Alright... I made a Waist Wrap video! Okay, it's not the best that we could have done, but hey, it was a fun little exercise.

Right-click and Save As and all that...

Smaller file size (approx 10mb):
https://orbit.harm.org/Spinning/WaistWrap/WaistWrapDemoSM.wmv

Bigger (approx 20mb)
https://orbit.harm.org/Spinning/WaistWrap/WaistWrapDemoLG.wmv

I suppose we could have made it a LOT shorter/smaller, but then it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.

Thank you very much



I spent a very informative 6.25 minutes with my nose practically glued to the screen (with resulting blurry screen )



I can see from that that it helps to a) be very thin, and/or b) to have several joints in each arm.



But I'll keep practising. thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you

It also helps to cheat a little when you're learning the move. At about 30 seconds into the video, I do the easier version. You stick out the foot on the side you're wrapping TO, and you kind of twist to the side. That way, your arms dont' have to wrap around as far. Learning it the easy way helps you get the rhythm of the move... and then eventually you can learn the harder way (moving that foot BACK instead of forwards, which makes for a much better looking wrap). Also, look at what happens with the shoulder on the arm that has to go back. I didn't notice this until I made this video, but I dip that shoulder down quite a bit in order to reach around.

dont forget the butterfly variations (I think the vid concentrated on the weave variations)

all videos will be up in the next few days... still waiting on domain activation where the files are going to be stored.
this includes the new video, maybe both versions cos both are fun.
