Poi Spinning Lesson 2 in 1s

Drill 2 in 1s spinning to build left–right differentiation and independent timing between your poi. You’ll practise keeping one poi on a steady fast circle while the other slows into a single large circle, avoiding the common mistake of matching speeds by shrinking the fast poi’s circle.

Nick Woolsey suggests starting with one poi constant and using the other in a pendulum-style circle to feel the contrast, then refining towards clear ratios in both directions and in reverse. This control expands your options for speed changes, texture, and performance contrast.
