Russian Split

Russian Split Foundations

By Ally Cat

The Russian Split sits at the top of many pole dancers ‘lust have’ lists. But what are the elements you’ll need to master in order to achieve it? Join Joanna as she takes you through conditioning and active flex exercises, and provides a roadmap to nail your Russian Split! There are no prerequisites required to attend this workshop, but attempting a Russian Split will require an Aerial Shoulder Mount and a Reiko Mount. We have linked these tutorials if you need them!

Baby Russian Split

By Hugh JCR

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!
