Not only is Marilyn a fantastic poi dancer — a true inspiration to watch! — but she is a skilled teacher as well. She provided a thorough foundation of poi in a very accessible way, and she shaped her lessons in such a way that they conformed to the way my husband and I learn best. She is extremely motivational during lessons, and if you can’t get a certain technique to work one way, she keeps explaining it in other ways until you’re sure to get it. I loved the series as a whole, and I look forward to taking more classes with Marilyn. I highly recommend her instruction — it is well worth it for anyone interested in poi! In fact, I recommend the series to anybody who wants a brain workout; I actually feel more cognitively sharp from practicing the various elements of poi.
