Shapes: Hybrids

Hybrids are explored as a shape-building tool, combining two familiar pathways into one continuous hand path. Nikki Scarano frames this as an intermediate/advanced concept that beginners can still use to expand their movement vocabulary and creative choices.

You’ll see a clear example of layering a circle with a diamond to create a hybrid shape, focusing on how the pathway shifts without breaking flow. Use this idea to design your own fan patterns by blending shapes while keeping timing and orientation consistent.
