Learn how to choreograph your own poi dance without music! It's common when we write choreography to use music as a bit of a crutch. We like being on counts but using this technique to choreograph can also feel mechanical and stale--plus it takes a long time to choreograph! When we learn how to choreograph a dance without music, we can make that choreography feel much more organic and open to reinterpretation. I've already done one video on how to write choreography or how to choreograph a dance with your poi, but wanted to explore in some diversity additional ways of how to create choreography or how to write choreography. Choreographing without music is one of the most under-utilized methods for writing poi dance and dance in general. Try out these methods with your poi dance choreography and let me know if they open as many doors for you as they did for me! New to poi?
