Collection: HALF CIRCLE FLAG POI
Half-circle flag poi made of silk is a type of poi prop that combines the qualities of both flag poi and silk’s elegant, flowing motion, with a unique half-circle shape. These poi feature semi-circular pieces of silk fabric attached to the handles, creating a rounded, fan-like effect as they spin. The half-circle design allows for smoother transitions and a softer, more circular aesthetic than traditional rectangular flags.
Small size is beginner friendly.
Big sizes are recomended only for performance artists.
Key Features of Half-Circle Silk Flag Poi
-
Half-Circle Shape: Instead of a rectangular or square flag, these poi have a semi-circular (half-moon) shape. This rounded design allows the silk to flow in a circular pattern that closely matches the motion of the poi, creating a cohesive, flowing appearance.
-
Silk Fabric: Made from lightweight silk or silk-like material, the fabric catches the air beautifully and moves gracefully. Silk’s natural shimmer enhances the visual effect, adding a delicate, almost ethereal quality to the performance.
-
Soft Edges and Gentle Flow: Because there are no hard edges on a half-circle, the fabric flows smoothly with each spin, offering a softer, more organic movement style. Unlike rectangular flags with defined corners, the half-circle flag is less likely to tangle or “snap” during spins.
-
Natural “Petal” Effect: When spun, the half-circle design often resembles petals or a fan, creating a soft, blooming effect with each rotation. This adds an extra layer of visual appeal, especially in routines focused on gentle, sweeping motions.
-
Versatile for Different Moves: The half-circle flag poi is ideal for both fast and slow movements, allowing for an expressive range of spins, waves, and wraps. It works well in dance-oriented flow arts, where performers can emphasize the poi's graceful, rounded motion.
Visual Impact
Half-circle silk flag poi is particularly striking because the rounded silk design creates continuous, fluid patterns in the air. As the silk glides and fans out, it forms gentle arcs and circular trails, making it ideal for creating hypnotic, mesmerizing visuals. The soft, flowing silk in half-circle form gives performances an elegant, graceful feel that works beautifully for both outdoor and indoor performances.
In summary, half-circle silk flag poi combines the structure of flag poi with the elegance of silk, resulting in a graceful, flowing prop perfect for expressive, circular motions and visually captivating routines.
