I’ve been trying to get my poi groove back. It’s not easy after a long time of not spinning poi. My moves aren’t as polished as they were. And it’s not like I know a lot of moves either. Argh. I think I have forgotten some of them already. *tears*
Here are some of my current poi moves:
Weave
Reverse Weave
Butterfly
Reverse Butterfly
Alternating Butterfly
Corkscrew
Windmill
Thread the Needle
Buzzsaw
The moves on my current learning list:
Reverse Buzzsaw
Reverse Thread the Needle
Reels
I suppose Reels should be basic moves but it’s been ages. Yikes! I really should practice more. Also, one of my poi sets needs to be repaired. The atom ones are broken. Well, one of them. This is a reminder that I should really have brought the sock poi instead of the atom ones at the office. I am considering rushing to Greenbelt 1 tomorrow to get a new set of Planet Zips poi from Tickles so I could practice again. *sigh* I wonder where were my old blue and yellow ones. Those were quite nice to handle actually. The sock poi from Speevers are cheaper but they don’t look as reliable as the ones from Planet Zips.
Don’t expect any videos yet though. I still suck at spinning poi and I have no choreography whatsoever.
