Buried 0 #1 March 23, 2005 Hooked up with a few friends last week in FL and it turns out that one of my friends picked up fire poi a few years ago. so we went to the beach at night and had some fun. I got some really cool pics and thought i'd share. Has anyone else done this before? Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wahine (female) dancers perform the Maori Poi, a dance performed with balls attached to flax strings, swung rhythmically. Those pictured to the right are using short Poi. The Poi dance was originally used by the Maori women for keeping their hands flexible for weaving and by the men for strength and coordination required during battle. Poi are also used as a training aid for other ancient weapons like the Mere or Patu (Short club) Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
