Forward Weave (5 beats)

Media Files (click to view)

Here's how to do the chase/weave (4 or 5 beats) When doing the chase "aka the weave" forwards and on your right your right hand will rotate over your left then you would normally swing that poi to your left. Instead of doing this just let it swing on your right again and curve your left hand over your right and down to your left. Follow your right hand on to your left side and you will have done 4 beats on your right side. Now both poi are on your left you can untwist your arms to do 4 beats then back to the right and you will be doing the a '4 beat chase'. If you want to do 5 beats on each side then when you untwist your arms on the left let your left poi do an extra revolution than the normal chase and wrap your right wrist around your left and down to the right (mirror immage of what you did on your right). You will have done 5 beats on your left and when you do the same on the right you will be doing a '5 beat chase' You'll notice that the pattern for your right poi when doing 5 beats is 3 on your right and 2 on your left. Visa-versa for your left poi. Also known as.. The Chase

U are a great teacher! I knew I had it when the poi (like you said) kinda look like they are swinging too close to eachother. I just need to fine tune now! Anyone still trying to get it.... You really have to lock your arms, one bent and one straight.

I also found that a useful way to remember where your hands should be is that, when they are crossing over the front of your body, they should be both facing outward. That is, that the backs of the hands should be touching each other when they cross. wamps stranger Member #111259 Reged: May 2010 re: POI, Forward Weave (5 beats) find similar        3rd Jun 2010 8:03 AM Edit   Reply   Quote wow reading the comments really helps Wrylis stranger Member #116450 Reged: Aug 2010 re: POI, Forward Weave (5 beats) find similar        14th Aug 2010 5:31 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Derek Faughn, Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos.

I learned this one in a day due to the ever so helpful training videos. I'm working on the augmented moves, the reverse of the five beat, and the Atomic weave for now.
