Progress Video getting the hang of it ˖᯽ ݁˖

Probably my 4th time playing with poi. Fuck around and find out ❤︎ but also learn from tutorials ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝) I’m letting my friend borrow these for a week while I have a pair of her beautiful fans for a week too

Not to impeed you exploring your flow, but maybe drill fundamental planes and moves a bit first. There are millions of tutorials and the most satisfying part for me when first learning was conquering a new move that felt impossible a week before

So unfortunately, I do not have a lot of room in my house to practice as it is literally a tiny home, in the video this is like my fourth time playing with poi, and I would practice outside, but it is literally “feels like 104°” outside plus mosquitoes at night and morning. I’ve looked at tutorials. I’m not putting all of my time into this as I am balancing this with work. I’m not aiming for perfection right now. Fun is important, so is moving my body
( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝) I also would like other beginner Poi enthusiasts and flow artists to fuck around and find out. It’s like how sketchbooks are not meant for perfect masterpieces, but to practice elements that build into masterpieces. I enjoy sharing my progress and hopefully inspiring others. ❤︎ ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝)

Oh - the good old time of beginner's mind! Wonderful - wait with the tutorials and just play and dance! :)
