Intro to Poi
My beginner Poi workshop is based on the idea that many of us have already learned the basic movements of Poi as children on the playground. I start with a warm-up with jump ropes. Jump roping is a fun warm up that imitates the same time hip real movements, forwards and backwards, as well as same time weaves; these can be build to split time. Double Dutch skipping is a lot of fun to try, and it imitates split-time butterflies, which takes spinners into the wall plane. Following this warm up, I take my students through the basics of weaves and butterflies. There is enough time for people to learn butterflies, in both split time and same time, the corkscrew, as well as 2 beat weaves, and for some to learn 3 beat weaves. I will have some practice poi sets available.
Body Tracers with Poi
In this workshop, we will explore the art of body tracers. From waist wraps to archer weaves, we will delve into new and captivating ways of tracing the poi around your body. This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to add a bit of sexy and fun to their movements.
