Behind the Back Weave
Perform the weave pattern while keeping your arms behind your back.
Butterfly
Move the poi in opposite directions in a synchronized manner in front of you, with both poi swinging parallel to each other.
Split-time Butterfly
Perform the butterfly with the poi spinning in opposite directions, but with a time delay so that they are not synchronized.
Thread the Needle
As you perform a butterfly, weave one hand over the other, alternating which hand is on top.
Shoulder Reels
Spin the poi in a wheel motion by your shoulders, one poi in front and the other behind.
Lockouts
Create a static shape with the poi and your arms extended, then momentarily lock them into a position before continuing spinning.
Orbitals
Cause the poi to spin tightly around each other, creating a single revolving object.
Hybrids
Spin the two poi in different timings or directions, combining elements from different moves.
Three Beat Weave
Perform a figure-eight motion with an additional circle added in each time your hand crosses your body.
Pendulum
Swing the poi back and forth in a semi-circular arc in front of you, like a pendulum.
Isolations
Spin the poi such that the center of rotation is in the middle of the poi tether, making the handle orbit around the poi head.
Corkscrew
Spin the poi in split-time, moving them in circles parallel to the ground, one above the head and one below.
Two Beat Weave
Cross your arms and alternate the poi in a figure-eight motion across your body.
Stalls
Change the direction of the poi by stopping its motion momentarily and then moving it in the reverse direction.
Fountain
Combine the windmill at the top with the weave at the bottom in a continuous, fluid motion.
Buzzsaw
Spin the poi inwards in front of you so the poi come close to your body, moving them up and down vertically.
Hip Reels
Spin the poi at your sides in a wheel motion, as if drawing circles next to your hips.
Dragon Rolls
Roll the poi tethers across the length of your arms and body, transferring the momentum as they unroll.
Windmill
Spin the poi in a forward motion over and behind your head in a circular path, alternating hands.
Tangle Patterns
Intertwine the poi tethers to create various shapes and designs, then untangle smoothly.
