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.
