Extended Reels

'Extended reel,' what can this possibly mean? i hear you cry! Quite simply its an extension of 'the reel.' This particular video clip demonstrates the move being spun inwards in parallel time, but like most moves it can be spun outwards too!

This spinning move contains three seperate sections the poi spin; infront of you for one beat, behind your back for one beat and over your shoulders for one beat.

1) To start this move spin 'the butterfly' inwards as the poi spin up twist both hands outwards guiding the poi to spin behind your back.

2) As the poi spin up towards your shoulders bring your arms up guiding the poi to spin behind your head for one beat.

3) You then bring both hands back to the original starting position and one cycle of the move is complete.
