Worthing Poi Passion School - Beginners and Intermediate - 8 Week Course
Poi Passion Beginners and Intermediate is now in its eighth year ... and poi spinning continues to become more and more popular as a great way to exercise and learn mind/body concentration and co-ordination, as well as giving you a sense of freedom within the dance of poi flow.
At first poi can be a little frustrating, yet great fun to learn ... 'not knowing what you are doing with your hands' etc. Poi may look easy, but you will soon discover that this is a complicated art form which will challenge your whole mind and body. Learning poi can even take you through different emotions: laughter, pain, happiness, disappointment etc ...
... and that's why Poi Passion is here ...
Beginners
We want to help you through the basic moves, breaking each down so you have a good understanding of what both hands are doing whilst getting to know your poi and understanding the flow.
Intermediates
This course teaches some of the more complex moves in poi, combining all moves together, learning different beats, speeds and combinations turns and lock-outs. The Poi Passion teacher will talk and poi you through the many different move combinations and support and demonstrate each so you understand them thoroughly ...

Over the eight weeks we will cover a number of moves, gradually linking them together. You will be assigned a certain amount of homework - as you cannot learn poi in eight hours - so you will need to make time to practice.
The course will prove to be eight weeks of pleasurable discipline and students will become Graduate Poi Spinners by the end. You will then meet other poi spinners and get invited to poi events in the UK!
Here are some of the moves covered on the course:
- 'Butterfly' forward / backward
- 'Angel' and 'Bird' split poi movements
- 'Weave' forward and backward
- 'Corkscrew' forward and backward
- 'Helicopter' forward and backward
- 'Giant Windmills' forward and backward
- 'Wall Plan' turns forward and backward
- Putting moves together
- 'Water Fountain' combinations
- Lock outs
