    Hi, there. New to the site! Awesome so far…

    Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the "flying body spiral" combo into "pretzel" …?

    I can't seem to get this one. Does anyone have any links or videos on the "how to's" of this combo?

    great site!

    Can you do a proper reverse grab to begin (flying body spiral)?  Can you get into twisted ballerina (pretzel) statically?

     

    This move, at least for me, requires quite a bit of shoulder flexibility in order to get your body in front of the pole to be able to wrap the leg.  If you are not getting your body completely in front of the pole before you grab with your hand I would suggest working on that first.

     

    You also need to have your body almost sideways across the pole.  If you are still straight up and down you will not get this.  Stop the following video at 17 seconds and look at her body positioning.  You have to be THERE on your flying body spiral.

    Thanks so much! =) I'll try this… and see if I have any luck. The more info or videos I can check out the better, since I'm so visual to figure these combos out. =) Thanks again…

    Do you have Veena's lessons?

     

    Also look up Sarah Cretul on youtube.  She probably has the best version I have ever seen anayone do.

    Here is the lesson for it. It's broken down into steps, has slow motion and multiple angles. The Ballerina spin. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc631e5-4354-4c33-8b45-7bf40ac37250
