In this video we look at buzzsaws; how to learn them, how to turn with them, and how to make them look good. Filmed at the inspiring Don Valley Brickworks, well worth checking out if you love the idea of nature coming back to major cities.
In this lesson we keep the poi spinning on a wall plane while we turn through a full circle. This teaches plane control through a full range of motion. Great for developing freedom to dance!
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!
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.
