It wasn’t a problem with the name of the Russian Flirt, maybe for me it’s more of a strength or flexibility issue, or both, which is why I find it very difficult to perform a Big Russian. For example, I’ve realized that it’s easier for me to do it with my arms bent, or that I can get into the same position starting from a…Read more

I can see that she holds the fabric high so than she can make a figure 8 FL. I may have a thicker fabric but I can try it on another fabric that may be a bit easier to work with for fabric management. Aside from that, I’m still using my hands to switch b…Read more

I thought this sequence was easy because it’s short. But when I started trying it…… whaaaaa, a splitty and leg strength challenge indeed! Thanks for the gorgeous poses. If I have a 180° split with right leg in front, but only a 160° (or less) split with left leg in front. Would you recommend that I make the footlock on my right foot instead…Read more

Still not seeing where things get funky except that when you go into the archer, all of the crosses may need to be together at the hip rather than spread out both at the hip and between the thighs so they can all cancel each other out and let you go.
