Today’s move is with Ilyan Keay of Newtown. This is Sports Acrobatics style balance but could also be fun to try for Pole Dancers due to their advanced specific upper body conditioning. Pole Dancing – without the pole!

Inverted Wheel

Today’s move is with Charlotte of Charlotte Dodson Yoga. This is an example of Partner Acrobatics for Yogis. The lower back is always carefully supported in this move and the Base hamstrings are facilitated a good stretch. Both sides should be balanced to ensure body balance of both Flyer and Base.

Supported Full Backbend

Today’s move is with Michelle Shimmy of The Pole Dance Academy. This is an example of advanced Partner Acrobatics for Yoga.

Safety Point: Base has to be particularly alert when performing this as the Flyer’s weight will move around a lot while entering into the pose.
