I agree a lot with whats been said.
… but since Julianna brought up “flailing” I just wanted to say I thought Kristen Wiig was kind of awesome performing for Sia at the grammys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rFkpcyZ598
Sorry for the tangent, but I think its somewhat related 🙂

I’ve never tried a 40…. But going from a 50 to a 40 is a pretty big jump. Could be great or a huge transition, I don’t know…
That being said, I know Veena seems to really like her 40mm, and she has very lean limbs. She could probably shed some light on how it is for those moves.

I super love the quick lessons. 💕 SUPER LOVE! 💗
I still have a few prep moves I need to work on to do some combos, but they are bookmarked! Also the spinning invert quick lessons are great, I keep coming back to them 🙂

Before I got mine I did a search on here to see how people felt about slip ons… and the feelings were mixed. I already had a pair with ankle straps, and sometimes I don’t feel like stopping to take them on and off when working on things. Like with the monthly challenges we were doing. I wanted to try certain moves or spins with and without heels back and forth.
After reading amazon reviews people said the plastic across the foot was pretty tight, and there were even tips about warming it up with a hair dryer to get the plastic to expand.
I did NOT find it to be tight, and I don’t have a particularly narrow foot. They aren’t falling off or anything, but I have those ball of the foot cushions for heels I may put in them if I want them to be tighter to invert or something. I would not want to size down or my foot would be over the edge. Oh and they are comfy to walk in. 🙂

I guess like this… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46Nc8dUmgVY but without the chair spin in the start. 🙂

I’m picturing a move….
I feel like we called it the mermaid spin… but when I looked up mermaid spin its different.
This is the only thing I could find that is what I was thinking.. but maybe with out lifting as much?

Aw thanks Trop. I’m always jealous of your backdrops 🌴 but yes, I love my trees in May. That’s actually a different pink tree than yesterday. Lots of pink blooming this time of year 🙂

Thanks Veena. I’m ok, I think Its definitely going to leave a mark but its not so bad.
I’m fine… But I’m kind of in an overwhelmed funk. Too many things to do and fix (expensive things too) around the house, so I just don’t have the time or money to really revamp my pole room right now. I need to handle my jungle of a yard, paint my house and fence, fix some stuff in the basement, get some electrical work done, and take down a dying tree, and more before I can get to it.
Wahhhhh. Usually pole makes me forget the stress and just relax, but not when you just want more spacceeeeee 😛
OK, done whining.

Day 30. Here is the most hilarious attempt at my extended butterfly trying to control it down through iron x. Watch it with the sound on to hear the big crash as my foot slams into the dresser and my jewelry box goes flying. I’m going to be black and blue!

So far I can only make the longer version not super painful. I’m not sure if this is going to give me issues down the road, and if I should suck it up and try to master the shorter version now. Or just fully commit to the long version 🙂

Day 29. These were seriously ab-tastic… Though I feel weird about it after seeing everyone call this move the “vagina monster” haha.

I agree that seems very high. I would think it would be free to participate?!?!
If there is some deal with private lessons I would make sure you get that in writing! I’m not saying anyone is trying to screw you over, but sooooo many times you think you and someone else are on the same page and because its not in writing you end up remembering the conversation. It might come off like “as many lessons as you need to make sure you’re prepared” and that may end up being as many lessons as THEY think you need, not what YOU think you need to feel comfortable and confident. And if you’re like me, you have a hard time saying “No, I need more, this is not what I paid for” 🙂
Anyway, I’d really try and get a better sense of what this showcase will include before agreeing to pay anything!
Let us know what you end up deciding!

Day 28. The 1st clip is an attempt at what we were supposed to do…(hard!) and the second clip (also hard!) is not what the challenge was, but I got a lot closer so I wanted to include it. 😂 https://instagram.com/p/2Ch3AXDLBR/

Ahh, ok. I feel like my upper body is doing the same thing… Or at least trying to. Haha. I’ll give it another go tonight and see what happens!
-
I knew you were going to do it Tropical! I didn’t believe you for a minute when you said you weren’t going to! 😆 You are so determined. Go youuuu!! 💕💕
-
Ahhh. So I’m going to give it another try tonight… however my attempts were… Interesting?!?! My best attempt was from the floor. Not quite kicking up, but sweeping the leg, almost like a cartwheel mount… That’s how we’ve practiced in class. But I really need to work on bringing both legs forward like in your tutorial! I’ll give it another try tonight if I can or just post what I did yesterday :/ we’ll see.
