Martial Poi Workshop by Dan Cox

In this workshop, we’ll explore how martial arts-inspired movement can change the way we flow with poi. We’ll start with a few poi pathways, practising them slowly so everyone can get comfortable with the movements.

From there, we’ll add stances, footwork and turns. We’ll look at how the same poi pattern can feel completely different when you move your whole body with it, and how timing and intention can make it look more powerful.

Towards the end of the class, we’ll connect the movements into a short flow. There’ll be time to practise, ask questions and play with your own variations, so you can take what you’ve learnt into your own style.
