Sky view of jiggies and pirouettes
From a sky view, this lesson clarifies how jiggies and pirouettes are driven by body rotation rather than hand work. You’ll observe the arms held in a stable position while the turn creates the poi’s path and timing, showing the difference between forward and backward turning.
Nick Woolsey focuses on bringing the hands closer to the body for pirouettes, using tight, compact arm placement to keep the plane consistent and return to a clean starting orientation. The drill emphasises trusting the physics, managing the fear of contact, and refining timing so the turn does the work.
