The second movement of the waka poi is called ‘hoea’, rowing Both poi are used and the arms are swung through a half circl in a rowing movement, while both poi are twirling simulaneously The beginning and end are accentuated by the poi hitting the floor at the front and back. This dance may accompany the son Hoea ra te wuka nei (an old canoe song) or one of the man modern songs, such as Hoki hoki. 2. (Left) The second movement is pakihiwi (shoulder). Here the poi ball strikes alternately the palm of the left hand and the back of the right shoulder. While the poi is carried to the shoulde the left hand rests on the waist. 3. (Right) Tihaea, the third movement, falls into two portions. The first is rather similar to paki-hiwi—there is often a subtle transition between one movement of a poi dance and another. The poi strikes the back of the right shoulder and then the back of the left hand. As the hand moves back to the waist, the right arm is drawn slowly to the right while the poi describes a wide but narrowing spiral which gives this movement its name (learning).
