PARTNERPOI POSITIONS

With partner poi we differentiate between two different positions. These vary depending on which hands are linked with one another.

RIGHT HAND to RIGHT HAND
(DIAGONAL-POSITION)

RIGHT HAND to LEFT HAND
(FRONTAL-POSITION)

The four beat weave is slightly trickier in the frontal position and can be a bit of a challenge for the wrists.

PARTNERPOI MODES

Modes are varying arm and shoulder speeds that are suitable for various different sequences.

SPLIT-TIME ARMS (CRAWL-MODE)

In the crawl mode, the arms move in split-time, just like when swimming the crawl. This balanced rhythm makes the crawl mode pleasant to do and is ideal for entering and leaving positions as well as combined steps and turns.

SAME-TIME ARMS (BRACE-MODE)

The brace mode is a bit like breaststroke and is more static than the crawl mode. However, it is perfect for visual moves like pirouettes and flowers.

PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE Cycle

The following cycle, which we also refer to as the machine, involves thread the needle and the three beat weave in two different directions. Concentrate on the stalling arm (in this case the right-hand arm) and don’t despair if the upward thread the needle feels a bit awkward to start with.

PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE

Concentrate on the quarter turn here in order to be able to switch cleanly from the wheel plane in to the wall plane. To help you grasp this transition, it is also possible to have a single player simulate it.

Un-wind arm at Your Side : Move body to the behind of your partner and start 3 beat weave.

Use one of the 2 un-wind arm position. When you un-wind the arms at your partner side, you'll move to 4 beat weave (Crossed weave) position.

WALKTHROUGH and THREE BEAT WEAVE

The walkthrough is one of the most important basic partner poi moves and allows you to enter and leave a wide variety of figures with ease.

You will do "Carry Turn" over through the Partner's body.
Check the lesson of Carry Turn if you haven't watched it yet. 

Once you’ve got the hang of the walkthrough in both directions, it can for example be combined as a two-hand three beat weave.

PARTNER POI THREAD THE NEEDLE

The right rhythm is essential here. The move will only work if both poi are swinging same-time with one another.

Check ou Thread The Needle Lesson for one person if you haven't wathced it yet.

PARTNER POI FOUR BEAT WEAVE

The four beat weave, or crossed weave, is a key partner poi move and opens up countless new possibilities later on. To start off, it is helpful if one of the two players spins the poi behind his or her back, thus making it possible for his or her partner to interlace.

You need the move "REEL" for make it smooth.

Partner Poi Three beat weave

The three beat weave with a partner is the same as for just one player. You might find it helpful to practice the three beat weavealone, to understand how it works.
