14.1 → INTRODUCTION
Perhaps one of the most fashionable movements in rope/corde lisse, silks/fabric and in street workouts in recent years, but, do we really know everything about this movement?
In this chapter we will delve into particular technical details, and how and when to use them to improve, optimize, and perform this movement correctly.
Rotating or turning is easy, in the same way that splashing in the water to keep afloat is, but swimming 200 mts. using the butterfly stroke (for example) requires strong technique and prior training.
The same applies to the twist/pirouette, rotating or turning correctly, optimizing rotational energies, improving our musculature, or optimizing the breathing pro- cesses, etc., will require strong technique and prior training. (img. 1)
Because it is not the same to turn in the air, as it is to do a twist/pirouette, 5 consecutive twists/pirouettes, or a double twist/pirouette.
Only later should we add our artistic flare, making our twist/pirouette unique.
