Please can someone give me advice in putting together a poi routine?
I help at the local Brownie unit and we are putting on a show for the parents later this term.
I would like to take my glo poi down and do a simple routine, but don't know how to even start!
When I'm spinning normally, I tend to do a lot of 3bw, and not much else!
The moves I can do are -
butterflies (the simple one!), shoulder reels, hip reels (opp directions, outwards circles only), 3bw and I can turn round (using large circles)
I do aim to build up my repartoire of moves, but that is what I have at the moment, and am confident doing!
Any help would be much appreciated.

put on some of your favorite music to dance too, turn off the lights if your using glow poi, or just be outside and jam the f**k out. no routines, just flow. you will have much more fun as a beginner.
peace

There are a couple pointers on this in the Expressive movement / costumes and props forum.
Otherwise, I agree with philis. Just move, do not get too hung up on doing a setpiece.
