Lessons for Beginning Poi artists

For beginning poi artists, we will focus on fundamental movement principles as well as ensuring the artist has the basic moves in all directions. Then we'll work on how to transition between same and split direction movements as well as flowing between moves. Anyone signing up for the beginner poi session can gain access to our Beginner Moves Computer Based Training program at a discount from the regular price of $90 to $15.

Lessons for Intermediate/Advanced/Performance Poi artists

For intermediate, advanced and perfromance Poi artists: Not only we will focus on honing skills (wall plane, multibeat, behind the back, polyrhythmic, split direction, etc.) we will work with combinations of moves and the flow between them. We'll spend lots of time on turning so you'll have more freedom of motion because really, what good does it do you to have a move that you can't string together with other moves while traversing the dance floor? We will introduce some of our poi theory that explains how to understand more fully how to connect moves together and then we'll introduce some slick transitions (stalls, wraps, etc.) and some combos of moves you can use (and reuse like moves themselves) in your performances to add flair and fun to your poi play and performance time.

Tools

Poi will be available for sale in a variety of styles from practice to performance poi ranging in price from $25 - $70.

Poi sessions will be taught by Isa "GlitterGirl" Isaacs, founder of Temple of Poi, the premier poi school in the world.

Testimonials

"Poi has changed my life.  For me, poi is more than fire dancing, it is a way of life.  Poi is meditation, mindfulness, dance, discovery, play, art, mandalas, exercise, expression, body-mind-spirit connection, and love.  I feel awake in my body and alive while I dance and play.  Poi is a tool that is helping me bring power into my life.  Poi is a way for me to focus on the divinity and love within us all and now I have a way to share that love with the world."
~M. Weinberg; December 2007

"I'm mostly self-taught, and I've found the few lessons I've had with Isa to really take my skills up several notches very quickly ... testament to her skills as a teacher and performer."
~ W. Chase; May, 2004
