Compound Circles

Compound circles, flowers and anti-spin

Compound circles (flower patterns and fountains):

A multi-beat separation in which the poi make smaller circles within a larger circle. Poi continue to spin around the hands while arms move in extensions; smaller center of rotation (at hand) moves around a larger center of rotation (at shoulder).

Anti-spin

Poi spin in the opposite direction that the arms are spinning. Ie; the poi spin clockwise while your arm spins counter-clockwise.
