Reverse Knee Hook

  • Reverse knee hook is a similar motion as Flamenco, just using your leg instead of your arm
  • With silks together to one side, pike up while rotating body towards silk
  • Raise opposite-side hip towards the ceiling, tails will drape across lap, both legs will be on the other side of the silk
  • Take the top leg and bring it around the poles (bring towards you, in front, first, then around the side, and bend knee hard, squeeze
  • Re-grab same-side hand above the knee, then re-grab the other hand to match
  • Pull up and swing free leg out from under the tails (tails were over lap, over both legs, by this motion, you are placing the tails between your legs, only over the leg of the hooked knee)
  • You are now in Thigh Hitch
  • To exit: straddle back, re-grab same knee higher on the pole, re-grab hands on the pole above the knee, pull up, and shake off silks
