Hinges ~ Diagonal ~ X to C Relation

This lesson drills fan hinges on a diagonal pathway, specifically working the X to C Relation. You’ll practise keeping the hinge action clean while tracking a consistent diagonal line, so the fan head and handpath stay readable through the change of orientation.

Nikki Scarano highlights using a wrist flip to move the hinge to the opposite side, letting you repeat the same hinge mechanic on the reverse diagonal. Use this to strengthen bilateral control and make diagonal transitions between X and C Relation feel smooth and intentional.
