360º Tai Chi videos in 4K for high-speed internet
These 4K playlists cover the first section of the Lee style Tai Chi dance and form, filmed in 360º for you to follow at home between lessons. You choose where to look: drag with a mouse, swipe a tablet or move your phone around to change the angle. That way you can watch each movement from the side or from the front when someone is blocking your view. The playback speed can be adjusted too.
The 4K videos work best on a quick connection, for example fibre to the premises (FTTP) running above 45 Mbit. For news of the latest uploads, subscribe to our YouTube channel.
