Chair-Hand Position
-
Veena-I use it for chair and carousal. See spin reel video. I learned it using Vertical Dance DVDs. I may switch now, though I find it harder with half-bracket.

Working from a remote computer so my view is slightly skewed….Anna does a one-handed in this vid but I’m not certain I’ve got the time correct…I believe it’s at about 1:30. She wraps her arm arond her legs and does a one handed chair.

Ok thank you Velvet, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I have never seen a chair done that way. I would just be careful with that bottom arm, it puts unnecessary strain on it.

Veena-luckily this topic made me aware that there was a different way. Even if it was taught on a good DVD and it does work, I’m all for doing it a different way if its better. Just another great thing about forums. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks so much for that link. That is a great example and you are correct with the time, it is at 1:30 in the video.

I think your confusion is part of the point Veena…some people are forcing themselves to use the full bracket because they can support themselves but don’t realize that they are actually hurting themselves both by the un-natural position of the wrist and by trying to use the bottom hand for support. Not to mention you don’t get yourself fully forward when your oustide arm is positioned downward.
I do not use the bottom hand for support at all, just to push away from the pole. I was taught it with the full bracket and have never hurt myself in over a year of doing it that way. Although I did try the half bracket version and found it much easier. Unfortunately, protocol at the studio I work for is still the full bracket and they won’t change it.

I learned it half bracket, but now I want to try it full bracket. I also like one handed chair (would that be quarter bracket?-just kidding).
