I agree that flowers and anti flowers etc are now far more common, but turning within anti-spun planes is still f***ing hard, and I've seen very few do it well, so i would still stake that as advanced.

I feel that our view of what's beginner and what's advanced really needs a complete overhaul.
Written by: Rovo
It's only because alot of us have been spinning long before inswings and insides were well known that they seem like a challenging new move.
If we teach the basic idea behind "advanced" concepts to beginners, i.e. teach them basic insides, basic antispin, basic longarm, basic tangles, basic polyrhythm from the start they will already have an idea in their heads that this is a way I can manipulate the poi and they will be able to work on that on their own.

beginner: all of spinning.
intermediate: flow.
advanced: dance / character / story
master: all of the above, without thinking. (and having been spinning for more than ten years )

I think the urge to characterize certain moves and concepts as beginner/intermediate/advanced is flawed because, as Durbs and others have pointed out, what is considered advanced changes over time

Which raises the interesting (...ish) question of what is "Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Advanced" with regards to poi?
Written by: Durbs
Re: Meg, Clare & Kael - You're talking about spinners being beg/int/adv, which ain't what I'm discussing (:p ) - Yes, the longer a person has been spinning (either in years, or practise hours) will make them more advanced and move more easily with and between moves (rather than the moves they know).

So does this suggest that, barring nothing new being
discovered/invented in the world of poi - all moves will sort of settle to the bottom of the tank and become easy?
Written by: mcp
I don't think there are any poi moves that can be considered
intermediate or advanced. Yes including contact poi or whip catches.
So my answer is still that all the poi moves are beginner moves.

I don't think you could get a complete newbie and show them a propellor and they'd get it anywhere near as quick as a 3-bt weave (I've never tried mind you...). Other moves are inherantly awkward - compare a 7bt weave to a 3bt - one is much more difficult than the other.
