Learn how to do partner weaves in this partner poi tutorial that covers the 4-beat weave. Partner poi is a fun way to add a friend to your poi spinning! Partner weaves allow you and your friend to spin together--there are many ways to partner weaves but the 4-beat is usually the first partner poi weave that people learn.

Big thanks to my friend Riki Khalfani for helping me to demonstrate this trick! You can find him on Instagram at [ Ссылка ]

In this video we are both using Umoja poi from Lanternsmith. Pick up a pair at [ Ссылка ] and use my promo code "drexfact0r" to get a discount on your order!

To learn 4-beat weaves, first start by facing your partner and have each of you take a step to the left. Each partner should practice performing a 2-beat weave with their right hand: one will be doing a reverse 2-beat that will feel a little like doing the backstroke and the other will be doing a forward 2-beat that will feel a little like doing the crawl stroke.

Now try these weaves with the poi and add an extra beat to them on the left hand side of the body. This is the complete motion you'll be performing!

To actually start performing the partner 4-beat weave, start with the person doing the forward 2-beat pointing their poi down toward the ground. The partner doing the reverse 2-beat will reach under and hook the forward partner's arm to pull it left through the space between you.

The reverse weave partner now must do an extra beat while the forward partner reaches back past their right shoulder up and over to hook the reverse partner from above. The forward partner will now pull both arms through to the left hand side of their body. The forward partner will keep their poi spinning an extra beat as the reverse partner reaches up and around back past their right shoulder to hook the forward partner from underneath again.

You can also try performing this weave with the partners using opposite hands--say left hand to right hand!
