Hey gang!
Drex here from DrexFactor.com and I'm here to teach you a brand new poi combo!
Unlike the last time that I did this, I'm only going to cover one combo and it's for
people in the beginning to intermediate range--that is, folks who already know a few tricks and
are trying to figure out how to stitch them together.
For this video you'll only need to know 3 tricks: stalls, windmills, and crossers.
You can find a link to a playlist that includes all these tutorials down in the description
of this video.
Also, this time the piece is actually choreographed to a piece of music--the intro to one of my
favorite songs: "Leave an Open Door" by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
It's only a few seconds long, but I really like the musicality of it!
I'm going to show you the combo at full speed, then teach you how to do it, and finally
show it to you again in slow-mo to help you learn it.
Before we dive in, I just want to take a moment to thank the friends of the channel!
Big thanks to Dark Monk, Spinballs, and Ultra Poi for helping to make the videos on this
channel possible.

Now on with the show!
I'm going to start off by talking about the structure of this combo because it was
very deliberately written to mesh with the music.
My thinking was to perform a stall for each chord of the rhythm guitar and then perform
either a crosser or windmill for the lead guitar lines.
The lead line hits high notes the first and third time and lower notes the second, so
I'm matching that with a windmill up high for the high notes and a crosser down low
for the low notes.
Beyond that, there's some interesting things going on with the stalls in this combo.
Nearly all the stalls are out of split time same direction but I'm performing them in
a bunch of different ways to get more mileage out of them.
The first version of this stall I'm playing with is something from an old Rastaxel video
where after each stall you pull the poi in a pair of loops through your body center before
stalling up and down out to your sides.
The theory here is that you can imagine you've got a pair of 4-petal antispin flowers even
with either of your shoulders and they overlap on their side loops across the center of your
body.
For either side, you're stalling back and forth between the top and bottom petals by
spinning the poi head through that loop that goes across your body center.
You can do this in any timing and direction, but doing it in split time same direction
means that one poi will always end pointing up and one will always end pointing down.
One thing to watch out for: when going through the middle make sure one poi is farther away
from your body than the other so they don't tangle.
The combo starts with 3 of these.
The first with the right poi stalling down, so you can think of it as right down, left
down, right down.
From here I pull the poi out of the stall into a counter-clockwise windmill around my
head.
I count one windmill every time my right hand poi has a downbeat behind my head.
I do two of them during that lead line.
From there I'll stall my right poi up and left poi down.
This is when we change gears and introduce a new variant on the split same stall.
Now I'm stepping out and turning with each stall.
Practice this with just your hands at first: as you sweep your right hand down and around
toward the left, step toward your left side with your right foot.
This kind of motion is called homolateral because we're moving the two limbs on the
same side of our body together.
The left hand goes up and over to stall down on the other side of you as the right hand
goes down and around.
It's going to be tempting to try and initiate this movement from your arms, but you're
going to get much better results if it initiates from your body core.
Imagine that it's really your torso that's turning and it's bringing both your hand
and leg along for the ride.
Last week I did a video on initiating movement from different parts of the body--I'll go
ahead and link to that in the description so you can check it out for yourselves.
We do two of these turning stalls and they're both exactly the same: Right hand goes down
and it's the right foot that steps out.
You just pivot on the left foot.
Once you're back facing front again, you pull the poi around into a clockwise crosser.
Right goes down and under, left goes up and over to wind up behind your back on the first
beat.
Add some under curve and over curve action in here because why not?
Now to exit this crosser, we're going to do that same turning stall we did before but
in the opposite direction.
We step back with the right foot and that allows us to stall the right hand poi up as
we face away from the audience.
This also allows us to uncross our arms.
We step around with the right, stalling right poi up and left poi down to face the audience
again, and perform one of those split same stalls through our center.
Pull from the split same stalls into two counterclockwise windmills during the lead guitar lick and
then stall up with the right poi, down with the left.
Here comes the end of the combo.
We're going to sweep that right hand poi all the way around past the left hand and
back to the right side so it's now pointed down.
Our next step is to sweep both hands up past our ears as we step out and turn to the left,
winding up with our poi stalled down.
Again, it might be helpful to first practice this without poi in your hands, starting from
arms splayed out and reaching them both up toward your ears.
At this point, your body should have turned about 90 degrees to your left.
As you drop your hands back down to the sides, complete the turn to face away from your audience.
Try doing this a few times with just your arms before adding the poi back into the equation.
Finally, once you've completed that stall, do a quick shoulder check with your head to
finish it.
So, the whole combo is: stall right down, left down, right down.
Two windmills.
Stall up right, turn left, turn left again, crosser.
Step back to stall, forward to stall.
Stall right down.
Two windmills.
Stall up right, sweep right around.
Sweep up and over, and shoulder check.
Now here's the combo again in slow-mo.
Awesome--now let me see your version of this combo!
