So - if I say 2-beat weave, do you know what I mean? (I'm a club swinger, I don't really understand this poi-talk... ) OK, so take that 2-beat weave and do it on one side of your body in what I believe is "Wall plane" (goes through both your shoulders? That plane anyway) with one of the circles behind your back and the other in front. Make sure the clubs/poi/gerbils on strings/whatever stay under your arms throughout (so if you're doing it on your left side then the whole thing is happening between your left arm and your body).When you're happy and comfortable with that, use one of the front circles as the time you've got to swap the "weave" over to the other side of you (again with it all under your arms). Keep going there a while then use a front circle to go back to the side you started on. Now shorten the time that you stay on each side of your body, and keep shortening it until you're only doing one circle behind on each side, and all the front circles are transitions from one side to the other. You're now doing the front half of waist wrap.

I use the Jillings book as a reference for pretty much everything and you're using a different definition of the fountain (the Jillings one doesn't have the extra windmill parts at the top)

Er.. yea it does.. it's just that the circles behind you happen over the shoulders instead of behind your head... (fig. 18.4 in her book..) Soz, I didn't describe that bit very well.

Which turns them into shoulder circles instead of windmill-like behind your head ones.

To me, a fountain is a 3 beat move which is just forwards weave -> weave turn with your arms low -> backwards weave -> weave turn with your arms high, with every turn made as soon as possible, so there are no extra beats anywhere.
Written by: TheBovrilMonkey
The half waistwrap would be a 2 beat move that breaks down into forward alternating time low reel -> alternating time turn -> backwards alternating time low reel -> carry back to the start, again done with no extra beats anywhere.

But doesn't "weave turn with your arms high" not necessarily include the circle behind your head?
Written by:
Ah, but low reel has hands on the same side of the body as the shoulder they belong to.. And other than that I don't follow what you mean by "forward [...] low reel" and "backward [...] low reel", those terms don't compute with what I know as waist wrap..

I personally disagree with the Anna Jillings book (and with as much as I read of the other HoP thread) - there are 4 circles in a waist wrap, not 3 (-and-a-carry), if you learn a 3 circle version then the 4th circle is a sloppy mess and makes the whole pattern look bad.

Not intending to drag this off topic any further, but are you planning to go to Bristol? It'd be good to chat about this in person

Can the waist wrap be achieved by going from btb forwards and reverse weaves, but in the wall plane? I have tried this and it seems to feel like what I imagine a waist wrap would feel like. (is this making sense?)

The waist wrap is a two beat move not a three beat weave. Lead with the right going to the right.

PinkNigel, did you figure out the tangle?

I don't like the original "Waist Wrap" move that people first used, which was just split time spinning at your side in wall plane - or pretty much just a split-time tuck turn (from the Free Lessons - HERE) continuously.
Written by:
Right, Waist Wrap to me, that is in poi terms, is wall plane with one hand BTB - that's it.
Written by:
It also made what i'd call a waist-wrap move a "BTB waist wrap" - which sounds overly complicated and wordy and only one hand is BTB anyway.
