Twice-Wrapped Upside-Down Arabesque

The twice-wrapped upside-down Arabesque is a must-learn for aspiring gymnasts or anyone seeking a challenge. Begin by climbing the silks and performing a regular upside-down Arabesque. Wrap the fabric tail twice around the thigh of the straight leg, securing it firmly.

Let go of the fabric with your hands and hold the tail over your head for added stability. Now, feel the power and grace of this pose as you hang upside down, showcasing immense flexibility and control. The fabric should naturally unwrap from the leg when it’s time to return to an upright position. Remember to keep at it until you’ve fully mastered this beautiful move.
