Allegra move
-
Oh, that's looking pretty good there Shellecta. For most it's really an issue of needing more flexibility. It's difficult and nearly impossible to get into the proper positioning for moves like the Jade, Allegra and Chopsticks without flexibility. Being able to open up the hips is really important for the Allegra, this will allow you to release the top leg while keeping the pole at the back. Working on Scorpio and practicing droping the hip to add spin like I do, will help with this move.

Shellectra, your Allega still looks pretty damn good! 🙂
I had a bit of trouble releasing my top leg as well. What helped for me was keeping both hands on the pole (lower hand by the base of the pole like when you're doing a side V), stabilizing my hold, and then releasing the top leg.

OK, just uploaded a vid of me doing Jenyne's apprentice to allegra transition. I look like holy hell after 4 hours of teaching, but there you have it! 🙂 Hope it helps.

Thakn you, Otter!!! It looks great! On my list of things to try 🙂
I first got into it from Flatline Scorpio. I reach for the pole below with my free hand before I release the top leg. This way it feels more secure and less weight on the top leg. It also really rolls me with my back to the pole, which in turns feels like my thigh is gripping better. If it feels good, you can release the arm 🙂
