On the upswing of any particulat beat, I direct my poi past my hips and behind my back. I know it sounds crazy but I then let my hands cross and scoop them up towards the sky and I find that in doing this I get a pretty flat and even BTB butterfly. Hope that helps some. tirael stranger Member #88172 Reged: Mar 2009 Loc: Costa Rica re: POI, Behind the back Butterfly find similar        10th Apr 2009 3:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote I agree with ChaoticHarmony... I find it way easier to start in front of myself with a backwards butterfly and then take it BTB... sometimes I even let the poi do one extra beat before getting them into BTB butterfly... serafaery stranger Member #94618 Reged: Jul 2009 Loc: Portland, OR re: POI, Behind the back Butterfly find similar        8th Jul 2009 3:42 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Nice!

They'll either tilt so they hit my shoulders/neck, or the other way so that they hit the back of my knees. I'll definitely try the tricks you suggested here though, I might do better with the reverse butterfly lol Comments/replies: 6
