These are the belly moves. Let me know if you would like Salsa, Flamenco, Hip-Hop, Ballroom, Go-Go or line dancing.... as I incorporate all these more "traditional" dance styles into my routines.

i'm not really a dancer, but i am learning to incorporate some of my tai chi moves into poi somewhat.....
it's great for your coordination, but i've no idea if it looks good. only ever practised it alone.....

i do english folk dancing and french - it works quite well.
if you go to a techno rave, just look at the people skipping on the spot and imagine them moving around, it's kind of like that. Except you don't move too far or you lose the people you were with.

I have always found personally, that dancing and poi are inseparable. Who here hasn´t found themselves on a dancefloor and kinda visualising poi movements as you dance?
I agree with what has been said before - its a matter of listening to the music, or feeling your own natural rhythm if you´re not listening to music and let thm moves just flow into each other.
It is really noticable those who dance,and those who do series of tricks. Both are watchable and entertaining, but dancing is so much more aesthetically pleasing - and in my opinion more enjoyable.
close your eyes and move.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried poi & tap or has seen this done before?

What's the gaucho (? maybe) thing with the clacking poi(-like swingy things with metal weights) on the ground as you tap that Cirque du Soleil had in Saltimbanco called?
That was/is tap and poi at the same time (though the poi moves were *very* limited -parallel circles in and out of time and 2 and 3 beat weave is pretty much all I remember- even in the Soleil show)

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
