I might be cheating on my straight edge split!
Ok so I just got the straight edge split but as you can see in the video I posted, part of one of my thighs is still slightly resting against the pole. In a lot of pictures I see of this move the dancer is holding herself away from the pole so I’m wondering it still "counts" since I’m not quite holding all of my weight. I guess either way I’m still supporting most of my weight on my own and this will help me be able to do a straight edge but I’m wondering if you have to hold your body away from the pole for it to technically be a straight edge split? I know I’m getting very picky here but since I’m self taught I want to learn the correct way of doing things! Thanks everyone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Glitter, I’m so proud of you! First off, you are not cheating….you just got the move. Once you get more comfortable and stronger in the position, the more you will move your legs and body away from the pole. you got to start somewhere! If I remember correctly, you used the elbow grip. I found that I did the same thing at first…my body was real close to the pole and initially one leg was close to, if not touching the pole until I learned where my center of balance was. You’ll get there! Keep up the good work!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
