Thank you everybody for you help! I’ll see what she says on Tuesday 🙂
-
Also, the pole was meant to be on my lower back? But it kept being below my bum like hers seems to be? Yet I was the only one who couldn’t do it!
-
Yes! That last move! Where you’re feet aren’t off the floor what so ever but just fall! She wanted us to do it froma standing still position and found it really hard to get right :/ Anyone know what the move is called? Or is it actually mermaid? As I thought mermaid actually involved you’re feet being off the floor?
-
Sort of but she stays vertical. Where as you actually fall fully back around the pole, try the link I posted with the 10 seconds noted, as thats what I’m trying to describe. The rest of the move she does isn’t the same, but when she does it without the hook, thats what I’m trying to do. Sorry about this
-
It was very similar to that one! Only the legs aren’t hooked! 🙂
-
I will! I’ve found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r51eszjhJPE&app=desktop of the dying move. It isn’t the full move, but more a broken down part of it. The exact fall she does between 0:35 and around 0:45, NOT the bit where she hooks her legs, but simply the fall. I know it’s really simple! But I literally can’t get my hips right, I lean more into the pole than actually falling back (I have no idea how I’m doing this…God help me!) my bum sort of gets stuck on the pole, and then when I’m on the floor, the damn pole is below my bum rather than on my lower back! Literally failing so much at this move! :’) I know it’s only my first lesson but everybody else managed it so easily!
-
-without- wrapping your legs around the pole, but rather, together on the same side as the pole as your body?
-
(Apologies for the spamming on this post!) but aha! I found a picture which helps me describe it! Imagine standing with one leg infront of your pole and your other leg firmly on the ground (both touching the ground) and falling back so you’re like this: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gaqtHcOL-jw/hqdefault.jpg where you then drop and tuck your knees in as you slightly spin on the pole to twist?
-
The problem is, you don’t actually (from what I saw and was taught) use your legs to grip or hook the pole at all? You simply fall backwards and as you do, your whole body sort of contorts around the pole in a slight spin as you end up ont he floor with your knees tucked in. Really hope this helps, trying to find it is sending me insane!
-
Ahh no, it isn’t the dying spin I’m afraid! Trying to learn the, erm, technical terms 😛 To help describe, but from looking at the gallery of grips, you start off with something like the partial split grip, but more to your side as you’re stood infront of the pole? I may have to attempt a paint drawing on my laptop to try and explain as I’m not very good at this :’) haha
-
Wow the responses are great! My internet connection is terrible so its taking a while to load, but so far managed to look at the back spiral and it is very similar although both feet are kept on the floor and the leg isn’t extended (Well, it is to start with, but becomes bended as you, in a sense, curl up as you hit the floor almost.
-
Yes it does keep both feet on the floor! Glad somebody remembers it! Currently looking at the links everybody has sent 🙂 But hopefully I’ll find it!
-
It’s very similar to the back bend slide, only you wrap your actual body around the pole? If that makes any sense?
-
Nope! Not that one either! Neither legs were wrapped around the pole, only twisting around it instead. Sorry about this! Just really want to know what its called!
-
Sort of! Only you wrap yourself around the pole as you go down (almost spinning -imagine a snake going round the pole-) You sort of fall, with yourself wrapping around the pole, bending both legs, and fall so you’re on the floor. Not sure if thats any more descriptive or helpful!
