So you're on the dance floor, and you can't think of much to do with your arms. You decide to try out the movements associated with 3bt weave, except without the poi obviously.
Do you :
a) look cool
b) look like a loony escaped from their asylum
?

I do poi moves without the poi; usually corkscrew with big arms, it looks big and fairy like, but I probably look stupid!

however, if you wang someone in a club you're likely to get in trouble with a bit of reciprocal wanging - at a festival they'd probaby give you a hug!

i had never thought about it, and probably would never try it when im sober. But when im a few drinks down and this thought slowly creeps back into my mind, i probably will because i'll think its a good idea. But i'll let you know how it goes if i do.

hmmm did this after a few oo many southern comforts and suchlike on saturday.
dancing front of stage like a looney with my poi. various people stealing them. then they break so i :
A: forgot i didnt ave poi and satrted poiing with no poi. just glowsticks
B:tried to mend them. popped them and got glowy fluid evrywhere.
doing poi with no poi is very natural to me. apart from wrap tricks which are tricky without poi
