Poi Spinning Turns: Body Movements

Just like I talked about when I was saying to emphasize the down beat and the up beat in order to make your movement more interesting you can also emphasize how to use your body with your poi. It is much more interesting to watch someone and much more fun to spin when you are using your whole body instead of just mechanically moving. So play a little bit and find ways that you can move your whole body while spinning and not just your arms. It can be motions that you do with your head. It can be bending your legs. It can be moving the rest of your body while you are spinning. This can be a very fun way to add character and expression to your poi dancing.
