Piglet, I've found that dropping the outside leg as low as you can get it (before you need to reach for your foot) really helps to get a better range of motion with your back. I learned that while working on the Dragon and it translated over to the Allegra.

Thank you RikkiL! Today that is exactly what I did; drop my extended leg and my bottom arm touched the pole, but it is not pretty!…I'll just keep plugging away..my Hand and bottom foot are no way near meeting each other….But I know they will some day, I feel the romance!

So glad it helped you, Piglet! Good luck with it – it's a very uncomfortable one to learn. Warming up with the Dragon a few times before doing the Allegra always seems to help a bit too. 😉

Rikkil what is the dragon?
ah Allegra – my nemisis too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
I've also been told that changing the grip so the back of your hand is facing you is another way of doing it. It doesn't suit me personally but it may help someone else https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

The Dragon is just a Scorpio variation. Some people have a hard time getting their arms in place for it and I found that the motion was very similar for the Allegra.

aha ok, I know the one 🙂 thanks for posting the pic – had seen the move but didn't know what it was called
