It's not about routine anyways to be honest. I think that if you start planning it all, it gets really boring. I started poi for the chance to move and dance and be creative and make people go wow. Not because I needed another routine in my life. I've got enough of those already cheers biggrin. I reckon that poi should just be movement, none of this technical planned junk. Just go with it and do what feels right and you have a great performance!

Shut up and dance cause I wanna pop.†

A kiss blown is a kiss wasted, the only kind of kiss is a kiss tasted.

I'm a woman. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating and not just a LITTLE bit scary.

Are there any girls here who can honestly attest to the contrary?




Yes, there are some techy girls out there. They're few and far between. But they're the best in the world in my opinion. A girl who can dance while incorporating technical prowess is amazing. BamBam and Cassandra are two who stand out in MY mind. I know there are more. But yes, they're rare.

To play devil's advocate though... It DOES and will ALWAYS break my heart that a chick in a bikini HOLDING poi will always beat the most tecnical guy in the eyes of most audiences.

Then again, it's a small price to pay in such a male dominated society.

(My, that's a whole new can of worms isn't it? wink )

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Well, I don't what it is that turns poi girls into sex goddesses but just the other night I had my first public performance and this old man came up to me and was like,
"Are you the fire dancer?" I said,
"Yes." and then he said,
"Can I hug you?"
Now being the trusting naive poi girl that I am I gave him a hug and for the first time in my 20 years of existence this old man copped a freakin field on me!!!! Could not believe it!!! Afterwards I told my friends and they said,
"It must be the fire!"

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in to stop my mind from wandering....

Yeah, the amount of people that stand and drool over female poi spinners is slightly worrying...

Well said mech! biggrin

I think its fine for people to drool over us female spinners as long as they don't touch! Fireflye, i wouldve punched that guy, or at least got a big strong bloke to punch him or possibly just shouted at him a lot biggrin

On another note, what counts as techy?? confused

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

I haven't gotten around the scene much yet + I can't wait to see some ladies playing fire. Girls always stay away from meh poi and go "I can't do that, I'm a girl." Always seemed dumb to me cos girls are usually class at... moving.They've got rythm. I know one girl who's got into poi + she's got the flow (but I don't get to drool cos she's only 15.) So its good coming on here and seeing that more ladies like to play aswell.

Maybe its paaaartially because girls don't like bruises and scars quite as much as guys?

I'm new to yhis poi stuff, but I have to say the Girlies win.
I can spin quite a few moves, but when it comes down to all that spinning and wiggling the girls do, I haven't got a clue. Just end up in a tangled mess.
And they don't have to worry about hitting there nuts

If everything seems under control, your not going fast enough!

It's not the size of the wave, it's the length of the ride!

ubblol you obviously haven't met a few of us wink

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

This is one time that being blessed with small boobies is a good thing...

I actually set mine on fire one of the first times I lit my staff up. It was amusing because I had three guys toweling for me and they all rushed to my aid. However, since I was spinning a staff, I just held it in one hand and put myself out with the other...they were not amused. biggrin

Big breasts aren't all they're cracked up to be anyway. Sure they're good for oggling, but there is a difference between oggle value and sexiness.

Big breasts can be just as sexah as small ones. Its all about the woman wearin' 'em.

i have faith in people to have evolved to the point where gender is not percieved as a limit.

kickass poi grandmasters like cass and ros twirl like how i wanna, in tech and grace!

!!sexual stereotyping is not everything!!

if you think gender makes a difference, then you DEFINITELY haven't seen enough twirlers to form a definitive opinion.

hmmm girls dont get bruised or scarred?

Sheesh. Good thing you havent met me, I'd blow that theory out of the water.

Ok, this is my two cents.

The type of spinning a person does is not dependant on whether they are male or female, it has more to do with how confident they are while using their chosen toys. I've seen more girls compensating with wiggle simply because they dont know more technical moves, and because they arent confident with how they look doing poi and learning to use their whole bodies, to dance, instead of just bounce around.

But the same can be said of Men Too! I dont care that people think girls who wiggle are sexier, in my mind a well dressed person who can poi their ass off in a beautiful controlled fluid manner is going to beat some silly chick in a bikini any day. No questions asked. I'm more likely to look aside in disgust (and have done) at some girl taking their top off to spin, because I dont think it's neccessary and I think it's more dangerous than attractive.

I'm a non wiggler and proud. I dance with my poi/ropedart/staff/whatever, oh YES do I dance.

But sorry. I dont wiggle.
