Ballerina Advice, please!
-
Make sure you bend ALL the way down first, then reach your arm back.
-
You reeeeally have to crouch down and around for the ballerina, then straighten back up to get the grip up higher in your armpit. It helps a lot to use your hands to move yourself into position.
Flagpole hold/half flag is a good transition out of ballerina… just bring your legs back in, change your hand position, and extend the legs.

Also, you can bring your legs back in and kind of sit down into a ball pose, or even go for a bomb drop/sad girl drop.

I do this move in the beginning of my march challenge and the dismount is how Denise Brown taught it in her workshop.

Here is the Lesson for the Ballerina…Keep in mind this is not the twisted variation. I'll post that tomorrow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Worked on both of these today!

Thanks V!

I found a new transition out of ballerina (twisted) today — I'll post a video, it's pretty neat!
While we're here, for the advanced ballerina/eagle… I can hold the pose off the pole, but I'm having problems translating it to the pole… any advice? Is it supposed to be done from a twisted or non-twisted ballerina?
-
It’s done from the ballerina, not twisted 🙂
-
Well that would be why I was having problems I bet! Thank you!
-
marion crampe does a beautiful eagle variation from a twisted ballerina– it's possible! and I think even prettier on spin pole then the regular eagle.

at the very end, about 3:50 🙂

Haha, yes Amy, thanks for the link, I’ve have seen that and of course there are many varations for both ballerinas as well. I’m not saying its not possible….my responce is in reference to the terms, lessons and photos I use for the site. 😉
