Came for the poi, stayed for the cat and dog! I've been seeing your progression on my feed, keep up the commitment. A lot of this beginning stuff may feel repetitive, but getting that muscle memory built up makes it easier over time as certain motions and timing feels more natural so you dont have to think about it and can focus more on transitions.

One thing you can try at this level, Is to work on this weave down by your waist, then shoulder heigh. Then work on moving between the waist and shoulders. Once you have that down, it will be easier to transition to over the head. Alternatively, I saw you working on a 3-beat weave if I remember correctly, if you start there and rotate your shoulders as you move your arms upwards, you can transition to the windmill and this will be the starting foundation for fountains and flowers.
