Yes, @Veena, I did that, and it helps a lot. But it looks so ugly. LOL. Over the weekend I think I will glue little pieces of mat to the feet of the chair. Thanks for the link, too.

I have laminate flooring in the room I'm doing this in and parquet in my other poling room, so my chair slides around a lot. I was actually waaaay too nervous to attempt a sexy layback on the chair (instead I got into a lying down position in a much sloppier, much safer way!) I had to take a lot of fan leg videos due to the chair scooting too much! I am definitely going to try to put my chair on a yoga mat next time. Not sure why I didn't think to do that! LOL!

I don't have a single chair in my house. So was a little upset that I wasn't able to participate this last week. But I should be good to roll with the rest of the challenge.

This week is all about grounded (standing) movements! It's my favorite set, I love the music I found, the outfit and the slinky moves. I hope you all have fun with it too!

Yes, your whole outfit is super sexy! Looking forward to this week, chair week was tough for me
StrangeFox · 1/16/2018
YES! I was wanting to up my repertoire of grounded moves. Sometimes I find myself standing there not quite sure what to do when I freestyle so its good to have some go-to moves. Looking forward to this! I LOVE your outfit! The bottoms are super sexy!

Thank you to everyone who participated this month!! I really enjoyed watching as many entries as I could. The winners will be announced on IG tonight!!!!!!!!!!! Then it's on to FEBRUARY!

Thanks for the challenge Veena! Most IG challenges are about tricks, sometimes the crazier the better... yours was different, with focus on movement and dance and accesible for all levels. Tricks alone don't speak to me as loud as mesmerizing movement. I look forward to the February one.
StrangeFox · 1/29/2018
Thanks so much, Veena! This challenge has been a lot of fun and it has really taken me out of my comfort zone. I have never participated in an IG challenge before, but this has been such a positive experience I am definitely going to do more. I look forward to doing the February challenge. I pretty much exclusively practice tricks when I pole at home, but after this challenge I've been exploring more floor work and transitions. I've even started incorporating chair into my freestyles. A few other polers I'm connected with on IG were inspired by the challenge and loved the idea of it...I'm going to see if I can get them to join in on the February challenge.

Yes, thank you @Veena! I had so much fun doing the challenge. It was my first challenge ever (I am pretty new to pole) and I really appreciated it being so welcoming and accessible, even to newbies like me. I especially appreciated your clear, helpful instructions, in both the teaching videos and the little demo vids on IG. I loved seeing everyone else's videos and there are lots of dancers that I now recognize on sight, without even seeing their names. Fun!! Also, and maybe MOST important (kidding), I am inspired to dress up my living room pole studio now.
