The On Line Computer Based Training program offers a comprehensive curriculum for poi dancers of all levels. The information is broken up into small sections that progressively build on each other. Each section has as many as 50 video clips available to describe the move as well as audio instructions. In addition, there is text with links to the relevant movies throughout which guide the student through the learning process.

Each video clip you select is downloaded as you go. Because the lesson plans offer modular videos, you only download what you need rather than wasting time downloading what you don't. Also, after you select all the videos you want, you can disconnect your laptop from the internet and move to a location with more space if that is necessary.

This material has been used to train over 500 (and growing!) poi artists in North America and is modeled after the in person classes offered through the Temple of Poi. Because of our 2+ years of full time training, we are also able to include a section with trouble shooting tips and common problems designed to anticipate common learning challenges students encounter.
