Poi Lesson 12: Direction Changing - Basic Stalls

Direction Changing - Basic Stalls

Lesson Type: Beginners

Prerequisites: Basic same-direction and butterfly spinning.

In this video I'll show you how to do basic stalls. They're primarily used as a direction change between same-direction and butterfly, but can certainly be used as moves within themselves. There are more advanced stalls that can look brilliant if conducted properly, but I'll give a lesson on that later.

If you're having trouble with these, please post a video response and I'll help you out.

Enjoy,

Nathaniel Everist

the first stall you show us isn't that like a mini isolation?

[NathanielEverist]

Yeah, stalls and isolations are very similar motions, I'll make a video soon to demonstrate why, because it's too hard to describe in words.

i love the way you speak... not your accent but how you just add funny things like "move them smooth and flowing.. and looking sexy while your twirling!"

[NathanielEverist]

Thank you, looking sexy is the most important part of twirling, most people won't tell you that, but trust me, it's the key aspect to spinning, all the best know this, and I'm just letting people in on the secret ;)

[polderwyn]
