How to spin a Forwards 3-Beat Weave
Start with one poi in your non-dominant hand spinning in the side plane in a forwards direction. Stick your other arm out in front of you. Start by spinning your poi on the side of your body then crossing over to the other side going over your arm for one beat, then under your arm for another beat and back to the original side the poi started from. For an over-under-out pattern. Over-Under-Out. Practice this with both your left and right arms until you are comfortable with both.
Now pick up both poi and begin spinning them both in the side plane in split timing. Then swing left Poi “left over” the right arm crossing the body
The very next beat swing the left Poi “left under” the right arm and at the same time begin swinging the right Poi “right over” the left Poi crossing the body.
Next beat swing left Poi “left out” as the right Poi stays crossing the body and swings under “right under” the left
Continue doing “Over”, “Under” then “Out” with both arms. Remember one arm is one beat behind the other.
