ah jump rope... my mortal enemy. Not really, jumpr rope's cool. Hoola hoops are the nemesis though. Nice tutorial guys.

@Jitt3rs I live closer to Tampa, in the New Port Richey area to be exact. I wish I could find someone near me willing to teach,any suggestions?

[Jitt3rs]

@jeanettesboutique hmmm to teach in tampa? i live in tampa by usf! love st pete. but im not sure there is anyplace i learned from like friends but my honest opinion is to go to like liquidemotions and get the glow poi and teach yourself have someone videotape or set up a camera what you do so you can see your weak and strong points. i know all you wana do is light up and spin but it takes lots of patience. and when you do its worth every second seriously dont give up !

Useful video. Good job.

Your absolutely right, thank you for your advice and well take that into consideration when making more videos

You guys would do better if you were a bit less scripted. It's obvious that you aren't totally comfortable in front of the camera. Ditch the cue cards, and talk to the audience like you're teaching your (mildly challenged (let's face it...Youtube is the lowest common denominator)) friend how to learn poi.
