Flair Lesson #25: Combo #2

Woot, woot, another combo move. Time to celebrate how much you’ve learned by combining a couple previous moves into a slick, longer move. The moves we are combining here are the Circle Swipe Thru and the Change Grip Around Head, so make sure you’re good to go on those moves. Here, we’re going to focus on the transition between the two.

Start this routine by doing the Circle Swipe Thru just like you’ve learned. When you come to the finishing point of this (elbow pointing down, bottle extended and pointing up), all we are going to do is bend your elbow and pull your forearm into toward your forehead. As you do this, slide your hand up toward the neck of the bottle, keeping the same grip. It helps to have a little momentum and actually give the bottle a slight toss.

From there, bring the bottle around your head to rest on your right shoulder. You’re right in position to go into the arm roll down.

That’s it. Not too tough if you already know the 2 base moves. Be sure to practice with both hands!
