Is a Jade still a Jade..............

HazelHotpants started this discussion · 2/20/2012

If it is not completely flat?!? 😕 I am working on a routine... and I LOVE doin the jade, but I am no where near getting it completely flat. :( I want to put it in my routine, because I am confident at the hip hold grip, and getting straight legs I just cannot get them flat. I know I need to tilt my hips and I can do that. I'm just really not that flexible. How do people feel about seeing the Jade done when it isn't flat?!

If your competing and can't hold the jade flat, I would opt for the Half Jade instead. So tuck the (gripping) leg and work on extending the free leg until flat. Also if your performing it for people who have never seen pole dance, you could just hold the not flat jade and it would be impressive! If your doing it for a comp then it should be flat! But doing a jade for fun? ...... then how flat it is doesn't matter. 🥂

I agree with Veena...........it depends on the competition.

it is just for a showcase, not for a competition. :) In my mind, I know a jade should be completely flat, and I know other girls will more than likely do a flat jade in their routines! I don't want the audience to look at my not so flat jade and compare it to the others. I'm just gonna have to stretch EVERYDAY untill the showcase!! Thanks ladies!! 😀

SimplySweet did a really nice half jade in her last video "Eternal Flame." I think it is impressive either way, but I am biased because mine is not flat at all 😉 Do what you want and what makes you happy! Have fun and post your performance on here!
