I've spent several hours trying to get it down and the challenge is making me just frustrated enough to not give up but a more in depth description would be appropriate. wandershroom stranger Member #66213 Reged: Jan 2008 re: POI, Low Wave find similar        17th Oct 2008 4:38 AM Edit   Reply   Quote I figured it out!!! Horray... Ok this is what ya gotta do start in the backwards butterfly postion and master the backwards thread the needle . If you remember playing double dutch with jump ropes when you were small this will help. 12volt stranger Member #86510 Reged: Jan 2009 re: POI, Low Wave find similar        23rd Jan 2009 1:34 AM Edit   Reply   Quote My backyard is becoming too small,might have to move my washing line, but I like this move...

I'm new to this, but I don't see how you can possibly spin both hands in front of you in opposite directions without getting tangled. Something I'm missing?

Any pointers? mefca stranger Member #94903 Reged: Jul 2009 re: POI, Low Wave find similar        14th Jul 2009 7:07 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Hey trevor, This looks really complicated but it's simply a variant on the forward spin. Try starting with just one poi in your hand like she does and spinning it in front of you, do this with both hands individually to get a feel for it. When you feel comfortable trying it individually take both poi and start doing a simple forward spin, then start slowly moving your hands to the front. When i do this i put my right hand slightly above my left, The illusion is that they are right next to each other, but in fact one is in front of the other. this allows the chains or ropes to overlap eachother instead of colliding and getting tangled. Another way to try this is to start out by doing the forward split time spin and bring it to the front, you'll have less of a chance of them colliding because they'll be in front at differen't times, but you'll still be able to get a feel for having the poi in front of you. Good luck! Justin LkL journeyman Member #96727 Reged: Aug 2009 re: POI, Low Wave find similar        11th Sep 2009 8:38 PM Edit   Reply   Quote isn't this just like hip reels? Scathe Flesh stranger Member #98367 Reged: Sep 2009 Loc: Florida re: POI, Low Wave find similar        18th Sep 2009 2:56 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Essentially yes, it seems like a variant of low reels and the butterfly.

Still working on getting the hang of it, darn low ceiling. Comments/replies: 13
