We think learning poi is like learning music. Once a musician has mastered scales, they can play freely and learn new songs quickly. It is much the same with "the Scales of Poi."

Our goal is to inspire you, help you avoid pitfalls, and to get you on the frontier of poi with us as soon as possible. We are not masters, but we are definitely some of the most dedicated and experienced students you're going to find. It is from this perspective that we share what we know.

We also believe that there are many disciplines that have something to offer poi, so we're contantly looking to learn from any source. We think it's exciting that global poi is such a young art, and we're glad to be part of it's evolution.

All lessons and workshops focus on the Scales of Poi,  a series of expercises and concepts that build motor skills from the ground up. The goal: Advanced control of your planes, freeing your poi from your body, freeing your arms from each other, opening to rhythm, and turning it all into expressive movement and dance. Workshops will also cover many specific moves, including isolations, hyperloops, hip reels, barrel turns, whirling, compound circles (flowers), etc.

For beginners, these workshops are a great way to build a good foundation for dancing with poi. Avoid pitfalls, backtracking, and frustration later by developing good habits now. For experienced poi enthusiasts, they are a great way to open up new horizons and take their practice to the next level.
