Allegra
Also known as: Allegra (Extreme back-bend hold)
A hands-free advanced hold using deep flexibility.
If your back-bend isn't deep, this one isn't yours yet. That's fine — most polers never get the Allegra.
Common mistakes
- Treating it as a single trick instead of a transition
- Filming on day one instead of drilling. Drill first, film later
- Forgetting the audience can see your face — sell it
Tips from instructors
- Choreograph in 8-counts, not by trick — flow matters more than tricks
- Have a coach you trust. Self-coached athletes plateau
- Train the smallest details: hand placement, head turns, breath cues
- Compete or showcase regularly — it forces a polish drilling can't get
- Rest fully between intensive blocks. Burn-out is a six-week setback
