Splits Roll Up is a classic skill that can be beautiful when it’s done with control. We teach this to our Level 1 students once they’re comfortable in Splits and easier Roll Up skills like Candy Cane Roll Up. Spltis Roll Up is the foundation for a lot of choreography and it can be combined with other skills like Crocodile Roll Up and Crossback Straddle.
Doing a Splits Roll Up well involves tail management, managing the tensions on the silks, and keeping great control in the legs. This skill is sometimes called Rotisserie and we like that name because it calls to mind a slowly rotating position which is what we aim for in this skill.
