Beeman Twist to Crossback Straddle is a simple and satisfying way to set up the cross behind the back. This entrance is sometimes called the Sit and Spin Entrance to Crossback Straddle. It’s similar to a Georgia Twist entrance, but much easier for most students.
We teach this at the beginning of our student’s journey into Crossback Straddle, since it is one of the simpler entries to master. Our intermediate level students typically pick this up quickly, and our advanced level students come back to it to explore finding different styles to make it their own for choreography.
Beeman Sit, which is the skill where this transition begins, was named for Terry Beeman, the first aerialist known for inventing the skill.
