MySpaceTV Videos: lil tut by Digital PYRO [DvP...

Woa thats fast! I love how that looks, thx for sharing! My only suggestion tutorial wise would be to explain which hand leads as you turn your body (which is natural for some people, but others it often is not,) and perhaps trying to slow it down to better demonstrate the transitions. Otherwise great tutorial it gave me some new ideas and will probably help some others!

Yay FLOW TOYS! <3 (I need to replace my broken one still lol)

haha I believe, I realized what I was doing was actually almost identical, I can do it much faster now that I tried and sort of applied the tip's in the tutorial.

there really is no lead hand. lead hand as is if you were doig a 2bt weave.. you follow one hand with the other.

split time butterfly weaves there really isnt a lead hand. your hands need to stay together side by side while doing this.

but i guess there could be a "lead hand" while doing this. when going to the left your left hand will be leading ad going to the right your right hand will be leading so to speak yet they're still side by side.

and yea dude. my water 2 is broken. it shorted out or soemthin. it wont turn on at all i need to get a new one!


annnnd you are very welcome charlie!! i better be seein ya do this at HW!! lol. anything else youd like me to make a tut on?

Thanks for the tutorial....I LOVE that move!!! It's so much fun! However, (and not to rain on your parade) it's NOT what I would call a split-time butterfly weave...it is much more. The butterfly weave is called this because the hand motions are similar to weaves while retaining opposite direction spins (butterfly). For example, a 3 beat butterfly weave has the exact same hand motions as a 3 beat weave...only with butterfly directions of spin. In this move, one hand always stays on top. Unfortunately, it has no REAL name that I've ever seen. I call it a 'split-time butterfly 180' in this video (which is somewhere on the site as well).

YouTube - New Butterfly Variations

The names aren't a huge deal, really but I just wanted to distinguish between this and the 2, 3 and 4 beat split-time butterfly weaves which are quite a bit different.

On a further note (after experimenting with my poi), I would say that if you just did one side of this (from the front to the side and then back....alternating) it would be a split-time 2 beat butterfly weave, but when you toss it back to the other side (without a spin in the middle...which kinda resembles a pirouette, but only half of it) it becomes something else. Like I said, I don't really have a good name for it, but I think something with 180 in it would be appropriate. Who knows....but I'm glad you posted the vid cause it will likely help someone learn the move (which is WAY more important than the names EVER will be).

oh shit. that was nice! lol

yea idk what to really call it to be honest. jsut figured that name seemed appropriate
