Pretzel (aka Ballerina) on spinning and static pole.

Tips:
- Learn reverse grab spin first
- when in reverse grab spin, make sure hips are to the side of the pole not in front. If hips are in front of pole, lower the bottom hand on the pole when grabbing the pole so you lean down and this in turn pushes your hips away from the pole. You will find it hard to place the leg behind the pole if hips are in front of the pole
- Do a walk the into the pretzel spin to begin with to get familiar with the pose and to stretch out arms. This spin will stretch u out!

Very pretty move :D

Make sure you warm up first.

Note: Pole dancing, like other forms of sport or physical activity, involves risk of injury. I'll try my best to provide the best advice and information to minimise these risks, however, this responsibility is ultimately yours. Take care, and don't over push yourself. Always start from the bottom and work your way up. DO NOT attempt a move that you are not ready for.

I love this one but keep smashing my ankle when I wrap my leg around :(

dry hands

[lozag84]

has anyone got any advice on sweaty hands/palms, is there something i could put on them to keep them dry or help me grip better?

[michelleswallows]

In pole class I do this move on the static pole and we call it the "snake charmer". U can sustain the spin on the static pole if u kick your outside leg a little higher and when you go around the pole hook your inside leg right before you about to come down from the spin. I hope this makes sense

Thankyou for slowing down your vids, a great help!!

Can you make a prep video for this? I am having trouble getting this down and I'm thinking maybe a prep video might help me get it. Thanks!
