2010 May Challenge

Veena started this discussion · 5/3/2010

Ok after a short FB discussion I think we'll go with SPINS!! 🥂 So the May challenge will be a Spins ONLY Challenge. This means NO INVERTS, NO CLIMBS. Yes you can dance and do floor work, but spin your little hearts out. WARNING: Beginners take it easy on the spins, I personally don't consider most of the spins to be beginner moves so don't over do it. CHEST UP, SHOULDERS BACK AND DOWN. Advanced dancers.....for an added challenge, try doing spins on BOTH sides. 🤓

Oh, this should be interesting. . . . Would using spin mode be considered cheating?? lol

Yaaaaaaaay!!! I love this challenge and I can do it cause it won't effect my injury!! I haven't done a challenge or a video in so long so it's about time I did one!!! 😉

Woop woop this was my idea 🥂 I can't wait to see all the vids, spins are awesome! 🙂
Charley · 5/4/2010
Can my whole class do the challenge...at once? 😁 😁 😁

Kinda odd question (and probably a bit stupid LoL) but do you have to be good to post a challenge video? I mean is suposed to be "Look how awesome I am! I am the best!" because if thats the case I may wait a few months (or years LoL). I really dont want to look like a complete idiot but I want to put up some vids for constructive criticism and to track my progress! Thanks in advance! I also ditto Skittles question! Is spinning "cheating"? LoL!
Danielle Tillie · 5/4/2010
Oh hun, you don't have to be awesome to do the challenge! The point of the challenge is simply to complete it! If you can spin, you can do this challenge, so I expect to see a video some time this month from you! 😉

@ KikiGeneres I don't mean to speak on behalf of everyone on this site, but I think I'm safe to assure you that we are a supportive community here! We would love to see your May challenge no matter what level of dancer you currently are. =) Positivity and constructive criticism are a key attribute of everyone I've met on here, and you are in good company. I hope that you will give the challenge a try and put up lots more videos too! Beware, though, as with everything pole-related it gets rather addicting once you get started. Haha! ? ~*Serzi
KikiGeneres · 5/4/2010
Thanks Ladies! That is really reassuring! 😀
glitterhips · 5/4/2010
yes kiki please post! everyone here is super nice and honestly i think everyone is good no matter what level they are....there's always something to learn from other dancers no matter how advanced or not advanced they are 😀
Veena · 5/4/2010
Yep EVERYONE is encouraged to join in the challenges. This is not like YT and I wont allow snide remarks or putting others down. The site is about supporting each other and out love for pole 🥂

ok just did mine spur of the moment so did climb once, and drew a blank a few times, but am going to post it now. warning explicit language! 😮 😂

my hard part is picking out the music. Im torn between 'One Day Ill Fly Away' by Nicole Kidman from Moulin Rouge and 'The Outsider' by A Perfect Circle. I know I have musically warped mind! I was working out yesterday to a mix of APC and 3OH!3! 😂

Can my whole class do the challenge...at once? 😁 😁 😁 Yes that would be fun!!! 🥂

On no, I missed April already?! Well, I couldn't come up with a good song for April anyway. This one should be fun to do as I have been working on my spins. Now, just to find a good song...
anngiern · 5/5/2010
cool..i like this one....i love spinny work. are we allowed to use spinning pole at veena or just on stationary?
Serzi · 5/5/2010
I think that maybe I'll combine last month's challenge with this one since I never got around to it. A silly song works well with repetitive spins, it has so much gray area to fill in. Haha! ? ~*Serzi

Is spinning "cheating"? LoL! anybody can do challenges!!! It's just a challenge for yourself to spice things up. There is no winner picked, no one compares anyone. We're all at different levels and being awesome is subjective anyway! I think every single person on this site is awesome 😀
KikiGeneres · 5/5/2010
I was thinking something similar Serzi! I have a really odd song I like dancing too! We shall see! 👽
Veena · 5/5/2010
cool..i like this one....i love spinny work. are we allowed to use spinning pole at veena or just on stationary? Spins on Static/stationary poles. Don't hate me spin lovers 😨 ....I say static only because I consider using a spinning pole, holds (not really spins) because you hold the position as the pole spins you. Both are challenging in their own way!
Tine007 · 5/6/2010
YAY!!! How fun!!! This is MY challenge 👸 👸 LOL!!! Spins, spins, spins, both hands, combos, yay, here I come!! 🤸 🤸 🤸 I'm stoked 'cause I want to work on putting them together in a dance rather than just going spin - reverse direction - spin, wipe pole, next spin.... 😬 😬 😬 Perfect opportunity 😀 I'm so looking forward to this!! Can't wait till it's weekend!! Um... still gotta do April though, LOL!! Anyways... 🥂 🤸 🥂 🤸 😬 🌸 😬 🌸 😬

AliciaPolerina · 5/13/2010
