Learn partner poi with this partner poi tutorial on fold outs! Partner poi fold outs are partner poi tricks that are a great addition to partner poi weaves. Learn how to do partner poi from this and the other great videos in this partner poi series!
Big thanks to my friend Riki Khalfani for helping me to demonstrate this trick! You can find him on Instagram at http://instagram.com/technohm
In this video we are both using Umoja poi from Lanternsmith. Pick up a pair at http://lanternsmith.com?aff=2 and use my promo code “drexfact0r” to get a discount on your order!
Start by having one partner spinning both poi in wheel plane forward in together same as the other partner does the same in reverse. Walk in toward each other and stall around each other’s shoulders: the forward spinner stalls down while the reverse spinner stalls up.
Now switch which person is spinning in which direction and have them do the opposite stall around their partner’s shoulders. They should be able to stall straight back and forth over and under their partner’s shoulders.
Add footwork to this by walking in toward each other, stalling, and walking back out. Each partner should walk in a “v” shaped pattern, stalling at the angle of the “v” and walking back out to either side. The arms and poi are doing exactly the same thing (stalling over and under) that they did in the last exercise.
Try doing 3 beats in between each stall, then working your way down to 2 beats in between each stall, then 1 beat and finally no beats. At this point, each partner should be twisting their upper body back and forth in that same “v” shape but going straight back and forth between the stalls.
You can also try this with one partner faced away from the other partner–the one in front will be performing tuck turns around the other partner!
