Moves catalogue

LittleMissLola started this discussion · 1/27/2009

Right, I've been working on one of these for a while, a fairly comprehensive one that will include aka names, variations and transitions into and out of each move. It's a lot of information so the finished product could be a fairly long way off, but right now I have got it into a format that I like, and I'm working on gathering photos of some of the moves. I'd like to ask a bit of a favour, if anyone has any photos of moves that they wouldn't mind me using could you please let me know which ones and where I'd find them? Here's a list of the names of the moves in my list at the moment (I realise a lot of these will be different names than the ones you may use and I would love to hear the alternate names too as I will be including them in the formatted list) Angel Anchor Archer Aysha Back Bend Banana Splits Basic Brass Monkey Basic Invert Bees Knees Bomb Boomerang Hold Bow and Arrow Brass Monkey Bridge Brucey Bonus Butterfly Caterpillar Caterpillar Climb Chopstix Crane Cross Ankle Release Cross Knee Release Crucifix Cupid Dangerous Brian Dangerous Bridge Death Lay Diamond Cut Double Brass Monkey Dove Drama Queen Dropped Genie Eros Extended Butterfly Extended Frodo Extended Hobbit Figurehead Fiona Flag Flash Gordon Flatline Scorpio Flipped Gemini Frodo Funky Monkey Gemini Genie Goddess Gripper Handspring Hero Hip Hold Hobbit Hummingbird Iguana Inverted Crucifix Inverted D Inverted Pole Sit Inverted Scissors Jacknife Jade Jamilla Mount Lola Mount Knee Bocker Knee Hold Knee Swing Marksman Mermaid Ninja Nose Break Peter Pan Peter Pan Drop Plank Pole Sit Pole Splits Pencil Pixie Recliner Reiko Splits Reverse Handspring Rocketman Rubber Pencil Scissors Scorpio Sexy Flexy Side Climb Side V Side Yogini Shooting Star Shoulder Mount Shoulder Splits Skater Spatchcock (I think that one will have to be Felix herself, lol) Split Heel Split V Stag Pose Star Starburst Starfish Stargazer Stokey Straight Edge Super Invert Superman Swallow Swan Tabletop Tammy Tail Pipe Tail Spin Taylor Teddy Thigh Hold U-Bend Vertical Genie Wrist Sit Yogini

Wow, that sounds amazing, not to mention helpful. I cant wait till your finished!!!!
Rouge_LAmour · 2/2/2009
okey dokey, this is such a nifty idea, so we thought we'd add what alternative names we have. We're doing it too, so the collaborative effort may work wonderfully. I've put our names in brackets. Basic Invert (Alley Oop) Bow and Arrow (Cross bow) Brass Monkey (inverted Goddess with Alternate grip) Butterfly (Lotus) Cross Ankle Release (Fantasy) Cross Knee Release (Figure 4) Extended Butterfly (Extended Lotus) Gemini (Falling Angel and there's a fallen angel which we're trying to remember what it's called!) Iguana (Extreme) Shoulder Mount (Respect, from floor is respect from floor) Wrist Sit (Hand held Venus)

Thank you so much Rouge! That's a big help. One question though, your Fallen Angel, is that with inside leg hooked or outside? (I use a different naming convention with the whole gemini scorpio thing so I thought it best to clarify) 😀
azriel · 2/2/2009
ok you've motivated me to take some more pictures! Don't know if you'd like them, but i'll post them in my profile here, and feel free to use any that i already have up. 🤓
LittleMissLola · 2/2/2009
Azriel, I love the photo of your plank, but I can't seem to copy and paste it. Is there any chance it's on photobucket or something similar and you can pm me the link so I can try to copy it from there? Also anyone else got any more pics?
Rouge_LAmour · 2/3/2009
One question though, your Fallen Angel, is that with inside leg hooked or outside? (I use a different naming convention with the whole gemini scorpio thing so I thought it best to clarify) 😀 erm, inverts still scare me. I prefer reverse aerial spins like the hurkey or the Ushiro. I'll ask the "Luscious Miss T" (my business partner) for clarification as I can't remember which is which either. One is the fallen angel and the other is the falling. Vaguely think the inside leg falling and the outside is fallen. They're from the Pole Addiction manuals, which we used to use. Ah, the Ushiro. It is like a reverse Hurkey (aerial atitude) but with legs like the classic Bruce Lee posters. Lower leg (inner) is straight and top leg is bent. Body, from waist down, is as close to 90deg from the pole as you can get it. Needs a very controlled and strong "flick" to get into it. Needs a lot of room. Bit of a toughie, but so pretty and so much fun. If tall or long legged, you'll need heaps and heaps of room... (180cm / 6ft radius from the pole minimum) Photo once I get back to studio

hi Lola I put some shots on our site today of Lisa doing some poses, we have the fallen angel on there. website is still under construction, but hope it helps. As we get more, then we'll add them for you. http://web.me.com/pole_dance_aotearoa/Website/Gallery/Pages/Tutors.html cut and paste if that doesn't work. Cheers Rouge.
pole-twista · 2/4/2009
the pics were great did anyone else notice the page looked cut off or is it just my comp? can't wait to see the rest! 🥂
Former member · 2/4/2009
beautiful pictures rouge!!!! i saw about 6 of them, not sure if there were more or not- but they were beautiful!
Rouge_LAmour · 2/5/2009
Thanks for all the positive feedback! ☀️ There were only 6 and they were all taken pretty close to Lisa. The only other reason for possibly looking cut off, is the monitor here is an old editing one, therefore wide screen. It looked ok at home, but then, all I have at home are widescreen too. 🙄 Lisa's our head tutor and is amazing to watch. They were taken on a camcorder, with me sitting on the floor - hence the odd Dutch Angle (filmy term). We'll get more up as we shoot them! The student shots are of one of our trainee tutors, she's less scared of inverts than I am... but she's terrified of freestyle!! 😂
Former member · 2/5/2009
wow! well i was definitely impressed! ☀️
Rouge_LAmour · 2/5/2009
Check Lisa out here http://youtube.com/watch?v=kHgPmhY7wQo She's dancing from 4"20" onwards. You also get to see how horrific our old studio colours were too.
Former member · 2/5/2009
she's very good! those colors, yikes! lol im glad you guys changed them. that was a cool video rouge
LittleMissLola · 2/6/2009

Former member · 2/22/2009
i could do a pic of the inverted thigh hold if you want 🙂 i could do a pic of the elbow stand as well.....???
LittleMissLola · 2/22/2009
That would be brilliant, whats the elbow stand?
Former member · 2/22/2009
its an easier version of the handstand, with your elbows on the floor instead of the hands. i could do a handstand pic too if you wanted.....
LittleMissLola · 2/22/2009
Ahh I get ya. Yeah go for it
Rouge_LAmour · 2/23/2009
snaffle the shots from our website. For this purpose, we don't have an issue. We'll be putting more up later from the Cuba Street Carnival, let me know which of those you like and I'll check with the student / tutor concerned.
LittleMissLola · 2/23/2009
Hey Rouge, I'm having problems with getting the pics. The website appears to have disabled he right click copy function, so I can't copy or save the pics to my computer. I would love the inverted crucifix one, if it's up anywhere else I could get to to save it?
LittleMissLola · 2/28/2009
Moves are filling up, so if you'd like to get in on this the time to do it is soon! For now I particularly need a thigh hold pic, dangerous brian pic, Dove, Drama queen, Taylor, Fiona, Flipped gemini, Goddess, chopstix, forward ankle release, basic invert, Skater, wrist sit, inverted crucifix, a bent legged inverted crucifix, Pantera's Gemini (the heel licky type one), Peter Pan (move not a spin), Reiko splits, reverse gemini, split heel, starburst, I would like videos of; basic invert, air invert, bum slide, caterpillar/caterpillar climb, Electric slide, Flag invert, hip swivels, Jamilla mount, Mermaid, Iguana, Peter pan drop, shoulder mount roll, reverse shoulder mount, side climb, pole climb, Also I would like pics of any handstand, headstand and elbow stand variations you have I'm planning on doing a spins directory once this one is sorted, so get your spins ready
azriel · 2/28/2009
