Absolutely awesome! You are beyond gorgeous Veena.
Loved the standing hoop split and all your peeking and swinging around. Very cool!

Thank you guys, I’m happy you liked it!

Tropical I have never done corde this was just in our back yard off the tree house! My hands were so torn up by that old rope! I just took things I could do on the pole and hung from a dirty rope. hehe

This video is special and has great memories for me, the house we lived in was my favorite ever, and I loved the yard and the fact the we had a little lake, tree house and woods! I also have my favorite pole space with super high ceilings and room for 2 poles! The video makes me smile because my oldest, probably 10 at the time, did the recording for me. I told him where to go and he even got some shots from up in the tree house, we had a blast! The path you see me walking at the beginning and end became a cool slalom like path to sled down in winter! I don’t know if I’ll ever get over leaving that place….

I really miss making production videos like this.

Hi Veena!
Technical question here…
Does our IG account need to be public for this Challenge?

No, not to IG. You do have to upload the video here and then share it to your Facebook or Twitter profile. Sharing with IG is just an option if you like.

I am going to upload something here just for fun but I don’t put any pole stuff on FB and I don’t have a Twitter account. I use IG and SV for all my pole and yoga stuff. Hoping to do a solo one as well but in the meantime me and my doubles partner did a very quick vid which is messy but fun!ðŸŽƒ

Only few days left! I will be working on mine in next couple days. Working on ideas for costume, although I might take Veena’s suggestion of wearing a sheet since I’m not creative lol Due to fact the freestyle does not come easy for me, I’m working on putting combos, etc together. So much fun working on this with a pole sister. This Challenge routine might be a little out of character for me!!

Loving the videos that have come in so far!!!!! Keep in mind you don’t HAVE to share to participate, sharing is only required to have a chance at winning 1 yr of lessons and 2 pairs of KMK shorts 🙂

Question!
Does the video need to be specifically for this? My aerials studio had a showcase a a couple weeks ago, and some of the girls had awesome costumey performances that fit this perfectly.

Question. I have a video of me in costume from a recent pole showcase. Its not 1 min long and i cant record anything new due to injuries. Is it still okay to submit that to the challenge?

Yes, you can use a performance video ðŸ˜Š

Jcan, just rules say 1 min or more ðŸ˜“ This was to avoid clips being used as I’m looking for dances.

Another question… I’m such a FB newbie… Do the FB shares have to be public to qualify or is it ok to share with other polers only? Should we be tagging you somehow so that you can see the shares?

Sharing one more, this one was challenging again due to costume also I was a bit heartbroken to edit the video with effects because I had been able to dance cleanly through with costume! BUT I did like how the effects finished my creative process. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4cc6fd72-7ab4-4e36-bd8e-5bed0ac37250

Polar, I can see if someone has used the FB link to share from their video, so when you share you’ll need to do it through the big blue button otherwise you won’t qualify. While I would LOVE to see everyone sharing publicly you still qualify if you share within a group.
