Double poi? Anyone?

Hey folks...

I've been experimenting with double poi recently (two poi in each hand)
Have any of you lot experimented with this?
Want to swap ideas?

awoooga

awoOOgah-SPooOGA!

Do you mean like meteor stylee, with each poi separate? I have dabbled with the double thing briefly,.. baffling as fek.

Got any tecniques u can tel ME about?

teeheee..

I've seen it done in NZ by Maori women...

Looked pretty cool, but it seems like the moves you can do are limited.

split your timing into 4time
1left,2right,3left,4right
instead of both left(1-2)then both right(3-4) ...thats a sewing-into-centre move i found
when i borrow rainbow faeries orange poi that match mine - from Nick n' Ali
no stretch i found to be best controlled
'where the wild things are' party- i had a bit of a breakthrough

close your eyes sometime with double poi`s

I haven't tried this yet, can use a meteor badly in my right hand, as a staff. Can't do a one handed butterfly. My left hand is currently beyond hope, much work needs to be done

but.....

I was floating around looking for something yesterday(ish?) and found this thread.

"a butterfly turn", which is rather splendidly about this. I wasn't even thinking about this sort of thing but it's really quite a good read.

Anyway hope it helps somehow, many thanks to jonathon and Phunky.

Now I've just got to build a second set of poi.

hey yea i remeber 2 years ago i did QUAD POI, 4 pois, in 2 hands ( two in each hand) and i did hexpoi (six pois two hands )
all i ahve to say is FURN AS FUN
