**Trailer can be seen on YouTube**Originally performed by the Maori in New Zealand, poi and fire dancing are now seen at festivals, raves, concerts and nightclubs around the world. Whether you are performing on a big stage or simply dancing for yourself, poi will add a hypnotic and colorful dynamic. This DVD is a comprehensive introduction to poi. Because it was filmed in front of mirrors in a dance studio, you can see each move in its entirety from both the front and the back. Each trick is broken down in easy-to-understand segments, and slow motion video takes the mystery out of the moves. You will learn poi dance combinations that range from simple to advanced and will be introduced to belly dance veil poi. Belly dance veil poi was invented by Dana Beaufait and is performed widely by the Bellydance Superstars and Aziza. The veil poi segment of this DVD demonstrates how the poi moves can be incorporated with silk veils. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

I liked this DVD. The instructor shows a decent inventory of poi moves for beginners. Each move is demonstrated while narrated, and shown from different angles and different speed so that the viewer can better process each new technique/move. There is a small intro about poi and the different kinds of poi, plus two veil poi performances for inspiration.
Great Video for Beginners September 20, 2008

This video teaches the basic moves you need to get you started learning poi. It was easy to follow and very clearly presented. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who would like to start learning the art of poi.
 Poi and Veil Poi May 1, 2008
Deborah Kananghinis (Melbourne, Australia)
Just when you thought that spinning was a cycle on your washing machine, a gym session or turning wool into yarn, and just possibly what politician PR departments are capable of, there is now Poi Spinning, or Veil Poi Spinning. I found this DVD to be of Michelle Joyce's usual excellent standard of presentation, and although known for her bellydance instructional products, this particular DVD would be beneficial to those interested in circus or theatrical performance; dance; or just looking for a different work out video; or just looking for a fun family activity - however, because poi requires a large space to move, you would want to be careful as to where you practice the poi while viewing the instructions - don't do it under your best crystal chandelier! As the presenter is in front of a studio mirror, you see all angles, plus the slow motion repeats, close-ups and practice drills are excellent, clear and concise, the only difficulty I had with this DVD, is that Ms Joyce chose to present the veil poi section with the veils the same colour palette as the drapes on either side of the mirror, giving the impression that she is twirling the curtains, thereby making this section a little difficult to view in real time. If you are looking for veil poi instructional DVD/videos, I would suggest that the viewer also purchase other veil poi DVDs Voi (Veil & Poi): Fireless Spinning for Belly Dancers as well to view concurrently with this product, as Michelle Joyce's Poi Spinning for Beginners DVD is more a Poi instructional DVD rather than emphasis on the veil poi, with this particular section being for a more advanced student with some experience with silk veil or some beginner veil poi (voi) lessons.
Perfect for the beginner poi and voi spinner. February 19, 2008

I really learned a lot from this DVD. Michelle breaks down basic poi moves then shows how to use them with silk veils. Very clear and easy to follow. If you are looking to add a new prop to your bellydancing, this is a great one.
