User:Mchua/Poi
From Wikiversity
I started learning poi one evening when one of my apartment-mates grabbed some long socks and tennis balls and coached me in the living room for about an hour. It was fun and satisfied my inner physical mathematician in a way that didn't send me scrambling for balls every few seconds (which is what happens when I juggle). I've spun 4 times since, borrowing equipment from friends each time; I've got the hang of the figure-8, butterfly, 3-beat weave, and all of the above while turning. Making a resource list in case I decide to learn more; this might be my passionate pursuit for the summer.
- The Scales Of Poi - "advanced beginner" DVD. I would want to get this along with a first set of glow poi, most likely.
- Rainbow poi - my friends who spin have recommended this set to me.
