Partner Poi 101

First, we will take students back to the basics with hip reels, shoulder reels and chase the sun and see how they fit into a huge body of partner poi patterns we will be using throughout the course. People familiar with “chase the sun” may still need guidance on how to turn and walk with the move which is how we add movement and group dynamics to them later on. From here we will learn one of the partner 3 beat weaves which will be the basis of the following classes. Lastly we will use turns with hip and shoulder reels to exit the weave. These skill will build into the group poi pattern “The Zipper”.
