PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE Cycle

The following cycle, which we also refer to as the machine, involves thread the needle and the three beat weave in two different directions. Concentrate on the stalling arm (in this case the right-hand arm) and don’t despair if the upward thread the needle feels a bit awkward to start with.

Concentrate on the quarter turn here in order to be able to switch cleanly from the wheel plane in to the wall plane. To help you grasp this transition, it is also possible to have a single player simulate it.
