| Poi Spinning and dancing with POI helps to increase range of motion, flexibility and strength, improve balance and coordination, it's good for the mind; plus it's Fun! Poi is a form of dance where weights on the ends of tethers are spun in rhythmical patterns. Poi come from the Maori people of New Zealand. The skill began as a way to keep the wrists supple and has evolved into a fiery flow dance infused with sacred geometry.
