• Make sure you circle your inside leg behind the pole to help get it on the pole.
• Keep your core engaged to help control the spin.
• Test the flexibility in your shoulder(s) by trying the Pixie Spin position from the floor before trying this spin.
• Your outside leg can be straight in front of the pole, or bent behind it.
• Always know how to land.
