I want to teach myself to be more professional at digital video production. Are there any classes/seminars (online or in L.A.) that you'd recommend?

Would you happen to know someone (or be someone) who offers poi or fire-staffing lessons around CA's south bay region? I'm dying to get back into the hobby, but driving from Redondo to Santa Monica (where most instructors I've found are located) is not appealing at all. Hate the 405. Hatehatehate. Er. Doesn't have to be a professional performer, either - just someone who's familiar enough with most tricks to be a good teacher. Anyone? Anyone?

My girlfriend admittedly struggles with makeup, so her routine is quite simple. Can anybody in the New York area recommend a great place to learn how to apply makeup, get makeup tips, and purchase makeup in person with a stylist. I am looking for a business, stylist, or salon in Manhattan. Excellent customer service is key and somewhere they will take the time to teach (willing to pay for lessons) here how and what makeup to apply and not something like going to Macy's to the makeup counter. Open to paying for lessons, makeovers, etc. Any ideas?

How beneficial would such "cross training" be? How difficult would it be to find a teacher who could guide me on such a hybrid path? Other Thoughts? [more inside]
