Body Tracing vs. Antistpins: Triquotra vs. Neck Isolation

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 11:28:24 +0000

One of my favorite ways of combining an antispin with this neck isolation. This is certainly not an easy one – pay attention to what’s happening at the bottom of the antispin. Mind that the hands are in Air mode, poi in Water.

Body Tracing vs. Antispins – 3 beat Antispin Body Tracer

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 11:26:46 +0000

I discovered this poi move years ago and it is one of my favorite body tracers. It’s a great example of how weaves and antispins can be combined in one movement. As in this case, the 4-petal flower and 3-beat side crossing are merged into one move.

I believe this move would deserve its own original name! So how should we call it, any ideas? Write it in the comments!

In this fountain, the arms are in Earth and the poi in Water.

The Twisted Pirouette (Body Tracing)

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 07:06:16 +0000

This is one of my favorite turns and sort of my signature move. This twisted pirouette – and the more simple version, are both such graceful way to use poi with respect to your body and add an element of dance into your spinning. Enjoy this tutorial – the first one shot from the series, back in the day when the pandemic started I got stuck in Bali.

2-beats around the body, Symmetrical / Turning Patterns, Neck-Isolated Beats and more, from Stromboli

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 06:35:15 +0000

This is a recap from Stromboli Poi Retreat, which talks about a concept that I consider super important. I’ll be getting back to this in future tutorials. The 2-beat concept, which, by adding 180 turns, evolves into a symmetrical move, which can be done with any move in any element, allows you to move with any move and helps you to learn each move in both directions more creatively. I encourage you to try this with any move you enjoy! Here’s a video that has a ton of variations with this concept!

Also, we talk about how each above-the-shoulder reel can be done in neck isolation and a few words about how each thing can be anti-spinned.. Which I will get back into also

You can find all the info here if you’re curious about the Stromboli Poi Retreat.
