Invert

Inverts are a big milestone and very exciting, but before working on these, you really need to understand and have a solid side pole hold. Once you can consistently invert with a leg sweep (controlled momentum), then you can move on to the V invert (chopper) tutorial. The chopper tutorial is where you'll learn skills and drills for spinning pole.

This tutorial is suitable for all levels because I teach positioning from the floor first. This means even brand new dancers can start learning proper placement!

If you want to learn even more about why I teach inverts the way I do, check out my Ultimate Guide to Inverts videos.
