Does anyone know what the "Sidewinder" is? A new student mentioned it in class and asked me how to do it but couldn't explain it well and I have no idea what she is talking about as I don't THINK I've ever heard a move by that name? I'm guessing it's known by another name?

its a new trick to the Sfactor cirriculum. it's like a fireman but you catch your trailing leg and switch to a fireman halfway through.
I think she has a friend who is in SF...that would explain it. She explained it like she saw it on youtube. So if I understand that's the one where turn to hook your outside leg on the pole and keep the second leg straight or bent but out behind you as you spin then bring it in to the pole at the end?
Sort of like the move at 1:09 in this vid but bringing that back leg into a fireman at the end? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-91dxevuis
no... sorry when i meant trailing leg, i meant the one that is "trailing" i meant your right leg-- i tink of this as a sort of fireman variation, where your leading leg (left leg) is the one that is hooking. more like 1/3 thru this video: http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2823 or 10 secnds into this one (this one is OOOOLD): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS9WadnQBOA
Ahh, I know that one as the Dragonfly spin, and can be done as leading leg dragonfly, or trailing leg dragonfly. I'm not sure where I heard the name though... I think one of our students may have brought it back from Singapore??
ooooooooooh......fireman leg switch! LOL. OK.. That makes sense. You do it VERY nicely by the way Amyxshi!
thanks empy! 😂
The first half of the move is known as 'Hollywood spin' in Australia (inside leg hooked at the back, outside leg sticking out horizontally), and the second half is a standard fireman. So that would be called a Hollywood into Fireman, to me. 👍
