Need help with the move Hello boys!
-
Cool thanks guys. I think of it more as a plank too. I like twisted plank or attitude plank. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif

I always thought the move pictured is a version of plank as well. I also thought the difference between the hello boys and the wrist seat is that the hello boys has both hands on top rather than one below to sit on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

I Know the one with both hands on top as a Tail Sit. Misleading name because you really don’t want to sit on your tailbone ouch!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

I totally agree Veena. I don’t like calling it Tail Sit or Tail Split simply because in teaching it in a classroom full of people I imagine many will think the placement is on the tailbone. Can we come up with a better name for this? Advanced hello boys maybe?

Yeah I like advanced hello boys….I call hello boys a wrist sit though so I’m not sure what I’ll call this one…advanced V sit Idk. lol

In Art of Pole DVD, Jamilla calls wrist seat as hello boys. While with both hands on top, she calls it advanced hello boys. Names, names..everyone’s confused. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Naming it can become involved as this move can safely be done with either hold…wrist sit type method or the split grip. It simply depends on placement and the angle of the body.
I think in one it’s a variation of the wrist seat and in another it’s a variation of the plank…just as we have many moves that have different variations of the legs or arms, etc. A cross knee layback is still a layback as a cross ankle laybe is a layback. etc.
I believe it’s more advanced when doing the plank version of this move and the wrist seat version is easier…though you have to be very careful of the alignment of the wrist/hand to avoid damage.
It’s also much easier for less flexible dancers to do the wrist seat method.
If interested you can see quite clearly how I get into it in this video at 3:33. Unfortunately there was a long intro so to skip all the talking the dancing actually starts at 2:35.
