My advise is to master fwd and bwd weave infront of you then with only one poi at a time swing behind your back till you have that down. My problem was getting the two started behind me with out them tangling. I finaly got it down by starting them off to one side of my body. Example: right swings behind & down and to left side of body then cross over with the left hand.

There are a few steps you can take to work up to the btb weave.First, start doing a btb crossover with just one hand at a time. Figure out which is easier: starting from a forward side-circle or reverse, and go with whichever is easier.Second, practice holding one hand across your back and doing side-circles on the opposite side of your body. This helps you get used to keeping the chains going in an awkward position.Third, do a quick "one-two" split-time btb crossover. Once you get comfortable with that, it's a relatively easy step to forcing yourself into making the extra side-circles that make it a real weave.Hope this helps.
