This poi dance tutorial covers levels in dance and their benefit in how to integrate dance and poi. If you want to know how to dance with poi, this poi dancing tutorial covers the concept of dance levels--the idea of raising and lowering the body to create a more visually dynamic performance. In this video I'm 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! Whether adding plies and groundwork to your poi dance or poi jumps, leaps, and flips, level changes add a new level of interest to your performances by using the stage and negative space around you as a canvas for you to paint with your movement. These techniques can be used for any style of flow arts dance to improve dynamics for your audience! New to poi?
