Poi is a dynamic workout, a beautiful dance and a creative element endless in expression. Poi are weighted dance tools that are spun around the body in rhythmic patterns, when a light source is added the dance becomes an all encompassing art form full of personal expression.

Poi is also an amazing workout for your mind and soul, a meditation method. The poi workshops and classes are challenging and rewarding with fun new tricks and moves each week!
