How to do Snakes for Poi: 1-minute tutorial
How to perform snakes, a 1 minute tutorial for poi spinning! Learn the basics of poi dancing and body tracing in a small, bite-sized video that covers the basics of snakes. Got a suggestion for a 1 minute tutorial? Let me know down in the comments!
The first thing to learn is how to do linear isolations: start with the poi turning clockwise over on your left hand side and drop the poi head behind your shoulder before passing your hand over the poi head over to the right hand side. The poi will be pulled out again clockwise.
Allow the poi to perform half a rotation and pop the poi head up behind your back and underneath your armpit as the hand sneaks beneath it over to the left hand side.
Learn this pattern turning both directions and with both hands.
You'll want to perform this in split-time same direction. There's a small trick to getting into snakes in that you wait until the poi heads are pointed up and down and then you bring your hands close together before passing the heads behind each of their native shoulders.
Your hands should pass straight out to the sides, then bring the poi back up and down behind the shoulders to return to center. You can also perform this in split-time opposites
