Beginning in a Reverse Star, the sequence carries the flyer through a Goofy Star before returning to the starting position. As the movement unfolds, the flyer completes a full rotation around the base’s foot, creating a beautiful, flowing circle that feels as satisfying as it looks.
For the flyer, the challenge is to remain calm, connected, and balanced throughout the entire rotation. The more stable she stays on the base’s foot, the smoother and more effortless the movement becomes. At the same time, the base must provide consistent support and precise control, making this a rewarding challenge for both partners.
If you’re looking for a washing machine that combines elegance, teamwork, and technical skill, this one is well worth adding to your repertoire.

Position the base’s foot slightly closer to the flyer’s shoulder instead of her neck. This gives the foot room to rotate without putting pressure on the flyer’s throat during the transition.
