"Poi"
literally means ball on a cord and originates
with the Maori tribe of New

art to increase dexterity, coordination, flexibility,
and strength for thousands of years. This class

the prior one. You'll learn over 30 different
moves in forward and backwards, in split-time
and parallel time including: Earth,
Love, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Advanced Dragonfly,
the Wave, Flirt, Chasing the Sun,
Sun and the Forward and Backward Weave. You'll
also learn how to link them all together with
two classes of combinations and transitions. When

foundation in the art of poi spinning. You'll
feel
comfortable enough to add in your own dance style.
You'll also have a strong
knowledge on fire safety, including hands-on experience.
The series ends with a special "lighting-up ceremony"
where in a very safe setting, each individual
will
have the opportunity to explore dancing with fire.
