Ribbons that Lisa has used

[Michelle Joey]

Ok I know it's here somewhere but I cannot find it. I'm just wondering the name of those ribbons that Lisa has used onstage...I think it's in Irish.


Here's a picture:

They look like the ribbons that girls use in "GRS" - sorry French word! The sport with several categories, where girls can either dance with a ball, ribbons or nothing and do complicated figures. Girls in that sport are generally really tiny and they wear tight, glittery costumes. What's the name of that sport?

[Banjaxed]

They're called "Poi". Used in traditional dance by the Maori and by hippies all over the world.
