Do you know what is Poi Veils?

Veil poi is a new prop in belly dance shows. It appeared as a fusion of styles. 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 colourful dynamic.

"It definitely will help you to improve your own show and make it more captivating.  I started to use it after having experience dancing with fire and glow poi." Said Alexis. The most fantastic is that once you learn poi veils then you can also perform and create choreographies with glow poi, that is a boll with LED inside and when you spin it create lights design on the air around you. You also can dance with pixels poi, that is also LED poi in form of a baton however you program on the computer what to write on the air. You can even write the bride's name or the name of your company. A part from LED poi you can also dance with flag, ribon, spiral, veils poi.

Last week we had a girls night out and Alexis, our lovely HADASSAH Stars teacher performed as surprise with pixels poi. That was absolutely amazing! The combination of the song and the patterns she could draw in the air was absolutely amazing. Everyone was watching so surprise as me. Have a look at our Night Out video. You will see the even in a minuscule restaurant with limited space she could dance and make the audience paralyzed. The only word we could hear was: OMG!!!






The fantastic news is that to all belly dancers in the UK, Alexis will teach us to belly dance with poi veils on the 20th November. How exciting is that? She is one of the pioneers in the UK and have circus background which make her even more special. In the workshop you will learn the technique to use all kind of poi. In the workshop we are going to use Spiral Poi, afterwards you can dance with flag, spiral, veils poi, as mentioned before.
The bad news :-( is that we have only 2 places left due to the fantastic repercussion. So have a look below and grab your poi workshop opportunity!
