Unidentified Pole Move? Jenyne?

Thanks, Allegra! I think that name sounds great.

Here’s the method I used to get into this pose.
From a pole sit, I duck my torso down as far as I can get it, and put my lower hand on the pole first. I then arch my back as far as I can get it, using my lower hand to guide my torso position, and reach for the pole with my top hand. With both my hands on the pole, I pull myself up and around a little, to twist so that my back is on the pole, and not my side/hip, and then position my top arm with bicep on the pole. Then I straighten out my legs, which slightly slows the spin while locking the body in place, and then let go with my lower hand. It’s rough, so if any of you know an easier way to get into this pose I’d love to try it. Otherwise I’ll have to keep using this method until I can get it looking a little bit more graceful!
Am loving this move right now, though!

omg. i just watched that video and my mouth was open the entire time. i think i gasped a few times too. she’s amazing!!!! and veena interviewed her, how cool!

The whole video was amazing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I wanna do that what looked like an inverted aerial shoulder mount at 0:53. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

It’s a BEAUTIFUL move. I haven’t tried it with the bottom leg extended, but I’m going to soon give it a go. It’s quite a twist to get the outside arm around the pole. Be careful of the shoulder. You need good shoulder flexibility.

I also did a workshop with her a couple months ago. She taught me this one too.
She calls it a twisted ballerina with the lower leg still supporting but then it becomes a flying ballerina when the lower leg is extended off the pole. I am pretty sure that is what she said.

Thank you PoleChamp! That sounds exactly right, im glad I can identify it now https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Stellarmotion did a great job of displaying how to get into it here, more slowly and closer up than Jenyne’s video..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGMnb1RDPT4I can see where this looks like twisted ballerina… Jenyne taught us this one but I dont remember it very well… I do remember it was a lot easier to get into than what David is doing to get into it… so it seems like if you try to go into it straight from twisted ballerina as opposed to bending down and twisting your arm up the pole, you’d fall off?
Does anyone have a video of jenyne or anyone doing twisted ballerina for comparison?
I tried this move last night and only got about half way there, I got the pole around my upper arm but not in my armpit, so it didn’t seem stable enough to let go. Going to try again as soon as I get over being sick.

Hey MissJulie, if you look at my page… theres only one video I posted & I got into the flying ballerina from twisted ballerina. I found this easier. I found that the grip is NOT in my armpit, but on my upper bicep… I found that my arm wouldnt stay in place, when i attempted to release my bottom foot… my whole body would twist causing my bicep to lose its position of grip. (if that mades any sense) This is why I do this move on spinny mode… because my body weight shifts the pole, not my arm positioning. I have yet to try it on static again, but I hope this helps!

i just had a total epiphany with this move last night. IT MATTERS WHICH WAY YOU SPIN!!! i’m taking my pole to the left side, so i should be starting with the left arm up for the climb. i’ve been doing it the opposite way with only 10% success rate…now i know why DUH! momentum helps you get into it if you spin the right way =b.

I always thought this was a variation on reverse pencil mount. Don’t know if it has another name! Jenyne does it a lot. I’ll try it tomorrow for you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
