How to do a Figure 8 or Flare on Pole - Pole Dancing by ElizabethBfit

- How to do a Figure 8 or flare on pole. Although this is more of an intermediate to advanced move on pole, it's never too soon to start working on this one. The figure 8 is not only a crowd pleasing move on the pole by itself but is also a foundational move and mechanics for many advanced pole moves and combos yet to come (wheel down, aerial phoenix, etc). There is something here for all levels. Those of you that are able to do a solid, clean, single figure 8, I now challenge you to try linking multiple figure-8s together!

If you are having trouble with the move please post your videos and ask your questions and I will give pointers and tips as needed. If you have any questions about this tutorial please leave your comments below and I would love to answer them. If you have any requests for future tutorials please leave them in the comments below!

Love and appreciate your posts, they're really clear to follow and all look so easy when you do them (the reality is quite different but your teaching is excellent). Thanks.
So happy to hear that Zoe. So happy to be able to share my knowledge and help others on their pole journey. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or if you would like feedback on your figure 8 flares please send video my way!
Ohhh man!! I was one who always went straight from 3 to 1, having that 4th step has made all the difference! Thank you!
Yayyyy! New skill unlocked! I love that! Looking forward to seeing your new and improved flares!
Great video!! I’ve been a dancer for a year now. I’ve been lucky to become pretty skilled in such a short time but when I see tricks this combo is normally my missing knowledge piece. Can’t wait to try it out at work tomorrow! Thank you!
That is awesome! Would love to see! If you have not done so already, I’d love to have you join my EBFit private Facebook group and share your videos there for celebration, feedback and pointers.

Excellent. Now I know what to ask my teacher for because I had no idea what this was called or how to explain it.
Can't wait to see it!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL I have straight leg inverts, a shoulder mount and almost a handspring but flares have stumped me, the motion as you spin especially. this slower breakdown was excellent and I'll be trying soon.
Fantastic! So happy to hear this was helpful. Please do keep me posted on how it goes when you work on it.

@@Elizabeth_BFit yes I have thank you
just found your channel a couple days ago. really love your style. this is how i see myself lol. you're thorough
So happy you found my channel! Any requests for tutorials?
Love love! Who the heck "disliked" this? People are so hard to please and honestly, if there's a DIFFERENT WAY to do something, doesn't mean it's incorrect! 💪💪I will forever support women , no matter what! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thankyou Elizabeth!! Xxx I think this was brilliant!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Oh my god! That was so well explained! What a great teacher!
So happy to hear that you found it helpful! Please keep me posted on your progress and if you have any requests for future tutorials please let me know.
oh its so detailled. wow! thanks so much :-) always wanted to improve this figure.
You are so welcome! Would love to see your progress videos! Please share on FB or IG and tag me!
How did I not think to look on your page for this tutorial 🤦🏽♀️ You have theeee best breakdowns 🙌🏽✨ Thank you for slowing it down and explaining each part. It helped being able to see them added on to the previous!! Great video
You're so welcome and so glad you found the tutorial you were looking for. Figure 8s are so much freakin fun!!
I have so much for respect to teachers that teach technique properly. Thank you
Thank you! I am a stickler for technique. That's what happens when you take a nerdy kinesiologist and turn them into a pole dancer.
@@Elizabeth_BFit It definitely makes a big difference. I had a teacher try to teach me this and although her instruction was pretty savvy she was pushing me to progress too fast. I was struggling to keep form consistently yet she wanted me to move through the progressions right away.
I’d love to read more about kinesiology for pole if you have recommendations. I’m already reading pole PT and follow pole physio
Will definitely try this one! I think it helps to think of it like fan legs but on spinny. Great tutorial!
Yes it is fan legs on spinny for sure! You got this!!
I love your tutorials!! they are so clear and helpful
So happy you found them helpful! Please let me know if you have any requests for future tutorials.
I find this is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you for teaching us .
Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Much appreciated.
Awesome breakdown! This finally makes sense. Thank you

Excellent execution an great tips as always.
I'm late to the party but thank you for breaking this down and pointing out the things I was definitely doing wrong! My flares were definitely looking more like 'Flails' and I think this will help!

Thank you. Love your tutorials.!. Very helpful woman.!. You rock.!.
You are so welcome! I love putting together these tutorials. Please let me know if you have any future requests Nichole.
thank you so much for this tutorial
Thanks for the clear explanation! I think I'm a bit too inflexible to make this move look very good but maybe one day
All moves, transitions and tricks look different on different bodies but that doesn't mean that they don't look good! You got this!
Awesome thank you for taking the time to show this trick really helped me you explained it perfectly look forward to the next video
Glad it helped! What pole moves are on your bucket list or are you currently working on?

Thanks!!
Love this video , do you have any advice for static pole.
So glad you enjoyed it. Advice for static pole is a pretty broad question. Can you be more specific as to what your struggle is?
I wish I could do this but I’m still a beginner 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 one day!!
You can absolutely start working on part one of the figure 8 at any level. It will help you develop the strength and coordination not just for these figure 8s but also for your spinning chopper. If you're looking for additional guidance on working towards your pole goals I recommend checking out my online training program here: elizabethbfit.com/ebfitpolers/
my goal is to flare into an invert. they look so silly right now because it feels so different from just a deadlift invert. i managed to make it to somewhat part 2
Milla that's great that you're working up to part 2! It takes time for our bodies and brains to learn new movement patterns so don't get frustrated with yourself, just keep consistently working on it. If you have not done so already, I’d love to have you join my EBFit private Facebook group and share your videos there for feedback and pointers.

I’m already struggling with the first step. Not sure if it’s flexibility or what… firstly my leg will not straighten and if it is straight it’s not very high even tho I’m leaning down and crunching my oblique. Do I just need to stretch my hamstrings and increase my hip mobility??
Keep in mind that every move will look different on different bodies but that doesn't mean it's not correct. It could be a flexibility issue, or a strength issue or simply a matter of needing more repetition so as to allow your body time to coordinate all the things at once. Bottom line is it's hard to say where the disconnect is and what needs to be worked on without seeing exactly what it is that you're currently doing. If you'd like to book a virtual private I'd love to help you sort it out. Feel free to reach out to me via email below or book via my website.

Are you on static or spin for this?
Works best on spin
Part 2 struggles
Part 2 is definitely a challenge. Don't give up on it tho! Keep working 1 to 2 into your regular pole training and you'll get there!
oof I am WEAK YO
This is a challenging one! You're not alone!
Great video, thank you 🙏
You're welcome. Please send any requests for future tutorials my way!
