Pixie/pretzel spin

Dancing Paws · 2011-07-24T15:08:41+00:00

Is there any special trick to nailing the pixie spin? I just cannot get it. I am really good at reverse grabs, and I can get my body shifted over enough (I think). I can't get my darn leg wrapped around the pole. It's like I don't bend that way and I feel like I am gonna break a rib. I can get my armpit to touch the pole but I cannot twist. Maybe I don't have the momentum?? That one is a doozy.

I hot my leg around a couple of times!!! Yay!!!! Now if I could keep rotating and not look like I am constipated.

LOL 😀 I did some practice yesterday and was able to get the position, now just need to get into and keep the spin going at the same time. i actually loved this position as a way to really stretch the chest and shoulders. surprised i'm not more sore today....

Try wrapping yourself on the pole in the finishing move. That is how I learned. It helps you to realize how you should be on the pole in the end of the trick. From there find the easiest way to get into that position while moving on the pole. Hope I helped!
