Watching this video: <snip>1. Does this have a name at 3:33 (I know it's a lunge, but the knee up thing and back to a lunge).2. At 3:43 - what is the part of this spin called where she drops down to a low position?I appreciate any help!
An Illusion would be considered a difficult entry to a camel spin, and I do think that's what was choreographed. She only made a half-hearted attempt at it before going into the camel. She looked off-balance or tired. It's very early in the season, so this was just a tune-up competition.A single pass is called an "Illusion." Repeated three or more time as a spin, it's called an "Illusion Spin."
I didn't say it was a feature - you did and you're right: only if there are three or more revolutions.Using a difficult entrance wouldn't change the level, it just boosts the "soft" points.
Twhicks Pretzel - yes that is the part I was asking about - when she goes down. It's an interesting drop - it looks almost impossible. But now I know why I haven't seen it before.
