Poi originated in New Zealand, traditionally practiced by the Māori people. It involves swinging a tethered weight, often made of flax or other materials, around in various patterns. Originally, poi was used by Māori women for strength and dexterity training, while also serving as a form of storytelling and cultural expression. Over time, it evolved into a popular performance art, gaining international recognition and incorporation into various dance and circus arts.
