Although it may feel like you're doing a Chase the Sun type pattern, it's also a forwards and backwards partner weave at the same time. But most importantly it's fun :)
Once you've learned the basic 3-beat partner weaves, the next step is to learn them facing away from each other. This will allow you to step through different positions from the 4-beat cross-weave. This will all make sense soon.
Keeping split-time with your partner will be the foundation of many partner-poi moves. It's harder than you think! Here we look at ways to get started.
Learn the fundamental rhythms of poi with your arms. This is helpful for spinning with partners or on your own. Start here or the other partner-poi videos will be hard to follow!
Nick demonstrates a few ways to wrap the poi around your hands to spin with shorter poi, followed by a Sign of Intelligent Life: Toronto's new Bixi Bikes! Music is "The Happy Track" by Delhi 2 Dublin. A big thanks to Kim Ivey and Raymond Ng for video.
More partner poi passing, this time with more hats! Thom Thumb and I play with transitions between wall-plane passing and wheel plane passing, with a little hat stealing thrown in for good measure!
This video is full of awesome things! Playful partner poi, the amazing LOOOOP, the Flowspace (Flowtoys' studio), the videography of Yuta, and even some sweet outtakes.
Nicely done, guys and gals. Rock on with your bad selves!
Here we learn to add poi to poitruvian man with some basic transitions! If you can learn this well it becomes the basis for many moves and transitions.
