Beginner Spin Pack 3
Have you nailed the first two Beginner Spin Packs and feel keen to add more spins to your arsenal? Join Filly for three more foundational spins – the Knee Spin, the Fireman Spin, and then challenge yourself with the Diamond Spin. You’ll also learn how to combo the Diamond Spin into a Back Hook!
Iguana
This trick is as spectacular as its name! Sometimes known as the Daryl Hannah, this move was named after the iconic “Dancing at the Blue Iguana”, performed by the legendary beauty, Daryl. It can be little scary to enter if you are nervous descending backwards down the pole, but Joanna will have you busting it out in no time! This majestic move is a massive crowd pleaser, and certainly look a lot harder than it actually is. Make sure you share your videos of this one, we never get sick of seeing a good Iguana!

Dove
The Dove is a beautiful and elegant shape, reminiscent of the Not Titanic and a key skill if you want to progress to the Super Dove. To attain the classic Dove shape, you will require a certain amount of flexibility in your back, so for those of you who are not so bendy in that area, Megan has an alternate version of the Dove for you to try!
Martini Sit & Dirty Martini Sit
The Martini Sit looks so much harder than it really is. Named for the shape you create (like a martini glass), this move is fun and cute and great on static or spin. As well as the basic Martini, Filly walks you through a cute-as-hell variation – the Dirty Martini. This one requires a tiny bit of flex, so make sure you’re warmed up before attempting.
Bunny Split
The best thing about the Bunny Split is that you don’t need a flat split to do it! Bunny is a fake split, and gives the illusion that you’re flexy (woohoo!). Be prepared for a bit of pole burn on the belly as this is one of your main grip points, but we promise it’ll be worth it for all the snaps you’ll get for the ‘gram!
Star
Star is as pretty as it sounds and a beautiful outside hook variation. You will need an outside leg hook for this move which you can do from an invert or from a lower down- if you’re not quite comfortable in your leg hangs yet be sure to check out those tutorials before trying this one. Star is a very versatile move that can be used as a transition move between tricks like superman or as part of a combo on static or spin pole!
Brass Monkey Split
This cute split is a classic, and super accessible once you have your Brass Monkey. And don’t worry if you haven’t touched down in your front splits yet – you don’t have to be flat for the Brass Monkey Split to look great. Have a good warmup (get those hamstrings ready), and give this one a go!
Baby Russian Split
This move looks similar to a Russian Split, but it’s a more accessible trick for those wanting to eventually progress to full Russian territory! This beautiful shape allows you to experience an inverted split with just that one foot low on the pole – pretty flashy! Join Jo as she gives a breakdown so thorough that even the most nervous among you will be happy to give it a crack!
Jade Split
The Jade Split is one of the OG crowd pleasers. Debuted in 2005 by the eponymous Jamilla DeVille (Ja…De…) the stunning line and classic beauty of this move means that few could ever tire of seeing one delivered on stage. If you don’t have a touchdown in your forward split, you may still achieve a good line in this move because it is technically not a real split. There are some key points to master in getting this baby looking flat, and Joanna is going to describe all of them for you with such clarity you will know exactly how to nail this move!
