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. The practice combines elements of dance, coordination, and creativity, allowing performers to express themselves through movement. Participants often learn different techniques and tricks, such as spins, throws, and wraps, to create visually captivating displays. Poi spinning can be practiced solo or in groups, making it a popular activity at festivals and gatherings. It promotes physical fitness, focus, and artistic expression.
