Each measures 16 inches long, and each ball is 3 inches wide. Dance students, halau groups and kids learning rhythm are the buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 poi balls on cords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and fabric construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow dancers use them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the end of each cord and swing the ball in circles, alternating hands and reversing direction with the beat. Beginners start with simple forward circles and work up to figure eights and crossovers in front of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a group, matched white poi balls make a clean visual line across a stage. Teachers hand out identical sets so the whole class moves as one. Each set of 2 gives a dancer one ball for each hand. At home, a kid can practice along with a video and build the wrist timing that hula and Maori dance share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarn and fabric give the balls a soft feel in the hand, which suits younger students starting dance. A missed swing is part of learning a new pattern, so expect a few in the first week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pair in a drawstring bag between classes so the cords do not knot, and spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth. If a cord twists over time, hang both from a hook overnight. Bring the pair to every class and practice at home between sessions, and the motions start to feel natural. Students preparing for a recital or a luau performance get the most from steady daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIslander Hawaiian hula dance implement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 2 poi balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall width 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: yarn and fabric, white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/toys-games-for-babies-kids\"\u003edance props and musical learning toys for kids\u003c\/a\u003e at Big Frenchies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DS-AMZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50654304796912,"sku":"AMZ-B004XU9WIO","price":35.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/7985\/9361\/files\/61z3xfXRWiL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1792809410","url":"https:\/\/www.bigfrenchies.com\/products\/islander-hawaiian-hula-implement-poi-ball-white-b004xu9wio","provider":"BIG FRENCHIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
