    So it’s like a lateral shoulder roll but you start with your legs together laying on the ground, and then keeping them together roll them like you’re tracing numbers on a clock, ending in the same starting position

    “Like a lateral shoulder roll,” so is this move requiring you to roll over as in a backwards somersault? Or is this just a leg-only kind of move? Is there something specific about this one that is unlike a shoulder roll, or is that the basis of the move? Are you rolling over your shoulder, or something else? Are you laying on your back, or front? What are your start and end positions when it comes to hips, back, head…?
    Is there possibly a video you could do, or show us, in order to clear all this up? Are you wanting to learn how to do the move?

    Is this an entire body roll supported by back shoulders and you grab pole in downward cup position? May have seen this. But you need to clarify a little more l think. It may not even have a name, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, it may have several names. Good luck with that.

    But the move I’m referring to is at 1:45, is there a name for it?

    OK I am showing my age but that looks like a pole version of a break dance helicopter move. Just sayin’. I’m sure it actually has a more pole appropriate name!

    It’s a shoulder roll variation holding the pole. Not a beginner move, despite what it says on the video!

    I don’t have a specific name for it when using the pole for support, but it would not be a beginner move as Tropical mentioned. Here is a lesson that might help with the variation using the pole that you shared with us. Same concept but in your video the pole is used to help with stability. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54a1a0f2-dec4-4fb9-9def-40760a9aa0eb

    This lesson also has some cool shoulder roll/stand combos in it. Sneaky V floor work https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5640bccd-2da0-49d0-981c-5411ac110089
