Today we learned the rest of the actions (waiata-a-ringa) to Pa Mai and next week we will choose three people to be videoed for the blog. You will need to practise this week if you would like to be considered of selection.
The boys learned the chant and the actions for their part in Pa Mai - impressive start!
Bring On The Poi!
The boys got to finish early while we spent some time teaching the girls some poi actions!
Short Poi
The first action we learned was to twirl the poi and catch it. Not as easy as it sounds and it is going to take some practice. Here is a video clip to remind you what it should look like.
Long Poi
The first action with the long poi is to twirl one poi and work on getting your timing right. Turn the poi twice to every beat with your foot. Twirl the poi towards your body and stamp your foot for every two turns. Here is a video clip to show you.
Once you get the hang of this with one poi - try adding in the second - both poi swinging towards the body.
