How to Make your Butterfly Effortless: Use THIS Pole Dance technique

26. October 2021 by Miglena

So you’ve been conditioning for months and working on nailing your invert…

You’re slowly feeling stronger and more comfortable in you leg hangs…

And now the Butterfly is the next move on your list.

Still, being completely upside down feels absolutely terrifying. And with the Butterfly, it almost feels like the only thing you’re holding yourself up with is your hands.

If that’s you, the Handstand Butterfly will help you overcome your fear and build up upper-body strength.

Different scenario: the Butterfly is a go-to move in your routines. You might even get annoyed that you always land in this shape and you end up repeating the same moves every time.

Well, you might be surprised to hear that even if it doesn’t feel difficult to you, you’re probably putting in way more effort than necessary.

Many advanced students go into a “simple” Butterfly from more difficult, strength-based entries (like Jamila). All of a sudden, I notice them muscling up. Their facial expressions changes from normal to strained.

You can get into your Butterfly much more easily WITHOUT muscling up.

This is one of the things I taught in my Butterfly classes.

And in this video tutorial, you’ll learn crucial tips and tricks that will make your Butterfly look and feel effortless.

    Headstands- making shapes with my legs in a headstand have helped me make those same shapes and variations in my butterfly on the pole.
