Picture of Zan           Zan Moore

Zan started performing in South America on tour with his brother Noah, and continues to burn with the same inspired passion as in the beginning. His training has led him far and wide, through a dozen countries and across the disciplines of spinning, dance, juggling, music, yoga, circus, martial arts, and acrobatics. Zan's specialty is dazzling fire performances, though he thrives on the challenge of a unique performance for each event, be it day or night. Whatever the occasion, Zan delivers pure entertainment with unforgettable class, style, and grace.

Known for his expertise in the theory and technique of poi and staff spinning, Zan has given workshops around the U.S. and abroad.

Producing and directing the instructional poi DVD 'The Encyclo-Poi-dia,' sparked his interest in video production, a pursuit which continues to evolove into web videos, documentaries, and DVD creation.

In 2007 and 2008, Zan has been involved with Tour Now & Then, a non-profit circus project that brings motivational performance to audiences across North America. Thr tour's main focus is on children with diabetes, and using performance art to teach them lessons about living successfully with their condition. Zan helped found Tour Now & then, and continues on as the project’s Programs Director. He is in charge of the futuristic stage show, and the fusion of its creative and technological elements. In addition to performing on the tour, Zan is Tour Now & Then's video guru, producing and directing their video updates and skill demos. Photos and web work for the Instruments fall under his domain as well.
