Your First Poi Spinning Combo! (Choreography Tutorial)

We wrap up our first week of #quarantinecontent with this beginner poi combo that brings everything we've learned this week together! It's one thing to learn the poi tricks and another to combine them together into poi choreography--this will start to teach you things like repetition control as well as how to flow between tricks smoothly.

Lastly--I'm gonna take a break tomorrow and let myself breathe. When I come back do you want me to keep up with these daily tutorials? Have they been helping you learn? Keep calm? Is this a project that you'd like to see continue? Let me know down in the comments!

Here are the tutorials for the tricks you'll need:

I've watched your old tutorials and have been spinning for a while myself, but seeing you go through the basics again made me kinda realise that I need to really work on the fundamentals in order to clean up what I've been doing. Seeing you run through the basics again in a different light is definitely helping, so thanks for doing these videos.

I would totally appreciate you continuing tutorials, even though you've probably said what feels like the same thing to you about a million times, hearing it explained again helps me learn and apply it to more advanced tricks.

Love that you teach small tricks and in a slow / gradual manner. On a surf trip in Peru and using my spare time to learn this stuff. Nothing quite like spinning on the beach!

[preppysuperstar]

its been really cool watching you teach all these tricks again and remembering where i was, not even 6 months ago (started september 27.. yes i marked the date in my calendar)

Also i had a super amazing moment tonight. Ive been doing a sidewalk spin every night at dusk just outside my place. Tonight across the street in the apartments someone was singing and playing guitar. I dont even know if he knew i was down there spinning to his music but those walking by did (And those listening/watching from their balconys) It was a really cool moment of connection.

And im so glad i have my poi with me, since im not actually at home with all my creative outlets. All i have are my poi and music so i would love if this continued.

As someone who got their first poi last week, the timing of this mini series couldnt be better! I am very excited to go back and learn this combo 💃🙌

[chrismartin-utlz]

Drex u are loved . U are my fav tutorials on poi !!! Much love

[allisonrodriguezdiaz]

Yes, please continue to post. This practice it’s relaxing, I really forget everything while I do your tutorials. Gracias.

[Elderado]

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you, my friend donated a set of poi to me last week and I have been trying to learn, these combos are still way above my skill level but I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and technique!

[MyLadyAbsinthe]

thanks for all these vids, they have def been helping with something to focus on during lockdown.

[erkadoof]

I'm still practicing the reel turns and feeling the momentum. Was kinda gutted that I wasn't ready to take another challenge on... Then watched this video and now I'm so excited that in a few days time I'll be doing my first combo moves!! Cool!! I love how we are seeing bits of your area we wouldn't normally...

[kristydolan]

A bit late to the game but it's been fun, and frustrating, trying to spin! But incredibly rewarding. Excited to keep practising this today and hopefully be able to move on to the next one tomorrow ❤️

[lucianasilva]

I am personally really into these videos! I got into poi in the summer but stopped because life. Your videos that start from scratch are encouraging me to pick it up again and my gf to start learning (just in the time be ready for festival season) 🥳🥳 would love to see them keep coming but definitely take care of yourself first if daily videos is too much work!!

[ryanbogan]

started spinning roughly a month ago been binging all your tutorials you have helped me learn so much so far so much useful information I am hoping to see you post a lot more tutorials and learning more

[Laidukey]

This video series has been awesome. Just picked up poi and these tutorials have been super simple and detailed and in a day I was able to do the combo! Great work!

[jgjgjgjg]

Loving this. THanks so much. Following along. Not quite pulled into a patreon ... yer, but hugely grateful, big mugging smile on my face. Thanks

[anthonymaurer]

Loving all your beginner videos I just started a week ago but I've made a ton of progress in a short time. Mostly just learning the ingredients of this combo. I've got to practice more to get this down but I'm excited to keep going. And keep up these videos they are so well done and are easy to understand

[jasperk]

Hey! I've had a set of poi for over a year, but never had the time or patience to really pick them up. This video series is EXACTLY what I need to stay safe this quarantine!! Its crazy, I went from feeling awkward and frustrated with poi to being able to follow along with this choreo!! I'm totally hooked, and this is gonna be what I'm doing with a lot of my quarantine. I'm so happy to see you've continued this series, I really cant thank you enough! Your friendly teaching spirit really comes through in these videos, and it makes it a lot easier to keep going, even when I've hit myself in the face 5 times in a row 😂😂

[tweedyyyyy]

This is a great tutorial. Thank you Drex.

[mudkipp]

I started spinning about a week ago, and your videos have been amazing! Thank you for all that you are doing and have done for the poi community!

[bomdand]

I'm really enjoying your videos. I used to spin when I was in college, and I thought I was really good (it looked good at least) but I'm discovering now there's a lot I didn't know and couldn't even imagine it was possible.
I'm not doing one different video every day because I can't give more than an hour practice a day, and I'm a slow learner, but it's been great!
Thanks a lot!

[mickandnenewatkins]

Thanks Drex, these tutorials have been awesome! Love your enthusiasm for this art and making it available for everyone to enjoy.
