4a. The hopuhopu (catch) movement also consists of two parts. The first part is to twirl the poi towards the body and catch it. 4b. The poi is then twirled sideways and caught again (above). After this follows another inward movement, then a sideways movement, and so on alternately. 5. Kumea, the fifth movement is like the pakihiwi, except that the poi is swung alternately over both shoulders. Above: the poi swung over the left shoulder. Some of the most picturesque movements following the kumea could not be successfully’ photographed. They were: 6. waewae (legs), where the poi is twirled first on the left, then on the right hand, accompanied by a leg movement. 7. tirairaka (fluttering of the fantail), the same as the waewae, except that the legs are not used and that the movement of the poi is far bolder describing a wider circle, resembling the fluttering of a bird. 8. kawau (shag), similar to the tihaea, except for the left arm action. After the poi has struck the back of the left hand, it is swung slowly back after the manner of a tihaea, and carried to the back of the right shoulder. In the meantime the left arm shoots forward and is held out horizontally. Our cover picture (above) illustrates the kawau (shag) movement at its climax, when the left arm is fully stretched out and the poi is travelling in a spiral away from it. The dance ends in a left-handed military salute (whakahonore), accompanied with the twirling of the poi.
