Fairy spin
Also known as: Fairy spin (Tuck spin) · Tuck spin
A floating two-handed spin with both knees tucked under, hover-style.
The fairy spin is a slow, dreamy beginner spin. Sister to the chair, just with both knees in front instead of side-saddle. Most polers learn it in their third class.
Common mistakes
- Gripping with closed fingers — use a pinch grip with the side of your palm
- Tensing your shoulders up to your ears — keep them down and back
- Looking at the floor — eyes up, head follows where you want to go
Tips from instructors
- Wear grippy shorts and a sports bra. Skin grips the pole, fabric doesn't
- Avoid moisturiser on arms and legs on class day
- If your hands sweat, try iTac2 or Dry Hands — ask the front desk
- Take your shoes off in the warm-up to feel the floor
- Don't compare day-one you to anyone's Instagram
