7bt Corkscrew? Cant we get a movie of thatone please....
You just blocked up my head and got me very confused, how the heck can this be done?
Arent corkscrews even beats, like 2-4-6 etc? slash

Anyways it seems very cool and even though it would be a ugly move, it would be fun seeing Smile

I usually count it starting from when a hand goes into the opposite plane of my body. E.g. Left hand on right side. I start counting the beats as soon as that poi hits the bottom of the 'circle' i'm spinning to my side.

Try it with a 3 beat weave. You'll find your, say, right arm, is coming over to go to the left again just as your 3rd beat (with the left hand on the right side) is completed.

Just wrap them round your hands and spiral wrap out after 5 beats. It looks better, even though it's not technically a 7 beat :P

Lots of love,
Your lazy Neurotic :P
