if you are referring to poi balls, they are from the Maori (polynesians from New Zealand....) I know when I make mine (which we do use for dancing....) I usually weigh them down with newspaper & some sort of tissue...(in case you hit yourself with them....)& cover them with white cotton cloth or muslim fabric...but they are used to tell stories with the dance,hope that makes sence.....
Yes, this does make perfect sense.

I would love to watch this more and more...I don't think I would try it though....I know I would more than likely hit myself....or trip over them while attempting to dance....hence my nick name "Gracey!"
