The Poi Master Series ~ Part 3

Part 3: Integration, Transitions, and Creative Expression

This is where your flow truly begins to shine. You’ll take everything you’ve learned so far and start combining it into seamless movement. This part is all about transitions, rhythm, creative control, and freedom. Expect to be challenged — but also to feel like everything is coming together.

• Week / Phase 9: Mastering the Core Families of Movement

  This week solidifies your understanding of the core poi patterns: same-time, split-time, opposites, and horizontal spinning. You'll link together reels, weaves, butterflies, fountains, corkscrews, and buzzsaws — all while refining rhythm, direction, and turning. This is your movement integration checkpoint.

• Week / Phase 10: Seamless Transitions and Free Movement

  You’ll explore how to connect different poi modes using concepts like "playing along the tracks" and using neutral positions. Techniques like wrapping, buzzsaw turning, and whirling are introduced alongside creative sequencing. Expect to start spinning in all directions with confidence.

• Week / Phase 11: Structure Meets Creativity

  This week deepens your ability to combine patterns, transition between weaves and butterflies, and explore creative movement pathways. You’ll train left-right independence, discover mirrored progressions, and develop freedom with both same-time and split-time styles. You're learning to write full sentences with your spinning.

• Week / Phase 12: Dance, Expression, and Poi as Art

  In this final phase, you’ll focus on musicality, improvisation, and fluid transitions. You'll revisit all your techniques through the lens of expression — dancing freely, playing with planes, and building flow from intuition. By the end, you’ll be ready to go beyond the basics and develop your own signature style.

By the end of Part 3, you’ll no longer be "doing poi moves" — you’ll be dancing poi. You’ll understand your personal strengths, recognize your growing edges, and feel confident exploring new directions on your own. This is the launchpad to true mastery. You’ve come a long way — now it’s time to fly.
