#3 Forward Swing Now with the help of some animations (made from "The Art of Poi" Video) I will explain the beginner's correct way to swing the Poi. This will hopefully stop the crossovers and tangles
Put the Poi in your hands and start swinging them in the direction shown. Take note how she swings the Poi with the palms of her hands only facing down and forwards.
If you swing with your palms facing each other the Poi will come in together and cross or tangle. So always keep you palms facing down and forward. Pretend to push air away from you as the Poi pass over your head.
