The other poi — Maori fire dancing

Fire poi - the other whitemeatI was familiar with "poi" as being the sticky purplish-gray condiment served with pork at luaus, but I had no idea that it is also what New Zealand's Maori people call fire dancing.

Luxotica documents the history of this style of fire dancing and sells equipment and supplies for fire dancers, as well as providing a place for the poi community to share tips and techniques. Their safety section contains graphic photographic evidence that if you play with fire carelessly, you're going to get burned!
