Welcome to the all new Dance Forum.....
Welcome one and all to the new sphercular dance forum.
Many times have i been accused of being too much of a geeky tech poi spinner, but no more. I'm hoping to learn a great deal in this forum about how to dance more beautifully. How to present a performance. Tell a story through movement and all those other great things.
If you have experience with other forms of dance, like swing or break or ballet or whatever then i'd love for you to tell us about what you know.
Perhaps tell us the similarities you find between different dance forms. How learning swing has helped your poi style, or vise versa.
I'm really looking forward to this new forum. It's was poikids ide and she is officially in charge.

Welcome to the all new Dance Forum.....
very nice idea... :22
ever since i first learned to spin with drums on the beach i've preffered to do it to drums or music. while you can have fun working on moves, it's when they come together and apply movement that you develop your style and music can play a strong part in the influence...
i've never had any proper dance lessons and don't nessecarily dance properly all the time when i'm spinning to music but it is fun to adjust your movement to rythm (poi is traditionally a rhythm based activity). i love the free form aspect of it though, a friend recently remarked that poi and staff can ofetn look like they have forms similar to taichi and other martial arts except you're left to develop and explore these forms freely as you spin... combine tat with the music and you're looking at freeform dance...
but i'm just saying what everyone who spins already knows aren't i?
i'd definately be interseted to hear what someone who actually dances properly thinks!

Welcome to the all new Dance Forum.....
I am so glad you took the idea Matt, and I am very pleased I could do something to help out here. You no doubt have recieved my private message by now, I hope there will be no hard feelings. When I can, I will be here, but please understand.. I have to sort things out in my own life right now, and any spare time simply cannot be spent here..
I will do what I can, when I can, but I cannot be in charge of it right now.

Yay for dance - I've been working on popping/waving whilst poi-ing... quite tricky unless you do lots of pendulums.
Gliding with poi is fun too - anti-spun flowers with moonwalks anyone?
