Folds ~ Same Time Diamond w/ Crossed Arms

This lesson builds an intermediate fold variation in fans using a same time diamond pathway while working with crossed arms. You’ll start from a T shape with palms oriented back, then lift and fold as both fans travel together.

Practise sliding the props past each other as you cross to an O relation, continue through a W shape, then return palms up towards the face to re-find the starting position with extended arms. Nikki Scarano then has you reverse the sequence, drilling clean timing, arm pathway clarity, and smooth transitions between T, O, W, and M relations.
