Pole dance manoeuvre
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[definition needed] to create space between the torso and the pole; from an extended butterfly,[definition needed][5] bringing the inside leg around toward the face; or directly from a handspring.[6]
