guys…. this pic looks like more of a Cradle spin…for that… your not resting the bottom thigh on the pole. Just tucking the body in to the pole. I call it a "thigh rest" not Cradle hold because your literally resting the pole on the top of the bottom thigh. In my mind a cradle is different than a thigh rest. Here is the lesson

Runemist…are resting the bottom leg on the pole?
-
This is a strength building move….
When you say you can't bring the legs up what do you mean??
Are you trying to bring them up in to a V position?
Can you bring up the bottom leg but not the top?
Are you trying to bring them up in to a tuck?
Are you sure your using the bicep and not fully extending the top arm?
Is your thigh resting against the pole or are you only using your upper body?
Holding in a tuck position is the first step…opening into V is going to take time and is much for difficult. Remember you don't want all the pressure and weight on the bottom arm and…you need to engage the shoulders use the top bicep and your abs to hold as you lift your bottom leg into place against the pole. Shorter or lighter dancers will find this move easier than someone taller or heavier.

I don't feel your should be grabbing your feet in the Marley until you are strong enough and flexible enough to hold the position without grabbing. If you don't have the strength and flexibility and your grabbing the feet you can put too much stress on the knee.

I just use the term Bow and Arrow for all…..different hand placements are only variations of the Bow and Arrow to me.

Here is an OLD Tutorial I did for a friend. Its not very in depth but it will give you a few positions and tips for working on the splits. Once my foot is healed I'll be adding more stretches to the lessons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMEGqdgGRs

@Calipolepixie. hooping alone will not result in abs of steel. The results you see as far as abs go are more related to loss of fat. Hooping, when your new to it can be great cardio. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifYou will see better tone to your abs and I'm not saying it wont work your abs just don't expect to have super cut abs from only hooping.
As far as how soon will you see results, that will vary from person to person.

Good point robyn…Vinegar is acidic. I wouldn't use it to dry out my hands on my titanium finish pole. Chrome if it has been applied properly should be ok but to clean the pole your always safer going with alcohol. I think we were just talking about using it on your hands? I would keep something else around to clean the pole. I'm lucky I don't have sweaty hands I have to deal with dry hands https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
