Videos We Like

Jay sent me a link to this video. It's a nice example of focusing on body movement and dance, and funky music too!

There has been a rush of great videos from this summer's poi, flow, and fire events. This compilation of footage from Burning Man shot and edited by Adam herscheid shows just how much the art form has matured. Don't be intimidated by the length. The music is great and there really is 15 mintues of footage all worth watching. Heck, I'm going to watch it a few times! 

This year's Swiss Poi and Yoga Retreat was awesome! I can't believe we had such a good time even with all the rain! Franziska put this video together using a piece of music we all connected with (It's Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi).

Next year's Swiss Poi and Yoga retreat will be the second week of August. If that's too far away consider joining us in Costa Rica :)

(Make sure to watch it in full screen if you can!)

Vojta put together this epic complication of clips from a whole bunch of awesome poi videos. It's quite a nostalgia trip of the last ten years of the art form! It also shows how far the skills and video work have come. 

This video by Vojta Stolbenko made me smile! It also inspired me to start making more videos! It's amazing to see the next generation finding their flow. This video has something beyond poi moves!

This videos shows you the potential of LED to be just as awesome as fire! I'd love to get a group together someday to do something of this caliber. If you want to see that happen, make sure you're on the mailing list. It's a lot easier to launch projects when you can tell people about them ;)

Some beautiful and inspiring tech poi spinning from Teddy Petrovsky of NYC.

Here's a little partner-poi inspiration for you. We love watching the evolution of partner poi! 

Mel performed on Ukraine's Got Talent! And it's an amazing performance. The guy has so much talent! :)

Greg and Margaret are definitely one of the best partner poi duos ever! They gave us a preview of this performance when they made a guest appearance at the Bali retreats a few years back. I'm happy to get to post this!

When Thom Thumb's poi are stolen by the mischievious thief Tressa En Abundancia, he goes to great lengths to get them back. WARNING! This video contains footage of someone being beaten with a shoe...

Michael Parisi wows us with some beautiful technical spinning including Tracers, 3D variants, some 3D tracer hybrids and more. Definitely an inspiring video well worth watching!

The poi skills of these amazing ladies speak for themselves...
