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.

Live like there is no tomorrow,
dance like nobody is watching
and hula hoop like wiggling will save the world.

There's no point putting a move into a performance that looks poorly done.
Yes, it's hard to teach someone a particular style, because everyone is different, but you'll find that people will learn moves along the way and put them into their own style.
IMO, if you're teaching something, you have to teach people to do it well.

I'd say be very careful in teaching in this method, as it will mean the students will all focus in getting all the moves right, and become moves orrientated, and you might end up with a class full of people who don't dance or move with the poi. I think it would be a bad idea of presenting students with the list, maybe just keeping it for your own reference, maybe only giving it to them at the end of a level as a checklist. I think you will have to be very disiplined in getting the students to dance and transition, and make sure you emphasise these points when teaching. I understand you need this list for what you are doing, but I think it would be incredibly unproductive to give newbies, who know very little about poi, a big long list of moves to learn, as they will think that this is all their is to it.
Definition of poi- A Hawaiian food made from the tuber of the taro that is cooked, pounded to a paste, and fermented.

I'll get there too late if I shorten my stride, I'll get there too soon if I find me a ride, I'll never move forward if I try to hide this path that I've troden one step at a time.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Spin, bounce, be one with the world, because it is yours to enjoy...

rule 1: the poi should only stay in their plane for a maximum of 3 beats before changing 90 degrees
rule 2: the poi handle should not be in your hands for about 25% of the time
rule 3: the poi should be in a tangled state for about 25% of the time
That's essentially what i've been aiming at with my freestyling recently, it's pretty funny.
