Jo first came to my attention when she posted on Poi Chat a year and a half ago, a flow video that reminded me so much of my friend Kate McCoy’s style that it was downright eerie. Since then Jo and I have exchanged ideas around plane breaking back and forth via Instagram videos, inspiring each other to find new ways to use horizontal plane moves and integrating dance into both our spinning styles. She’ll be teaching her first ever workshop at DrexFest 2020 and I’m really excited to learn from her!

In Jo’s own words:

I'm a poi spinner from London. After picking up a set 3 years ago and feeling the potential, I haven't been able to put it down. What I want to do now is spread the joy I've gotten from this prop and give back to the inspirational community that took me along this journey.
