Moves you dont like?

Spatchcock. Kudos to those who can do it, but it's never looked elegant to me.
-
@Frenchhorndiva I didn't like the way it looked so painful, but then I saw a really nice variation that Felix did that looked a lot more natural and graceful
It's more about middle splits than a strong straddle. And the pole is lower down on the back.
-
never cared for the flatline scorpio too much… love LOVE LOVE regular scorpio though
-
The CAR (ok,ok maybe its because Im not able to get it) but after I let it go, I starting thinking, that it looks too effortless, like "hey look at me, I can tilt backwards" – Great, just like every kid on the playground. Hehe.. Might be a slight jealousi thing. Never like front hook and back hook. They dont look beautful, but I learned them, because I can use them as transition. And the recently, I've seen people beginning to do the ayesha with feet pointing down, like flexing them, and I dont understand why you should mess up a beautiful line..
-
Ooh, I love front and back hook! I think they can look really graceful if done well 🙂 I agree about the side climb, I've only seen a couple of people make it look good, Dirdy Birdy springs to mind. But everything looks amazing when she does it 😛
-
Iron x. V leg teddy (I love one arm hold variations just not the actual "teddy" do it with pinup legs or piked legs love it), janero, flag.
I love the back hook nothing like flying it down to the ground ending up totally flat with legs bent back then bringing legs out from under you to bridge grind.
-
Teddy and most strength moves (flags, iron x and such). Unfortunately, strength moves are the easiest for me.
-
Fonji. It's super impressive but something about it in routines makes me go 'oooh….hmmm…meh'
Any move that requires a flexed foot – if the move cannot be done without flexing the foot it shouldn't be done at all, no matter how fancy it is imo. Saying that I still flex my foot just climbing lol
I like the side climb! but the one where you have your outside leg on the front of the pole and both legs climb the pole together rather than hooking the inside knee and pulling up…
-
By the way, my teacher has a very pretty side climb. But she makes everything look pretty 🙂
-
Something about the side climb looks like your hoisting yourself up
-
Ladies! I love all the moves 🙂 Lol

I agree with those of you who said they dislike the V legged variation of the teddy. Also, the V sit. While I realize this is taught as a foundational move by a lot of instructors and I can do it/practice it myself, I just think both of these moves bring a little too much attention to the crotch! lol. Especially teddy, where you grab your inner thighs like your basically "pointing" to it! Just not an artistic/stylistic preference of mine.
Another move I don't find visually appealing: Remi Sit. I've never actually tried it. I know everyone says it's hard/painful and I'm def one of those dancers who love to torture themselves with moves like this, but I just don't think it looks good enough to bother with. LOL.
-
Spatchcock. It just looks so freaky. The ONLY reason I want to be flexible enough to do it is to freak people out.
Straddle teddy – just unladylike. Close the legs and it's ok.
Personally, any move that puts the head as the first thing that will hit the ground: iguana, bow and arrow
I sorta think the regular marley looks silly, but the hands free variation (bird) is ok (I do that one.)
Rocketman looks silly, but I understand it is in intermediate to a yogini and roketwoman, so yeah…
-
that rocketman isnt a favorite.. but i like the yogini so i am working on it.. i suppose
-
I totally forgot to add the WRIST SIT! I personally find that it irritates my wrists, so I opt for the straddle back version with hands up and body horizontal. The wrist sit is just not secure with sweaty hands…
