YAY!

By "poses" do you mean ones that are done up on the pole after climbing, or can they be on the floor, or whatever? Or maybe a beginning pose, to start your dance off with?
-
Bah! I forgot to ask one more thing! If we happen to feel somewhat more ambitious, can we dance for longer than 60 seconds? I don’t know the rules for these competitions…though I realize this one is just for fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I would say a pose is done from on the ground….but thats just me, anyone else have any thoughts on this? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif if it were up on the pole I would call it a hold.

sounds fun..i’ve never done a challenge b/c i’m fairly new to the site, but when do you submit the challenge videos? on a specific day or any day of the month?

post your video anytime….you can even do old challenges, when ever. Just be sure to label it with the month and challenge so it will show up with all the other challenge vids. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif -
1 thigh hold (held for 3 sec)
I think I understand the rest of the requirements, but I’m not sure about "thigh hold" –> I can only think of teddy, inverted teddy & inverted pike. I’m sure there are others I’m missing, but is that the hold you are talking about?
THANKS!

I agree with Veena, a pose can be any position on the ground. Up the pole it would be considered a hold.
part of the challenge is to fit all the elements in a set amount of time so I think it’s more fun if we stick to the time limits. Of course if you want to post a longer video as well, we would all love to see it!
A thigh hold, according to the USPDF standards, is any position where both thighs are the main thing keeping you on the pole, ie: a simple layout, a cross ankle or knee release, superman, etc.
i can’t wait to see what everyone does! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Wow that sounds great! It is motivating https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Good idea https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
does the floorwork have to be in one 20min block or can we break it up?? Also can gsylass and I do our routine together?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
I don’t mind if you do it together Azz…I would have to ask Fleur about the floor work, I’m planing on doing mine all at once.
-
Floorwork is meant to be 20 seconds continuous. It’s hard to count 20 seconds if you break it up anyhow!
-
true…. good point!! ta!
-
hehe, sounds like fun! i can do everything but a split in the pro section, but maybe i’ll give it a try anyway. this is a really great idea https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
-
I’m so excited about this!! I can’t wait to give it a try https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I’m going to look for music right now!
-
hum still not sure 90 sec vid, only 3 second holds is that the minium? it takes me more than 3 secs to just get in a vert. can it be longer??? whole song?
Don’t worry if you think you can’t do it, its a challenge but not a contest just do your best and see how it goes, you might surprise yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -

Great Idea!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

Okay…this one sounds fun! It will mean I will actually have to plan something out to time and not freestyle https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif That alone will be a HUGE challenge for me lol. I will try it…as well as the floor challenge…hmm what month was that???
-
Hey ladies, I was wondering…what are you doing for music? I can’t find any 1minute songs that are any good…would you say I should just take a chunk of music and stick it in? I’m kind of a fan of everything fitting together, so it’s a bit of a challenge for me!
Just wondering what everyone else was doing! -
Hey, island girl! I’m just going to use a part of a song that doesn’t have prominent lyrics, preferably with a 1.5 min. section with no words. Right now I’m thinking of "Sway" by Shreikback or something similar.
-
ya i’m just going to use 90 seconds of a song i really like. i am sooo excited to do this one (doing it tonight)
the floor work chall. was August. -
sorry if this was already answered, but
1 do you have to do the list in order?
2 can the spins be combo spins?
3 is the invert suppouse to be like go directly into an inverted pose and hold for 3 secs and come down or can you do like crucifix to scorp hold than do maybe geemini before coming down?
4 does the split have to be on floor or can be on pole?am so excited about this challenge1 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
-
heh heres my assumption for the rules:
no it doesnt have to be in that order, its a dance but putting ur knowledge and skill into so much time ^^
combo spin is still a spin =) tho id assume it would only count as one and you would have to do two spins some point in ur dance
an invert is an invert~ and again im assuming invert properly means no jumping/kicking into it? and how u get out of it is ur choice
and for splits.. i think they would only count if the were on the floor or against the pole? unless in a headstand if u can get it straight or oversplit? or cheat somehow;; LOL
doesnt hurt just to try =D i mean like she said its not a contest.. its a challenge =) who knows maybe get u ready for USPDF!
-
ooh how fun! although i can’t do the splits…does that mean i’m disqualified? Lol. But I’ve been stretching every day and I’m getting closer! I’m bad at choreography so I’m just going to free style it and try to remember what i have to do….i’ll write it on my arm or something so I don’t forget! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
