    Hi! I echo the part about no slack in the first split – I too have short legs. I also echo the part about not having a 180 degree split so dropping into the slack is a little scary (and maybe the lack of too much slack there is a good thing). So I look forward to the answers to those questions!

    I have another question that is about the transition from the first split (after shaking the wrap off the front loop) into the second split. Chanel showed two options – a flamenco hold and rotating the body up and over, OR just moving the loose silk loop. I feel like each of the two different methods leaves the wrapped leg in a different position? The flamenco method leaves the leg less wrapped (doesn’t spinning the body that direction undo a wrap?) and maybe in a more comfortable position vs. NOT doing the flamenco. But when I watch the video, it doesn’t look like there’s any difference. What am I doing wrong? Because I think I prefer the position after the flamenco. But the other method is easier!

    Thank you, and I’ve really enjoyed this month’s challenge so far!
