Don't try to make it continuous at first, just do a few beats of one, then turn and do a few beats of the other. As you get better, shorten how long you stay on each side and eventually you got yourself a weave. It takes some time to get your planes proper so nothing tangles, but it's very doable.

One thing to bear in mind is that one side will be "weaving" forwards and the other backwards. At least as far as arm movement is concerned. _________________________ 'We're all mad here.

I have no video camera (which I'm trying to rectify) in order to film a video with, but you can do either forward or reverse weave with this move.

I know that that was what made it click for me. I suspect you are correct though and it should not matter. _________________________ 'We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."
