Hi, One of my students asked me to come up with a transition out of an advance plank into another move other than going into a cross ankle/knee release, or just sitting back up. Any ideas? Thanks

I don't have any suggestions, unfortunately, but I'll definitely be watching this thread for ideas ;)

wrist sit or remi sit

Depending on skill level....maybe reverse inverted thigh hold into a forearm stand or handstand out.

Janeiro and variations
brass monkey?
You could slide down and go into an aysha or do caterpillar back up the pole. If your that advanced you could slode down into a diva dive!! Fun
@Bonnie: How do you go into an ayesha from advanced plank. wouldn you have to turn your whole body to get it in the correct position?
Yes you do have to turn your body. If you slide your hand down that is supporting you (kind of backwards) from your plank and turn your body towards the pole, you will be in a position to attempt ayesha. You will be gripping as you would when doing caterpillar up the pole.
Bonnie: Have you tried that transition into Aysha?
Bonnie: when you side you hand down you still would have to switch the legs to the other side. because in plank your knees are facing up, in caterpillar and ayesha they would be facing down. That means when twisting into and ayesha you should get your legs of the pole before you can even twist. Just trying to imagine here how to do that without falling down. Do you have a video with that transition?
You can take plank down into a full layback, then to EG/SG/TG aysha -- doesn't take a LOT of flexibility or I wouldn't be able to do it lol. Basically you twist your body like you're going into a brass monkey from a layback, except you keep your legs straight and hold the pole at your ankles. Hands in position, twist your body, and off you go! It's my favorite way to get into an aysha because it's unexpected and looks sort of like magic. ;)

I have seen the move into ayesha called the twizzler. Here is another combo starting at 1:20 with the plank into dove or crescent then ayesha http://youtu.be/1zp3T0JTFLs
I will record tomorrow. :)
Wait, I take that back. I did have a vid--it is an early early attempt but it's easy to see what I'm doing. :) I'll post it now.

Going from an advance plank into layback twisting over into an ayasha is my favorite transition out of advance plank is too. we call it spinderella. If my student was willing to go to a layback from advance plank, there are many combos from there. But she is scared to go into a layback as she fell out of it before at another studio. I was thinking maybe going to a V sit with both hands on pole in a baseball grip, so a no sitting on wrist hello boys move might work for her
Falling out of a move is NO fun. If she doesn't want to go down except for cross-knee, then she pretty much has to go up, yes? If she's close enough to the floor she can sit back up and cast off into a fun slide (chest at pole, slide on tops of feet). She can sit up into hello boys and bring one leg up to cross over the pole at the back of the ankle, catch with the same hand, then swing the other one around to the back of the pole to an inverted position. Kyra showed this move at a B+P streaming class recently. I *dug* it soooo much. :)
Sassylina: Im not exactly sure what you are saying about the knees but as I thought about it your hips would be on the wrong side of the pole for ayesha. It s a cool transition in theory!But sliding down into the diva dive would be awesome. Lina: I have not tried the aysha part of this transition but now I want to go home and play and see if there is a way to get into it without falling!lol

I can see it from a tread from hello boys to 1 sided superman PJ Piglet Poles.

Been teaching my students from an OLD Felix routine (2006 when she won her 1st Ms Pole Dance Australia title), and she does a layback (CAR) to the iguana hold in a lunchbox position. They are all about Intermed-Adv level, but hugely differing levels of back flexibiltiy, yet they have all had some success with it, so maybe your student can too? Just maybe 1st practice kinda close to floor & u spotting her (hold her hips, ready to slow her down towards a handstand or to land onto her soulders) in case she doesn't have the grip strength, esp in that position... Tip: arching the back may seem scarier but it totally helps balance things out AND secure the grip...
