on the Russian market, constantly improving our products through real-world experience and feedback from thousands of artists. Every new generation of props became more reliable, more durable, and easier to use.
The positive response from our students, customers, and professional performers gave us the confidence to share our creations with the rest of the world. In late 2017, we launched international shipping, making NeoFlowArt products available to artists across the globe.
Today, our mission remains the same: to create innovative, high-quality LED flow props at a fair price, helping performers bring their creativity to life through light and movement.
In 2014, we became the first company in the world to introduce Image Stabilization and automatic rotation speed tracking in programmable pixel poi. Our proprietary rendering engine delivers up to 4,540 image rows per second, automatically adjusting playback speed to match the user's spin. At the time, most competing props operated at only 1,500–2,500 rows per second, resulting in stretched or compressed images and requiring manual calibration. Similar technology from other manufacturers did not appear until 2018—and even then, only as an early beta feature.
Between 2016 and 2017, we developed a new generation of reliable and affordable LED props, including AeroPoi—one of the world's first budget-friendly programmable pixel poi that allowed users to create their own custom effects. In early 2017, we also became the first company to introduce fully programmable LED fans and full-length illuminated staffs.
In 2018, we introduced a completely new generation of pixel hoops and fans featuring our own proprietary housing design. Unlike conventional constructions, our hoops conceal all wiring, securely integrate the batteries, eliminate fragile foam components, and offer an adjustable balance system. The result is a cleaner appearance, exceptional durability, and superior handling.
We were also the first company in the world to develop programmable contour LED fans with a unique blade shape. In 2020, we completely redesigned the concept and introduced the PolyFans series—our strongest, most comfortable, and most durable programmable LED fans to date (read more).
We launched our Instagram in 2017, followed by our Facebook page and the English version of our website, NEOPOI.COM, in the summer of 2018. In the spring of 2021, our project was rebranded as NeoFlowArt to better reflect our vision and expanding product range (read more).
Today, NeoFlowArt includes a local flow arts school, a showroom, a manufacturing workshop, and a service center. We collaborate with theaters, performance groups, clubs, and flow arts schools, and proudly support local festivals and conventions. One example is our sponsorship of the first Russian Poi Convention (Instagram: @poi_con), along with many other community events.
Our mission is simple: we love flow arts, and we love creating equipment that inspires people to perform. Nothing motivates us more than seeing artists around the world use our props to create unforgettable performances and bring joy to their audiences. That passion drives us to keep improving our products—making them more reliable, more functional, and even more enjoyable to use.
We're always excited to meet new friends from around the world, and we hope you'll enjoy our products as much as we enjoy creating them.
*Our core NeoFlowArt team. We'd also like to thank all the programmers, engineers, artists, theater partners, freelancers, and everyone else who has helped make this journey possible.
