Fire Poi Dancer @ Time’s Tin Cup ! SOLD! View More items here
The fire knife poi dance spawns from the ancient practice of ailao. During ceremonial proceedings, the warrior would twist, spin, and toss their war clubs to display skill and strength. The club later evolved into a machete wrapped in cloth on both ends— the tool commonly used during modern fire knife dances.
But while theses performances make an audience ooh and ahh, ever wonder, where these unique dances originate?
True luaus are performed by warriors, not dancers. These performances are warriors that are telling the stories of their ancestors. Warriors do not go to dance class to learn strength and skill. They go to bootcamp.
