Sounds like you might be talking about the ‘Ballerina’ (alt. Stag pose).
It’s the last move in this vid by Veena: http://www.youtube.com/user/StudioVeena#p/u/3/VID71YSiIQE
Is that, or some variation of it, by any chance what you mean? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif

A journal sounds like a good idea, I think some girls on here actually have one. I’m horrible at keeping journals though, so that’s not for me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
I do have a list with moves I can do, and moves that I want to learn (and are attainable, at least to work on). I just updated my pole list yesterday, and organized the moves into categories. Hopefully that’ll help me structure my practice sessions a little better.
But then again, I don’t dance (yet), so I can just run to my list every time I run out of inspiration. But anyway, the list isn’t a cure-all, ’cause I still forget to practice moves (and only remember them when I’m on my way home). And I never have enough time to practice everything I wanted to in the practice hour. Plus I should work more on (new) combinations, and I always see these great new moves/combos on SV and YT, but usually just forget them. I tried writing them down, but that doesn’t seem to work…
Hmm. Guess that didn’t help anyone….like….at all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

I most definitely concurr! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

The vid is called "Donna’s side spin" (or the like). https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Wow! Those are some gorgeous pics!
So, my choices would prob. be: Bridge, CAR, Pin-up, Wall (black&white), and maybe folover and pole sit.
But it sure is difficult to choose!!! Good luck with that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -
To learn the names of moves, the pole move guides by Redke71 on YT are also helpful. E.g. alphabetized beginner moves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PLPi0M8bM.

I’ll try to paste it in the thread.
This is the move named after (and performed by) Alesia:https://www.studioveena.comhttp:://www.triagedesign.co.uk/wikipole/images/a/a0/Alesia.jpg
Can’t believe she can perform that move and still smile while doing it.
Her flexibility is really https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_spiderman.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif -

For the basic invert, it sounds like you need to build some more strength. For more info on the basic invert, and which muscle groups to strengthen (and how) check this thread: http://www.studioveena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=793&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
I’m not sure about the wrap around.. Is that the same as the corkscrew? Or is it a cradle spin? Dunno. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
Hope that helps a little. Good luck!

I salute you, fellow pole addict https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I LOVE the drop you invented! With a little more practice it could be a real showstopper!!
BTW, I think the move you pointed out in the YT vid is called ‘Dangerous D’. (so be careful https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif )

Wow, awesome clips. Very inspiring. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif Is there any way to watch this online from outside the US?
-
Yes V, that’s the one.
I briefly tried it yesterday, but found that as soon as I had changed grip and turned my body, I was just hanging still, or just couldn’t hold the chair position. Guess I need more control. I’ll try again next practice https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

That’s okay https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif . They actually are grouped: go to the ‘video’ section; then on the right side, click on ‘member videos’; and then ‘monthly challenges’.
Have fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I just found this great vid, which has a relatively slow holly drop at 2:36. Great routine too, btw.

Hey Dee, I was wondering about the shaving cream thing. (Wasn’t it shaving gel btw?)
What happens when you start sweating? Do you get, like, foamy legs? LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
No, but seriously, I was considering buying some, so I’m very interested in the pros/cons. -
Hey Tammy,
I’ve had a similar backpain the first few months of inverting.
I was wondering, after an invert, do you slide down (inverted), or do you keep your hands where they are and just flip your body down and put your feet on the ground? Because that last method, is what caused the pain for me. I got rid of it by building both my abdominal and back muscles and by relieving my back by cutting a bit back on inverts, and sliding down from them (instead of dropping my feet to the floor).Anyway, best of luck! I hope you’ll be pain free soon!

There are definitely some things you can do to improve the situation. Putting on the heating beforehand and warming your pole up with spins is a good start. (If getting the pole warm gets too difficult, you could use e.g. a blowdryer to help warming it). Next thing is to make sure you’re body is warmed up properly. Maybe extend your usual warming-up a little, and use sweatpants, legwarmers, etc. to help the warming-up. Then the final thing: moisturize! After all, dry skin doesn’t stick. Be sure though, that you do it far enough in advance. Getting on the pole within a few hours of using creams/lotions can be very dangerous!! I know some girls moisturize in the morning, and then pole in the evening, which with the right lotion can be done safely. I only use lotions on non-poling days, just to be on the safe side.
Good luck!

I’ve had a middle-lip-labret for eight years now, and I don’t consider myself the goth/grudgy type. But then again, I might be the exception https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif . Anyway, I love the symmetry of having it in the middle. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Started classes almost a year and a half ago. Was 24 at the time, just turned 26. Still wish I’d discovered it earlier though, it’s the perfect activity for me!

Also, Redke71 has made a few vids which list moves according to level.
(Beginner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PLPi0M8bM;
Beginner-Intermediate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCMWELvogf4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC19xBqfeYk; and
Intermediate-Advanced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CMxuL-e4Xo.http://www.wikipole.org can also be a great source of inspiration.
I always take a list of moves to my practices, so when I don’t know which move to practice next, I have a reminder of the possibilities.
Have fun!!

Cute drawing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Yes, Star and Cupid are the most common names for the move.
BTW, at wikipole.org you can browse pictures of moves (choose Pole Move Picture Directory on the front page). For more info about the move you click on the name of the move. Loads of fun on a rainy afternoon https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

It’s doable for sure. I practice on 38mm poles, but they don’t reach all the way to the ceiling and both SM and superman are my nemeses. But I have seen some of the girls I practice with do very pretty SMs and supermans on them. If you have difficulties getting enough leg grip, you could try tilting your pelvis and legs a bit, so you have more skin contact with the legs. Good luck!!!

Voted again! It’s too bad they don’t show your rank anymore https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Bertysbooboo does it too in het latest vid (http://www.youtube.com/user/bertysbooboo#p/a/u/0/kHTc0UaWPtQ at about 0:24). It looks sooo pretty! I’m definitely trying this next practice. I’m not sure I have sufficient flexibility though..
