TehToast Member Registered: 11/11/07 Loc: North Carolina	I've had poi for about a month now. I can do a butterfly, alternate butterfly, big butterfly, Mexican weave, and a three beat weave, and a three beat weave over the head. Am I doing any good with poi for my first month, or do I need allot of work for a beginner? I'm having trouble doing a butterfly behind my head then bringing it back in front of me btw.

Tanelorn newbie Registered: 06/12/07	heres what it says in the FAQ for this forum matey I know all these moves, and I've been spinning for one month. Is that good? Tell me I'm great... Ask something like this and you'll get a lot of nice people telling you that you're great and it really doesn't matter as long as you're having fun. People learn at different speeds, people have learnt quicker and better than you, and other haven't.

Nah, really, you're doing good. Maybe work on neatening it up though? Some of those moves are bound to be sloppy still but that will improve with practice. _________________________ 'We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."

The latter is probably more smooth & lets you keep a flow going during a session.
