Rhythm of turning in weaves and fountain

Work the rhythmic handoff between a 4-by-4 fountain and turning weaves, focusing on staying locked to the music as the turn changes how many circles you perceive. Nick Woolsey highlights why the fountain and turning weave can feel similar visually while counting differently in practice, which often causes timing drift.

Rather than tracking total rotations, you drill a simpler rhythmic cue: count “up on one side, down on the other” to keep a steady pulse through the fountain, then maintain the same beat reference as you initiate the turn. This gives you a reliable counting strategy for smoother transitions and cleaner body rhythm.
