MATERIALS
- A pair of poi (weighted balls attached to cords or tethers)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Hold one poi cord loosely in each hand, letting the weighted ends hang down.
2
Swing both poi in small circles, using wrist and forearm motion to keep them moving smoothly.
3
Coordinate the two poi into matching or alternating patterns, such as circles, figure eights, or crossing movements.
4
Change the size, speed, and direction of your swings to build more complex sequences.
5
Practice syncing your poi patterns to a rhythm or piece of music for a performance-style routine.
6
Groups can perform poi routines together, matching movements for a synchronized group display.
