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

Psylentz, I think I may have done that move with my last girlfriend.......But then, she never would let me set her on fire......------------------If you love something, set it on fire.

Try turning while you spin it horozontly around your neck. Turn with the staff, it does good!!!!

I actually do that. I have a whole combiation that starts out in a helicopter, goes into a neck wrap, into a waist wrap, back to a neck wrap, back to helicopter, to BTB helicopter, to neck wrap, to waist wrap/stall. And I'm turning through the whole thing. Looks the shit.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.
