Have you ever been in Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona? If you haven’t, you really should! On weekends people usually meet in this fabulous park to relax, to have a beer on the sun or hidden under the palm trees while listening the music with and having good fun with their friends. If you go there, even just for a walk, you can notice many people having a good time, especially during the sunny days.
During an afternoon in the park, you can meet different type of fun. There are lot of artists and jugglers, playing with different tools. Hula Hoop, people playing bongos or other handmade instruments, some extreme yoga, slackline artists, and also those who play with this strange cloth called Dapostar.
In fact, what is it and how can you play with that?
Dapostar was born from a bright idea of Tai Dapero, who started to play with some kitchen cloths, then this practice developed for many years until it became very famous, firstly appeared in Barcelona, then in the rest of the world. Even now this game is in constant evolution, it is a new way of entertainment that improves your coordination and concentration.
Dapostar has a eight-pointed star shape, and it is made by good quality materials that permit a better grip. It is often characterized by a vaste range of colours and wefts, so you will certainly find the one you like the most.
But how do you play with it?
In order to be able to play with Depostar you have to make a rotating movement with you fingers, like tis showed on the picture. While rotating Dapostar will gain more and more speed and you will be able to pass it to another person or doing particular tricks. It is just a matter of practice! However, as I already said, Dapostar is always in development, so even you can find some new ways to play with it! For example, my friends and I started to play Dapo-volleyball, introducing some specific rules.
