Transitions between weaves and butterflies step 1

Drill the first stage of clean transitions between two-beat weaves and inward butterflies. Nick Woolsey has you isolate the timing and left–right coordination so you can recognise the moment to switch patterns without breaking plane control or rhythm.

You’ll practise a one-poi over–under weave action with the other poi swinging to the side, then bring it into two poi. The key cue is when the swinging poi rises on the opposite side, letting the other hand cross over to re-enter the weave. Use this as muscle-memory work for reliable weave↔butterfly changes on either side.
