  • i dont get it =[

  • @Gr4ssr0ots Can you explain where you're struggling? Maybe I can help.

  • I'm think I'm kind of getting it. When my right arm is behind me and I go to bring it back down in front of my body my right arm and hand placement feel awkward. I'm just not sure if I'm doing it correctly and its supposed to feel weird.

  • @pixxyhaze It is a little weird because you've changed which side of your hand is doing the driving. If you drove it up and behind with the pinky leading, then you must drive it up and down in front with the index finger leading. This is switching the power from one part of the hand to the other (while it's behind you, which is even weirder). I'm not sure if this makes sense. I would just do it again and again, very slow, pausing in front and back, and pretty soon it will start to feel natural.

  • Hey Caroleeena I reaaaally LOVE your tutorials, so helpful. Do you think perchance you could do a weave tutorial for those of us who have no idea how to do a twin weave? I think that'd be super helpful as kind of a glimpse into getting these weaving motions down?

  • @dogensays0 I do have a three-beat weave tutorial. It won't let me post a link to it but if you go to my page, it's there! Good luck!

  • Thanks Carolena, I'm sorry it's takin me so long to respond, I've been pretty sick. I finally got the motion of the windmill but I've been struggling getting my hands very close to each other to make it tighter lookings.  I'm sure it just takes practice...thanks for this video! It has really helped me grasp the concept <3

  • @Caroleeena My biggest issue with this was the hand placement and figuring out where my hands were supposed to be and how to turn them (wrists out? wrists in? when do you switch?). This comment in response to pixxyhaze realllllly helped straighten it out for me with the pinky/index finger leading tip. Thank you!!!

  • thank you i love you <3

  • I'm getting it but for some reason when I go to bring my right arm down back in front of me my hand and arm feel awkward. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right.

  • You are my hero.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! SO HELPFUL!

    :D

  • YAY! Thank you so much for this! I've always thought this looked so pretty but I could never quite understand what people were doing since it happens so fast. Your break down was SUPER helpful, I got it right away!
