    That’s what I did, but i missed everything in between words 😀
    I’m actually skimming through my playlist right now. Any suggestion for a “go! go! go!” song?

    Polegirl, you were right!
    Turns out when I do an allegra, I do it with the left leg on top, then when I relax my back and grab a bottom foot I twist clockwise. The way I get into an invert (which for now is tuck and go, because it’s so much harder on the spinner) also spins the pole clockwise. When I get into the dove from superman I bend… clockwise! towards the right arm! All this means I had to do moves spinning the right way.
    After a 3 hour long practice today I kept stopping no matter what, so I decided to break it up: push off into a sorta-embrace, climb spinning clockwise, invert with left side to the pole, gemini close to the pole, allegra, scorpio, get up and gracefully slide down. Then air walk into chair into backwards knee hook spin, get down to the floor, get up, climb, invert and do dove. I’m learning it for a competition, and deadline is really soon. I decided to go with what I confidently can do and figure out the original combo when I get better at spinning :))
    Video should be made soon… whenever I get it all polished and ready:)
    Thanks!

    I don’t have to make it THAT long, I need to have an allegra (3 seconds) and the dove (3 seconds), that’s it. The rest of it was to keep it spinning. I tried pushing of harder, too, but that trows me off the pole since I have no experience. Do you see any other way to do both moves in one combo?
