Poi enthusiasts have the Maori people to thank for the fascinating art form. The methods and materials for the craft have changed through the years, but one thing remains—creating beautiful patterns with skillful swinging of a chosen prop. Throughout poi history, performers have used all sorts of materials to showcase skill, ranging from ribbons to fire and other kinds of glowing materials that create stunning light and blur patterns when swung around. LED poi balls are modern takes on the traditional fire poi, which makes the craft a little bit safer for both the performer and the audience. LED poi balls also allow poi handlers to create even more unique and crisp patterns as well as imagery that are difficult to impossible to achieve with traditional materials. Swinging techniques are easy to transfer from one material to another, but constant practice is critical if you want to achieve mastery.
Beginners will do well to practice with materials that are soft, but have the right size and density to mimic typical poi materials and have enough weight to swing well. some popular choices include tennis balls and bean-filled socks, which create the perfect weight and dimension for a practice poi. These materials also help keep practice sessions safe, so you can get techniques down before graduating to actual poi materials while keeping yourself out of harm’s way.
