Hi Shelley,  Click on the link below and watch my Crazy Weaves video starting at  :34 through  :46.  Is that what the low and high reels are?

Yes, I believe those are it.  It's hard to tell exactly because you're not turning with them, but I believe you are doing reels, and if you were to turn while doing them, they would be reel turns.  I watched Sandra's video in the Mini Hoop class, and when she turns with the low reel, for a brief moment, as she's facing toward the camera (about in the middle of the turn) both hoops are down near her hips and they are both behind her.  When she is turning to her right, her right palm is facing away from her (with her wrist scooped) and her elbow is bent out toward the right.  Her left palm is facing towards her body.  Of course, it's the opposite when she is turning toward the left.  When she does the high reel turn, for a moment about in the middle of the turn, her arms are raised above her head and the hoops are swinging behind her head/upper back.  I hope this makes sense!  If you could make a tutorial, I would be so happy!

I just posted Part 3 of my tutorial series on Twin Turns.  Click to go to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Part 1 is basic turns while spinning.  Part 2 is more advanced turns while spinning.  Part 3 is turns while spinning each hoop in a different direction.  Part 4 will be combinations of weaves, spinning, and
turns.  Hope this helps everyone.  Shelley had requested this series.  I had fun making them.  Part 4 is coming soon.
