Hi Charley!

I don’t mind you updating everybody at all. (Sorry it’s taken me a few days to respond, I’ve been running like crazy trying to get caught up with everything since I got back home.)

So, the story here is that I actually went down to Detroit for the Pole Fit workshop Charley advertised here a while back. But it got cancelled! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif So I ended up just hanging out with Charley and getting a private lesson instead! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It went really well. She was able to help me out a lot with various grips, she showed me some new spins and combos, and we worked on some basic static poses (ie. wrist sit) and inverts from the ground. We really covered a lot of ground in one lesson!

As for bringing a spotter with me, well, I’m nothing if not practical… I figured there wasn’t much point leaving the roommate at the hotel when he could be learning how to be more useful around the house! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Hopefully he doesn’t think to renegotiate who has to do what household chores now that he’s got an additional duty. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

It was great meeting you too, Charley, and I’m totally bummed I wasn’t able to stay longer. Maybe next time! On the upside though, the Toronto Burlesque Festival was pretty darn cool too. I’m glad I was able to make it to part of that. I managed to take a couple workshops with Kitten deVille, Sophie Luxton, and Jo Weldon–all of which were awesome–and saw Gravity Plays Favorites (and a bunch of other performers) live at one of the shows. I highly recommend the festival to anyone planning to be in the Toronto area next July!
