Watch out, Boston! I'm going to be dropping some hardcore techage to heat up the winter chill!

I'll be rocking out on Sunday, January 22 teaching 2 tech classes for poi spinners intermediate level and up. The great thing about these classes is that they dovetail each other wonderfully and the concepts in them link up in a plethora of fun and creative ways! Details are below.

Horizontal Stacks for Poi: 12:00-2:00 PM

Pendulums, antispins, extensions, oh my! Take any move you know and love and use only half of it, mix with quarter-time stalls and floats, and bake till you get your hands and poi heads to line up in any number of creative ways. Stacks are versatile and fun! Come learn a few of them and see how they can be integrated into other tech.

Skills learned:

• Inspin, Antispin, and Extension stacks
• Hybrid stacks
• Stack classification
• Compound stacks

Poi Hybrids: 2:30-4:30 PM

From the unit circle to polyrhythms, hybrids are what happen when our hands perform different poi moves simultaneously. Here we will examine these concepts, as well as how they can be integrated with flowers and horizontal stacks into what I've been calling "hybrid families." Hybrid families are a crucial concept as they take the uber-techy and make it flow-able. Now you can take all those crazy hybrids you've learned and bring them together in a way that will amaze your audience!

Skills learned:

• Unit circle hybrids (isolation vs extension, cateye vs extension)
• Polyrhythm hybrids (triquetra vs extension, triquetra vs pendulum)
• Hybrid families

Come to learn and share! :)
