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 (pulling through the top arm and pushing through the bottom arm, creating a "D" shape) to create space between the torso and the pole; from an extended butterfly (one leg straightened in contact with the pole by the ankle and foot, and the other leg straightened away from the pole),[5][6] bringing the inside leg around toward the face; or directly from a handspring.[7]
