(Advanced) Intermediate IIIT: Turns (for Poi)

Course Overview

This advanced/advanced intermediate class series focuses on various turning techniques, with an emphasis on wall plane turn combinations. This 4 week series helps artists learn how to own more of the dance floor with various styles of turn transitions. During the series, we will use swivels, half turns (90 degrees), turns (180 degrees) and turn arounds (360 degrees) as well as practicing movement with different turn patterns. The material for the class will be customized depending on the skill level of the students attending. This means each class series will be unique and students will benefit from attending the series more than once because as their skill expands, the complexity of the turn combinations will also expand. Depending on the skill level of the students, we will cover combinations using some of these moves:

• weaves
• 5 beat weaves
• behind the back weaves
• crossers
• hugs
• butterflies
• hip reels
• pinwheels
• buzzsaws
• stalls
• lockouts
• 2 petal flowers
• 4 petal flowers
• sweeps
• antispin flowers with extensions
• giants
• under the leg combinations
• barrel rolls
• jedi stalls

To maximize the value of these classes, class size is small (8 or less) and each student receives individual focus from the instructors. Each of the classes meets for 80 minutes.
