This poi dancing tutorial covers how to do basic poi turns, specifically how to do poi chaines turns. Chaines turns are a technique from ballet that we can apply to our poi spinning. Learning basic poi turns such as this teach you both how to turn with poi as well as how to dance with poi!
In this video I'm using Umoja Poi from LanternSmith. Pick up a pair at [ Ссылка ] and use my promo code "drexfact0r" to get a discount on your order!
Start by placing both feet along an imaginary straight line and swing one foot out away from the line in a half circle till it returns to a point further down the line. Pivot on the ball of the other foot by giving yourself some momentum to travel upward.
Now switch which foot you're pivoting on and which foot swings out. You want to keep your direction of turn consistent so you'll always be swinging out across the same side of the line.
Now try turning the opposite way, swinging across the other side of the line in order to keep your body even.
Try this at first with some simple poi reel turns before trying more complicated moves like antispins and extensions.
