2 beat wave?

This might sound stupid, but it intrigued me and I had to ask Smile

I can do 3,4,5 beat waves, both forward, reverse and btb, forward and reverse, but I have heard & seen ( on line ) a 2 beat wave. It's done usually in the butterfly plane, or sometimes at the side of your body. It looks like a very simple smooth movement and the poi spins very fast. I cant crack it, can somebody please explain how it is done ( assuming I got the name right )
Thanks

ummm its defo not in butterfly plane i dont think. Im suprised you havent already done it learning your 3bt!

basically its the same a 3bt except you dont add the extra beat so the poi make a figure of 8 pattern.

i think you are on about a differnt move or like you said the name is wrong. do you have a linky to a vid?

Waves are essentially (As far as I'm aware) Done in your butterfly plane.

An example would be doing:

- Butterfly Plane
- FWD.3bt on your left hand side
- Bring poi in front where it does three beats
- Then your poi move to the right of your body and are doing a RVR.3bt

Is that the wave?

wait a sec so are weaves and waves different?

*edit* just read your post properly dae so you do weaves stood in butterfly planes?

Yeah, weaves are done on your side planes and Waves are done on your front planes.

Like a fountain almost but your not going in a circle. Just from left to right.

Ya dig?

i get ya, but i dont undersatnd why they arent just called weaves if its the same thing but your turned 90deg? confusingness lol

Daedra · Posted: Fri 26th Oct, 2007 11:20 am Post subject:

It's simpler to just say wave rather than 90 degree 3bt weave rotation I guess. It's just what I've always known it to be lol

lol yeh your right there man hahaha safe im gonna go find some wave variations Smile

It's a very simple trick. Iso Waves look snazzy, you could probably pull off a BTB Wave thinking about it as well. So dabble with those!

I think it's going with the principle of going left to middle, to right. In which case it's possible to do a TTN Wave with Splits and Variants.

so are waistwraps waves?

mwhahahaha im on it! have we answered the guys question? lol we always go off on tangents..

Lol it was a good tangent none the less! We covered some god "Grey Area" Ground when it comes to waves anyways which I'm sure will be helpful to Jocos' question!

To answer the Q tho...

You can't do even number beat waves other than .2bt because it's principally doing a FWD.#bt weave to a RVR.#bt weave. It's not like a Windmill where you go from front to back.

Well as far as I know, can you pull off four beat weaves Felix? I've just never seen them other than Windmills.
