This move has been around a while now but I avoided it until I saw the entry into it that I'm teaching in this video. I feel no pain from it and it is not scary for me to do it this way. Hopefully if you have tried the traditional way and found it too painful you will enjoy this method more.

If you want more details about any pole tutorial or video private lessons are available. Text 410 868 7957 for more details.

This is the half split seat.
I forget to mention that when you lean down you lean to the side of the leg this wrapped around the pole, the bent leg. If you try to lean with your body on the side of the pole that is your straight leg that is a completely different move, I'm not sure what. 

This is also kind of a precursor to the blacksun split. The reason I say this is because if you can get comfortable with that forward lean and pulling your straight leg higher than your torso that is half the battle of blacksun split. 

But picture this move with those angel wings people have worn on stage and the whole move is transformed.
