Poi Index

A gracefull, skillfull and fun performance art

I was captivated by Poi at Didge Fest UK 2006, with loads of people playing with staff and poi. The effect was mesmerising and so beautifull. I bought some to use, was pleased with the quality and people kept asking where I got them from, so here they are...

Poi's origins can be traced to New Zealand where it has been used by both men and women to increase flexibility, strength, and co-ordination. Contempoary use of Poi is becoming increasingly popular across this ickle green and blue planet where is is used in many different ways such as exercise, hobby, or performance art. Often Poi is associated and used alongside other performing arts like juggling and staff spinning.

I tried numerous different Poi when looking into the why's, what's, and wherefore's of it all. These items stood out as being among the best as they are well made and robust. Not only that but the LED and 3-in-1 Poi, as well as the Lightwave come with a very comprehensive (and free) instructional cd/dvd, with video's of loads and loads of techniques, tricks and tips.
