**What is Poi?**
Poi is a traditional performance art that originated with the Māori people of New Zealand. It involves swinging tethered weights in rhythmic patterns, often accompanied by singing and dancing. Originally, poi was used by Māori warriors to improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. It has evolved over time to become a prominent feature in cultural performances and festivities, showcasing the beauty and skill of Māori traditions.
**Cultural Significance and Use in Aotearoa**
Poi holds a special place in the heart of Māori culture. It is often performed during kapa haka, a traditional Māori performing arts ensemble that includes songs, chants, and dances. The rhythmic movement of poi, combined with its visual appeal, makes it a captivating and integral part of these cultural expressions.
Beyond its traditional roots, poi is also used today in various contexts within Aotearoa:
