Hi everyone!! I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland, but currently living in New Zealand! I ahve only been dancing for about 3 months but done my first inverted crucifix last night! I am treating myself to a pole for christmas (which i hope will fit in my garage) but have learnt a lot from this site already!!! Keep up the good work girls, and the routines i've seen up here so far are amazing!!!!! 😀

Hi. Congrats on getting your first crucifix. It's a great feeling isn't it? Caroline

It most certainly is, although the bruises and raw skin are a side affect i hope goes away soon! I still think i'm hanging on from grim death, have to work on those thigh muscles a bit more!!! 😲

Welcome! The bruises and raw skin go away after a while, but in the meantime you just sorta force your skin to toughen up. However, then you learn a new move and are hanging off a new patch of skin or the same patch in a slightly different way and it is the same story all over again... I think of it as kind of a rite of passage for each new move. 😀
