Poi Lesson 21: Thread the Needle

[oscurochu]

I finally learned how to do it but my poi keep smacking each other; sometimes it's the chain and sometimes it's the balls. Any tips?

I've been trying to understand exactly what is happening in this move for a few days but I figured it out from your video! Thanks so much :) I was probably making this one a lot harder than it shoulda been lol. My advice to everyone is really understand what is happening. You are basically switching the hand thats dominantly on top with the other and like he says .. just feel it. It helped me to slow the roations down a whole lot and really watch whats happening (or supposed to happen)

Sexy much, sir? Indeed.

Thanks for the tutorial, I'm researching how to teach, not necessarily how to do, but this was enjoyable nonetheless. :) Just keep spinning, just keep spinning, just keep spinning, spinning, spinning...

Aw, you're making me blush.

oh man, i can't seem to get the outward butterfly thread the needle. Any tips?? I've been watching your tutorial but don't seem to get it.. keep getting tangled. Should i focus on pulling the bottom on back or focus on the top one going forward?

[NathanielEverist]

If you're doing the outwards (aka reverse) butterfly ttn, then the hand underneath should be going forwards while you pull to the top one back. Maybe that's where you're going wrong? Let me know how you go...

Great tutorial! I was having the most trouble trying to figure out how this works! Now I get it. Thank you!!!

[NathanielEverist]

Yeah, it's a weird one, that's for sure, but once you get the timing, it clicks and it'll stay with you. TTN makes regular butterfly pretty obsolete in my opinion, as you're far less likely to hit the poi together, and it looks better too.

[eshayadlay]

thanks for all the lessons, i've been working through them, and they've been appropriately paced and very useful.

[Elfje11]

Pfew, it sure isn't easy... Perhaps a little too advanced for me (I've only just learned half of the 5 beat weave ghehe...), but I'm getting close, thanks to your tutorial... I still have a problem with timing, though... My pois keep getting tangled when I move my hands...

Practice does wonders, huh ^^

[reizza]

In order to learn this move, what I ended up doing was closing my eyes and just kinda letting my hands figure it out for themselves... lol "magic do as you will" right?

[NathanielEverist]

Right!
