Someone asked for the name of a pole move involving a pretzel position where the top arm releases and grabs the foot. They had seen it done at a jam and by a specific instructor, but couldn't find a video.
What the replies say: Many members identified the move as the 'Ballerina', 'Stag', 'Skater Split', or 'Flying Ballerina', noting several variations exist. There was discussion about different entry points and body positions, and some shared experiences with bruising while learning the move.
