A 5 beat forward weave is a nice way to ‘up’ your standard 3 beat weave. Its another way to make your weaving look tighter.

*You should know your 3 beat forward weave before you attempt this*

Normally, your right hand will swing your right poi to the left side in the 3 beat weave.
Instead, wrap your right hand around your left wrist, so that it sticks out underneath your left wrist. Your right poi will do another circle on your right side. In the meanwhile, your left hand will stick out, over and above your right wrist to swing the left poi over to the left side."
