Section 1: Introduction and course expectations

Introduction

Hi everyone and welcome to my hook and roll static spin course. Please make sure you have fully warmed up before taking part in any classes. I have created a warmup video which is available for you to purchase on this platform and you can use as many times as you like to prep your body before you start any training. There is a print out available for you to download as well so you can get started right away :)

What you will learn

Here is a demonstration of the course content. I recommend that you have at least completed my “Introduction to pole fitness course” and a couple of my beginners basic spins, which are all available to purchase, if you are a beginner. It’s not essential, but they give you a really great understanding of the basics and fundamentals for pole which will allow you to access more of my mixed ability level spins and make them more readily achievable.

If you have been poling for a while, you will love this spin combo and you can start to really apply some momentum to create some gorgeous flowing spins.

If you are familiar with this entry I have popped the actual hook and roll spin into its own section so you can practice any of these elements in which ever order you’re happier with.

Section 2: Hook and Roll

how to do a hook and roll

Here is the breakdown of how to perform your hook and roll spin, as a spin on its own. I will also demonstrate the position from the floor as well so you can practice your positioning first. Its so important to know what your bosy needs to do first, this will help avoid any injuries and mistakes.

linking the entry to your hook and roll

This video will show you how to transition straight from our entry into the Hook and Roll. I will also show you the start and stop points for more beginner level students, but also how to start to keep the rotation going so that the spin is continuous for more confident polers.

Section 3: Exiting from your Hook and Roll

static floor rotation to exit from your spin

I really love teaching my students ways in and out of tricks and spins because it massively helps in building combos and making transitions easier. Here is one of my favourite exits that can be done on the floor- but also up the pole for more advanced students! (tutorial hopefully coming soon!)

Section 4: Linking everything together and outro

Working through from our entry, into our main spin and finishing with our exit

The exciting part where it all links nicely together and you can practice and make your new combo look amazing!
