What is Poi?
Brief History of Poi

Poi has been around for hundreds of years. It is believed to have originated in New Zealand with the Maori people and is still used in their tribal celebrations (Haka Poi). The “Poi” is a Maori word which means “ball on a string, swung around the body.” It is pronounced like “toy” but with a P.

The beginning level class will break down the foundational moves that are necessary for a strong Poi repertoire. Unlike some instructors, teacher LeRina will not try to teach fancy moves too quickly. Rather, she wants to make sure the student has the most important moves down for performance (such as turning) before introducing more complicated “tricks”.

Students will have the opportunity to perform at the Winter Dance Recital in December. Students are not required to perform, but are encouraged to do so.

With time and practice, the necessary foundations will have been laid for the student to advance to more difficult material and perhaps, if they have the passion…. To dance with Fire!


Who?

Anyone! Even if you don't have previous dance experience, you can learn Poi. Classes are taught by LeRina Martinez. {short description of image}
