Dancers move weights leashed to each hand to create breathtaking geometric figures that seem to defy the laws of gravity and momentum while creating gorgeous and intricate movements that wow and enrich audiences.

Poi with Drex will teach you the basic elements of these movements and how to bring them together into new and exciting ideas that will impress family and friends while helping you develop the link between mind and body.
