- Separate silks and create Dancer’s Locks
- Slowly squat down in the silks, knees on the outsides of the poles
- Release poles, guide hands under the knees (from the outside), and regrab poles under the knees, thumbs on top towards leg/ceiling
- Kick off Dancer’s locks, straddle, pose
- Bend knees, guiding feet, from front to back, between the tails, then out and around tails, back to straddle (tails now drape over the leg)
- Bend knees, forward rotate, loosen grip as you flip to allow a little extra silk to go around legs, release tails, pose
- To Exit: Big situp, grab poles, pull up, shake silks off
