Poi originated in New Zealand. Poi were used in a variety of traditional dances and exercises. Swinging poi is becoming more popular and is often seen at festivals and raves. Fire poi is a recent adaptation and has been proving quite popular.
Various ways of describing juggling patterns on paper have been developed. These include siteswap notation, ladder diagrams, causal diagrams, and landing schedules.Most require some restrictive assumptions about the form of the juggling, so can only describe a subset of possible patterns. Some of the notations can be combined with mathematical theory to find, for example, the total number of patters of a certain length with a given number of balls.
