Poi are performance artists who use tethered weights, often with colorful or LED-lit fabric or balls, to create rhythmic patterns and visual displays by spinning them around their bodies. The art of poi originated with the Māori people of New Zealand and has evolved into a popular form of dance and flow art worldwide. Poi can be performed for entertainment, exercise, or meditation, and is commonly seen at festivals and circus acts.
