This four week series focuses on utilizing the moves taught in the Beginner Poi class, offer students instruction on how to combine them and transition smoothly from one move to another, while adding dance elements to make the performance more interesting and personalized to each performer. This class also helps students through their stage fright by allowing them a safe place to perform -- in front of other students learning with them.

Prerequisites: Students must have a working knowledge of poi and have either taken the Beginner Poi Class or performed the relevant moves competently for one of the certified Temple of Poi instructors. Course Overview: Each of the classes meets for 80 minutes, one time per week. Each class is divided into the following class structure: 25 min: warm ups, practice, performance, drills, review 50 min: new move clinic, individual work, drills, practice 5 min: homework assignments, review, cool down The first class focuses on same direction transitions, the second class on opposing direction transitions, while the third and final class focus on putting the moves together and improving any weak spots the students may still be experiencing. More advanced students will also learn new moves as time permits. Is this class right for me? Click here to find out.
