Superman dismount – moves list
-
Videos would be nice. I have tried the fall over and over again. I even had a workshop where Karol herself spotted me and showed me. I have a mental block about it. I just kinda slide out. Lol!!!
-
Yes! I love the look of the fall over and over way of getting out. Right now, I am working on loosening the thigh grip so my legs can gently slide down the pole. Right now, I slide a bit then get stuck….slidea bit more and get stuck. It's the choppy way of sliding down : )

I'm uploading a clip now of what I was talking about since I actually did one in my disappointing pole practice last night. My connection is slow so I will put a link when it is uploaded. BUT, I am certain there are many others who could post very beautiful entry's and exits, this is not pretty haha! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Ok. Here it is but I promise it's nothing spectacular, haha.

I was just wondering about various superman dismounts too, thanks! 🙂 Going to try Tiffany's crazy drop ASAP!
Superman into cradle is my favourite 🙂

With superman, I think you can get out of it in any way you get it. I.e – you can enter superman from "side V" (look at Veena's lessons for names), and you can go back there by reversing the move. You go into position from pike hip hold by holding the pole above you and pushing yourself into position, and you can go back there as well.
Thinking about it like that really simplified the superman for me. By the way – if you look closely at the superman drop, for example, you will see that it is just superman returned to pike hip hold and then switched into scorpio really fast. If you think about it like that, it is (a) not as scary to do, and (b) allows you to "drop" into whatever position you can go to from the pike, which is more versatile than being locked into the scorpio variation.
Two superman variations that require back flexibility –
1. hold both hands on the pole above your head and bend your legs up as much as possible (my teacher can almost reach the pole with them as well). You will look pretty and spin faster.
2. Bring your upper arm (the one that is holding the pole) down and move in to the same side of the pole as your other arm, so that the pole is on the front of the shoulder. Extend your arms. You are so pretty!!
There are probably cool things you can do from there since your hands are free (holding your leg?), but I'm not flexible enough for this move so I never tried…I can try to make a video of these ideas, if you want…

Amy I watched the video but I was expecting a cradle as in a cradle position for cradle spin, or a cradle v. Is that what you did and I just missed it completely..? Or are you calling it a cradle and maybe it has another name..? I’m glad this discussion is still going. And thanks unmystifing the superman drop! I look forward to trying that 😀
-
I paused in cradle right before the butterfly. You don’t have to lean it back as far as I did; some people call it an advanced jamilla or apprentice.
-
Yes! Ok, I thought it was apprentice. I don’t know why but I can only make that move look nice just sometimes… It seems like sometimes there is more pressure on my bottom arm as soon as I lean back. Felix and Felix make this look so effortless. It is like veenas thigh rest except with the bottom leg bent. I can’t do it slow and hold it, so I just end up hopping into it and move into whatever else–butterfly or superman when I can thread that leg through. Time to do some apprentice drills… And thanks! I read you blog, a lot! 🙂

Thanks for the video Amy!
