Join Summer for a lesson in beginner POI spinning. Students will be provided with soft practice POI to borrow for class. This is a standing class in a fun environment full of laughter.
Long Description:
"POI" is the Maori word for "ball" on a cord. The POI was used, many years ago, by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand to increase their flexibility and strength in their hands and arms as well as improving coordination. Wahine (female) dancers perform the Maori POI, a dance performed with balls attached to flax strings, swung rhythmically. 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).
The cost of this event covers advanced skills only. Poi are LOANED to students for use during this class or bring your own :)
