5 beat turns – Sharna Rose

These moves kick my ass and I love it! I got the 3-beat down. Then last weekend I finally got the underhand 3-beat down. I can now 180 from an underhand 3-beat to an overhand 3-beat. When I first got the underhand 3-beat I was literally jumping up and down with excitement. That one move took over a month of head scratching for me. So I also have an overhand 5-beat variation in the bag but these turns that Sharna is doing look wicked hard. This is going to take a while :)

From Sharna:

Not sure what else to call them really….They are Safires’s 5 beat weave, done exactly as described in the other vid clip and then you do a Lucian turn (I call this turn a Lucian turn because he inspired this move for me). Ideally you then continue to the other side and 5 beat it. On my left I got lazy with the 5 beat and was rolling/throwing the hoop instead of grabbing with one hand so this side is way messier. It really tires my brain this combo :-)
