Class Descriptions
Beginning Poi:
This class will cover several of the fundamental types of motion used in poi spinning. After taking it you will have a deeper understanding of timing and direction as well as an arsenal of tricks that you can combine and modify to transform you from a novice spinner to a poi master.
Beginning Double Staves:
Learn double staff from the ground up in this class designed for the beginner. After a thorough examination of the many myriad ways to manipulate a staff we begin combining techniques to seamlessly integrate a second staff.
Beginning Partner Poi:
Learn to spin with a friend. Partner poi is all about taking simple poi tricks and sharing
them with someone else. Learn 5 awesome moves in this class. Bring a partner or we'll provide you with one.
Beginning Contact Staff:
An introduction to contact staff manipulation with an emphasis on further learning. This class will take you through the basics of wrapping, rolling and spiraling with a staff. Hand, elbow, shoulder and neck wraps; halos and backside spirals.
Intermediate Contact Staff:
We will explore taking fundamental contact moves and begin stringing them together into more complex move sequences including: conveyer belts, SNES, and Steves. We will also add a few more difficult individual moves to our contact vocabulary including: angel rolls and The Jesus.
Intermediate Poi Technique:
In this class we will explore several fields of moves that provide the foundation for many advanced poi techniques. We will cover isolation, stalls and 1.5's, inversions, flowers, antispin, and polyrhythm building up to an understanding of hybrid poi spinning.
Intermediate Double Staff Hybrids:
Bring both a set of poi and double staffs and learn twice as much! The concepts for spin and antispin hybrids are pretty much the same for both! You will learn many hybrids with only two different elements. This class will focus on full and half antispin isolation/hybrids and will give a new perspective to the hybrids you all ready know.
