Poi spinning is a performance art that involves swinging weighted objects, known as poi, in rhythmic patterns around the body. Originating from the Māori people of New Zealand, poi can be made from various materials, including fabric, rubber, or LED lights, and are often used in dance and storytelling. Practicing poi spinning helps improve coordination, flexibility, and timing. It can be enjoyed solo or in groups, often accompanied by music. Many enthusiasts participate in workshops and festivals, sharing techniques and creative routines, making it a popular activity in the flow arts community.
