Hi y'all,

I'm lizzie and I'm new to poi and find it mindblowingly entrancing and can't wait to learn more than the very basic stuff I can do now. Looking for people in my area who wanna meet up and show me some new tricks redfaceso to speak?!?
Just returned from Glasto where I saw some amazing spinning and can't wait to be that good.

Any hints for newbies would be gratefully received.

1. Hold Staff in hand(s).

2. Spin.

Easy, huh? biggrin

Seriously, just check out the Free lessons at the top of this page. They're really useful and there are plenty of threads talking about other moves.

To save you a LOT of hassle, there's a search function at the top of the page, and it comes in useful when wondering how to best preserve your hair...

rolleyes



Only if you want to look crap wink



Staff is harder than it looks... Just the basic spinning on the wall plane takes a bit off effort getting the hand positioning right wink

Never hold your farts in! They travel up your spine, go into your brain and that's where shitty idea's come from.
