"It is not the age but the mental abilities of the child that matters"
- from "The Rhythm and Life of Poi" by Ngamoni Haut
There are those `born with poi in their hands` and there are others who need work at it. Children should be nurtured and encouraged to expand their knowledge because they will be the future creators of compositions.
Poi dance is traditionally an art of survival. It is also a clear presentation of unconditional behaviors in the present level of a child's development.
Poi spinning can help any child with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, as it feeds back to the child their own experiential understanding of their difficulties - increasing confidence as their abilities rapidly grow in an entertaining, non-competitive manner while exercising them holistically both mentally (left/right brain) and physically.
For a child, poi spinning becomes an adventure of broad dimensions. He or she will think of 101 things they can do with the poi balls and their own senses will dictate their movements and motives.
All of our Poi Passion's teachers are CRB checked and hold full public liability.
