  • do you know how to edit videos? it's really easy. would be good if you could upload one where you edit the hand movements to be much much slower. somehow i still can't pick it up. :P the only way i can do it is by twisting my hands towards the body & i see no way around that.

  • Hmmmm... The pads of your thumbs always touch in this movement... you follow your thumbs in a figure 8 away from your body... hope this helps. Nika

  • It helps to keep the wrists touching at all times.  Some people think of this as each hand making a figure 8.

    Keep your fingers long and energized.

    Personally, the way I learned this movement was by trying it in front of a mirror and watching a friend. Now I don't have to bug my friends for a visual. Thank you Nika!

  • thanks.. :-)

  • Your first video was great, but I couldn't quite get it. COmbined with this one, it finally clicked!

    Thanx!!!

  • Awesome... glad I could help a little. Hugz, Nika

  • Really Cool... Great video!

  • I ust uploaded one from the back view- hope that helps!

  • did you do one from the back view?

  • I've already learned it!!!!! thx!

  • Thanks again. One way I think of it is (I think) it is wrist coils, timed slightly out of phase with each other, and in the same (rather than mirror image / opposite) direction, although I could be wrong.

  • you give a beautiful explanation, thanks!

  • I was practicing lotus hands yesterday but it didn't work...And today I woke up, imagined how one hand works and next put hands together and...I get it! Thank you for this video!

  • oh my gosh....thank you so much! I get it! I can't wait to show my dance instructor. ^_^

  • finally got it! thank you thank you!
