Level 3 Advanced

In level 3 we did the movements highlighted in the grid below

However, these movements occured only in the two mixed plane positions,

Could these basic movements be used to form an algorithm similiar to the level 3 algorithm but

useful in both the Vertical and Horizontal plane?

Lets look at the possibilities.

Because we have four different replacements for the Mirror movement

that means we have four possible algorithms.

Lets look at all four of those algorithms using the 1,1 start position

in the Horizontal Plane

The Double Change (CC) and the Double Change Transquarter

(CT/CT) return to the start after only two repetitions.

The CF/CB and CB/CF options return to the start after four.

That makes them a little more interesting and also stays closer

to the spirit of the original Level 3 algorithm.

So lets pick the CF/CB option and build an advanced

Level 3 Algorithm.

Horizontal Plane


FF, Double Forwards (both arms forwards)


CFCB, Left Arm Change Forwards (Right Arm Change Backwards)


FB, Left arm Forwards (right arm backwards)


TT, Double Transquarter

Awesome to see someone else playing with their own versions of Level 3. I was intrigued that you started 11 rather than (using your notation) 1a. Was that just to try something different?
P.S. The pdf link doesn't work for me, I get a 404 error.

The reason was that I wanted an algorithm that I could use for both the mixed plane positions (one hand vertical one hand horizontal) as well as in the positions where both hands are vertical or both hands are horizontal.

Thanks for fixing the links, and I've subscribed to the new blog - I look forward to hearing more about what you do with DoS.

About the dance of shiva and me

When I first read about Andrey Lappa's "Dance of Shiva" I was intrigued by the notion of spiral movements of the arms used to generate the flow of energy and bestow the practitioner with special powers.

I have yet to develop special powers but the Dance of Shiva has helped me to become smarter, improve my mind-body coordination and help me see connections. Perhaps those in and of themselves are "special powers," special enough for me to want to share this art.
