I’ve started trying 2/3 weeks ago, and it’s hard, I’ve got bruises on my legs, and nearly got my self a black eye!!
I’ve been following tutorials on the internet, but I think I need someone to teach me! in person!



I would like to see if it is wonderful-sounds similar to Indian Club Swirling 2 months ago

My friend Tamizami does this! I wonder if I would love it as much as she does!

I’ve been finding it difficult to learn. I’ve been using the videos of playpoi.com. They’ve been helping a lot. I was cruising right along until I got to the 6th video. Crossing poi while spinning them backwards, and doing a backwards 2 beat weave. This has been giving me soo much difficulty. I’ve been stuck on this for like a month. Every time it ends up hitting my leg.



So far.. 10 months ago

I’ve been doing the tutorials on playpoi.com and finding them really great. I’ve done the first two weeks worth and its made me heaps more confident with my poi and I’ve learned hip reels, crossing same time, 2-beat weaves, the butterfly and the forward 3-beat weave.
I’m absolutely addicted and loving it.

Still not really confident enough to play with fire- but soon hopefully.
I need to buy myself some pants….

Well I’m president of my class so I do a lot of hiring DJs for school dances and whatnot. We had this one DJ we really liked, and they did poi with glowsticks as a sort of light show at the school dances. We all loved it. But unfortunately this DJ moved away, and there are no other DJs that do this. I’ve always admired it, and maybe I can learn it before our next class event.

I’m going to ask for poi chains for christmas :]
