Arabesque Sequence

• Climb, single footlock with silks together
• Flamenco opposite-side hand (of the foot that is locked) high on poles
• Dive same-side hand through triangle created by the pole, opposite hand, and body
• Guide shoulders and upper body through so that pole is placed along the back
• Place same-side hand on lower pole between hip and locked foot while placing upper pole under opposite-side armpit
• Arch body and press into the silk with your back, while also pushing with the bottom hand (locked foot might tilt towards the front, this will help with balance)

*This is Arabesque

• Bring bottom hand up to match the opposite-hand on the upper pole
• Sink bottom down into pike while bringing free leg over the pole
• Let go with sameside-hand, pose
• Match hands high on pole and bring knee back over the pole (reverse direction)
• Begin turning body so that pole is at your back, regripping as needed, remove footlock
