Ayesha pole move

The Ayesha is an advanced pole dance position,^[1] where the dancer suspends their body weight with two hands in an inverted position, and opens their legs in a V facing the pole.

There are several grip variations for the Ayesha, including a split grip,^[2] twisted grip, and elbow grip.^[3] There are different ways to get into an ayesha: from a basic inversion,^[4] by doing a caterpillar (pulling through the top arm and pushing through the bottom arm, creating a "D" shape) to create space between the torso and the pole; from an extended butterfly (one leg straightened in contact with the pole by the ankle and foot, and the other leg straightened away from the pole),^[5][6] bringing the inside leg around toward the face; or directly from a handspring.^[7]
