Three Beat Weave (forwards)

Right, your one hand weave is slick and your ready for some hardcore weave action?..... This tutorial explains the forward 3 beat. All my powers of literal clarity will no doubt be tested!!

1) Start this move by spinning the poi split time forwards

2) As the poi 1 (clearly label your arms 1 and 2 for this one!) reaches its highest point direct arm 1 across your body towards the opposite hip

3) As poi 1 reaches its lowest point on that side poi 2 should be at its highest point on the same side and ready to cross over the top of arm 1 and across your body to the opposite hip.

4) Leave poi 2 at the opposite hip for one whole rotation bringing poi 1 back across to its original side under arm 2.

5) Arm 1 then crosses over the top of arm 2 and returns to its opposite side.

6) Arm 2 should then pull back to its original side and cross over the top of arm 1 which completes one full cycle.

This is a tough one to write and definitely benefits from visual footage!
