    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

    I can’t do the splits either but I’ll do my version of a split LOL. Bent knees and all!

    The hardest part is getting everything to fit in 90/60 seconds and making it look like a DANCE! Try to figure out what combination of moves flows best and in what order so that it doesn’t look like a series of tricks but looks like a dance instead. I’m seeing some great vids already! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Oh and P.S. Can there be more than just the required moves in the 90 seconds (IF there is time left over) or is it restricted to what is being asked for, i.e. 2 spins, 20 secs floor work, etc.

    The dance just needs to have those elements in it. Those are the minimums https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
    It’s just a challenge. You won’t get disqualified or something if you just end up doing whatever you want LOL. It’s all for fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

    Gonna give this a go https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif So based on the links should the pose be up the pole? Or does it matter? Thanks!

    I’m still saying a pose is from the floor…and a hold is up on the pole to me. I was also assuming an inner thigh hold would mean without our hands (thighs only) but in the example she is doing moves that involve hands, so which ever way, I’m gonna go for no hands and pose from the floor. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Don’t stress to much about it, this is just a good place to give you all a starting point, don’t worry if the moves you choose are not the "proper" moves. Just do your best. I still have to decide on which moves I wanna do!!

    For the amateur, can anyone tell me what a 1 half spin is? Also, what’s an example of a pose done on the floor?

    I was wondering what a half spin is as well. Is that just a spin that you don’t take all the way down to the ground?

    Yep that is the half spin Kali.

    Also, what’s an example of a pose done on the floor?
    a pose on the floor could be a B hook and such.
