Greetings fellow poi enthusiasts,

Now that spring is upon us and the sun is shining into the evening, we are moving our poi class outside. So rather then Mondays at the Vets Hall, class will now be Tuesdays at the San Lorenzo Park (along the river between Water, Ocean, Soquel, and Front). If this is a bad time for you, private and small group classes are also available by request. We are also slightly flexible on the time for this class, so please send comments by email ASAP.

So starting next week, April 8, class information is as follows:

Day: Tuesdays
Time: 6:30 pm- 8:00 pm
Location: San Lorenzo Park (in the field below the bridge)
Price: $12/class, drop-in only (trades are possible if requested)

As before, the class will be open to all levels, whether you are an absolute beginner, advanced spinner, or anyone in between.

Some of the things we will focus on are:
- Foundational moves and their variations.
- Short choreographies where we will practice using transitions and combinations of moves.
- Ways of traveling across a space with our poi in motion.
- Mechanics and aesthetics of poi spinning.
- Incorporating poi skills with movement and dance.

Now that we are outside, there may be opportunities to light up at the end of class for those who wish to and feel they are ready. We will have to figure out the rules and regulations of the park before we do this.

We are also open to requests and suggestions about location and class content
