It can be a taro root dish made in Hawaii, or it can be a form of dance originating in New Zealand that involves rhythmically swinging balls attached to strings and suspended from the hands. Sometimes you will see performers swinging light sticks while doing poi, and it is visually very interesting and entertaining. Some attempt swinging fire, and this is particularly dangerous and a very bad idea.
