Use the lower body strength routine https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e9d171-5724-43b2-8784-47960a9aa0eb 2 x a week to improve strength and active flexibility needed for this. The sexy legs and abs would be great too!

In addition to that, begin this hold/position with knees bent, allowing you to pull the thighs high, imagine being a frog ðŸ¸ then extend the legs from that position. Chances are you wont be able to fully extend at first but keep at it. Remember not to over do it tho, 10 try’s then move on. Good luck!

Yep, when in doubt, take it out! As a judge or spectator, I dislike feeling as though the dancer may fall or is dancing outside of their abilities! I don’t care how advanced your tricks are I want to be entertained, tell me a story or show me your soul ðŸ’œ

This thread gave me an idea! I was thinking it might be fun to get together at a park to meet up and play!! I realize I have a lot of equipment we could use….. 3 stage poles, one stage could have the lollypop lyra on it, I also have an Xpole A frame for Hammock and lyra, along with many hula hoops of various sizes. We could make it a potluck and bring snacks to share! If I have time, a get together before the winter rain would be fun!

What do you guys think?

How strong is your caterpillar, and how are you entering into the butterfly? I teach caterpillar before butterfly because it helps you learn to stack the body and improves strength.
