Split time
Uploaded by HOP
Start swinging the Poi forward. Now increase the speed slightly on one of the Poi until it swings around the top when the other Poi is swinging at the bottom. This is "split timing".
When you have that going nice try it in reverse as shown in the animation. Remember to scoop the air when swinging in reverse.
Now try going from Split swinging and back to equal time. Practice these moves until you are comfortable with the Poi and they stay on each side of your body without crossing.

Now try swinging one Poi forward and the other backwards in split time.
When you have got that one try it in the other directions.

Tips/Hints:

Keep an eye on the path that the Poi is traveling and adjust your wrists if they sway.

She says "split them into opposite directions", but they're still going the same direction. . .

I think it's just they're going the same direction but.... split as in one first, then the other.

I can't seem to get my split time to be..split time. They'll be opposites for a few seconds then go back to same time. Any tips or tricks?
