shoulder hold drops! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRFVFOA-VRQ 4:39 they aren’t as big of a drop but they always scare excite crowd!
-
There is also a nose dive and the "sad girl" drop, again not as scary of a drop but still impressive.
Veena just did a video of one that she posted up.
-
is there a tutorial of the sad girl drop? I really wanna try but I’m kinda scared I’d just break my ankle. lol.
-

I loooove the sadgirl drop! It’s so pretty! I can’t wait until I’m able to do it.
-
yaaay thanks veena!

Depends how you define a drop, I guess…
Is the nose dive an Inverted Crucifix Slide starting up the pole and stopping inches/cms from the ground?
I’ve seen a Jade Split dropped and caught.
Actually… heaps of single moves could be dropped/slid and caught, probably… or dropped and caught with another move. I’ve caught hip holds and jade splits by twisting into a thigh hold when I’ve practiced them and accidently fallen out.
Discussed in another thread was a tucked sit/drama queen to CAR.

Cool topic. I posted a list of drops on another site last week because I’m LOVING the drops. We did a drops workshop in Jamaica last fall too – it was a blast.
Veena….that is a great combo. Have you come up with a name for it yet?
Here is what we came up with so far:
Death Drop: (Crucifix to floor)
Skater Split drop to sit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UX1320Hq4Y (2:42)
Jade Drop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCECAMrFmBQ (3:28)
Figurehead to Shoulder Dismount to Splits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo1WJcB3SU4 (3:10..you may want to turn the sound down as it’s extremely distorted)
Knee Hold To Scorpio – Same Side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTWU8zUsfeA (3:46)
Knee Hold to Scorpio – opposite Side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjT9Qao6za0&NR=1
Cupid to Scorpio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55fWyyda … div-r-6-HM (2:37)
Superman to Scorpio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9JxpU4iCmw (30 sec)
Scorpio to inverted Bomb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOWKITKvhd4 (2:31)
Pole Sit to Bomb:
Sit to Brass Monkey to Flag Dismount: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXSk8c-C1O4 (5:07)
Figurehead to Scorpio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMYKwmOASjI
The link that Chemmie posted is similar to the Pole Sit to bomb that I couldn’t find a video example of…I do it with my legs straight and out in front slightly to the side if that makes sense.
-
There is also the Doom Drop…Cross Ankle Release to dead stop at floor.
-
Some people actually stop before they hit the floor on that one? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Seriously is that the one where you are sitting up a bit so your back is parallel with the floor or do you stay lying back the whole time? Any links?
-
I can do the Sitting Doom and the Straight Doom..
The only other dancer I have ever seen do this is Alena Downs…she has the sitting doom in one of her videos…but I was actually able to catch her doing the Straight Doom on a 22′ pole! It WAS SOOOO COOL!! She just let go of her ankles and dropped like a rocket!! She stopped inches away from the floor! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Saks4JkZXZ8 2:40 ish she does the sitting doom as a slide.
-
That’s the same vid I first saw the seated version on….I don’t believe I’ve ever seen her do the straight one! That must look great!.
I first saw the "death drop" (crucifix drop) to the floor when Fawnia and I went to a local strip club in Chicago….the girl was on about an 18 foot pole and not only dropped super fast but arched her chest out suddenly at the bottom so that her body fell a bit further. It was incredible because you thought she had already hit the floor with her face before your mind registered that she arched forward!
Unfortunately she came up to talk to us and was so high she could barely slur her words out!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
-
just watched all the vids in this thread…WOW!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Veena..the new one you are doing is called the Jasmine Drop..you can use it to go into an aysha, SM, oposing gemini or even a flag dismount!!
That is one of Jenyne’s signature moves!! nice! I watch that move again and again to see what I can drop it to!
-
Thank you Empy for the list of drops and links too!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
No, I have not giving my latest drop a name….I do another drop, its a Knee hold then a drop into the Shoulder Dismount. Its really scary https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I Know I have a vid of it but can’t seem to remember which one or where it is, I love my shoulder mounts and dismounts!
-
Knee hold to SM…interesting. My SM is my strongest move so it’s my favorite too.
-
Knee hold to shoulder dismount? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
I’d love to see a vid of that, because I can’t figure how you’d get your hands right for the dismount in time to…well…not eat it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-
I looked through my vids……I remember it was in the "Lick" vid https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif You’ll have to sit through till near the very end because this was uploaded on the old video player so you can’t fast forward https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

This was the first ever drop that I learned to do. I learned it off this exact video. Alena is the only one I have ever seen do this. I would love to see the straight version! The woman is incredible.
I was amazed at how easy the Jasmine Drop really is. I find it hard to play with this one at home though. It almost started looking like a mistake as we kept rewinding and watching, lol! But I think both Jen and I got it the night we saw the vid https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
