I've stop spinning for quite a time and started with staff and just learned the windmill & one haded weave(figure 8), while i was practicing i tried to do a turn using the figure 8 and it worked, just wanted to share a beginners experience(haven't seen that in the staff lessons)

Yes, I love doing turning moves, they add a lot to a performance.The easiest way I've found to do it is by switching between forward and reverse weaves as you turn. It looks lovely once you get the foot work right.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.[This message has been edited by SickpuPpy (edited 01 January 2002).]

my favorite turns are catching on my foot and kicking it above my head (almost like a horizontal throw) and turning to catch it, also, spinning it behind my back to turn, or putting it between my legs and just turning after i pull it out------------------~ Tiger, Tiger, burning bright... ~

yeah, turning rocks and looks really squiffy from the audience's point of view. you can tilt it into horisontal as you turn too, great for running around.Nix
