oh btw, video is up 🙂 I now i may be cheating by twisting the weight to the side, but it helps a lot!
-
ok… good news and bad news!
good news, I did it! 😀 dont want to brag but it was actually quite easy… its more about ballance than strength…
bad news… I'm used to spin and snap on the other side.. and old habits die hard i guess… need to work on that, or just work on holding it on my weak side… 😉 the push away from the pole, didnt even try it. I'm pretty sure there was a good chance to end up crashing on my back so.. i'll wait and work on that next time I convince my bf to spot me 🙂
thanks for sharing this, really is a cool and impressive way to dismount!
-
oh cool, I get it! I can do the spin and snap, but i dont push the body out like that… agree it might be more problematic than holding the handstand just with one hand… i'm so excited to try it! I wont have time today but definately tomorrow I'll work on it, camera on for better or worse 😉
-
I'm also signed up. hope they dont take too long with the details, otherwise I may have trouble finding flights and accomodation… but if its as cool as it seems, I'll be there 🙂
-
hmm interesting… I'm trying to hold a one-handed handstand but with my back to the pole, not like that… so, she moves one hand from the floor to the pole and then what? butterfly? spin? hold? i'll give it a try next practice and let you know how the adventure went 😉

I dont know the name… (so many, hard to know them all!!) I consider it a variation from the dangerous bridge, aka crescent (?). I have two similar moves on my practice videos compilations of July (4.00min) and September at 0.35min. the last one is closer to the photo, but I kept both legs bent. I can now play with the legs at will, since most of the weight is on the arms/shoulders and back… only need a little bit of grip not to slide down… at least the way I do it… not much meat on me to help holding on… anyway… glad you bring that up..! if anyone know the name, please share 🙂

thats horrible… how and why people do that is beyhond me… I live in Algarve, just walking distance from a beach and havent been there in years (except after sunset ahaha). all summer I see turists and locals baking at the sun, even at mid afternoon sun… how can they make that to themselves?? i get it, a litle tan looks good, but to the point of looking like the lady in the pic… thats not tan, thats roasted…! I'm a vampire, have to wear sunblock even in winter, my skin really cant take any more sun… as a child my parents never cared about it…i've had more sun burns that I can count… i'm afraid another one will be one to many…

love the ideas! good to have options 🙂 hmmm… already have plenty of bloopers… I feel like its time to bring my crazy character out once again 😉
-
week…! sigh..
-
havent posted anything this weak or the last because there's no progress… at all… if anything I think I got worse… maybe next weak…

started from scratch, no background in fitness, dance or anything. No exercise at all for 10y before starting, Been doing it for 22 months.

I believe we have all been there. When I got my first pole I thought that maybe I had bought a fake, or a different kind of pole than the ones on the videos, because I couldnt do anything with it! it was just a round piece of cold hard slippery metal on the middle of the study. Many times I told myself… "this was a big mistake…" and at the start i didnt like the bruises or the soreness one bit. I think the only reason I didnt gave up right away was because I am too stubborn and hate to admit defeat. Don't worry… it will get better 😉
-
I saw that trick yesterday after practice on a diferent video and almost got back to the pole to try it! i'll try today for sure, its beautiful!
@elektra: thats a cool idea…. 😉
-
cool trick! cant wait to try it 🙂 thanks for sharing!
-
Oh that sucks!! so sorry 🙁 but I love your atittude, looking it as an opportunity to practice diferent things 🙂 I have a one-handed invert to chopper here: https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4e7ca30b-c51c-4e2a-8f34-03fc0ac37250 at about 0,25s if it helps. If you need any pointers let me know. other suggestions.. maybe embraces? elbow shoulder mounts, elbow ayshas (from the floor so you dont have to use your hand much to climb and invert), or maybe even who knows, you may come up with new tricks 😉
-
OK, I'm in… I need all the motivation I can get at this point.. just uploaded a video with where I stand atm… and will take a pic every friday with the progress.. this should be fun…. in a most unpleasent way 🙂
-
I'm pretty sure I wont be able to do it, but I'll try anyway. Lindo! Parabéns 🙂

Pink Puma caught my eye immediatly and went straight for the top fav. she has a very particular style and works with really cool tricks and combos. Also we dont see many tall skinny dancers. In my dreams I pole and move my legs exactly like her lol

@silverlady: girl.. you bring ruin to my life! those are to die for!!! I'm so getting one even if its for christmas!
I did my piercing right after i turned 18 (my parents didnt allow it before), it took about 8 months to fully heal… but it was worth it! sometimes when I wear too tight clothes it gets "upset" but its just a matter of kipping it clean and all its fine. To avoid complications I often remove it when I practice, when I know i'm going to have to use my belly against the pole… to avoid hurting myself, cratching the pole and also because those tiny holes on x-pole dont make me feel too confortable… maybe i'm just over cautious, but.. better safe than sorry. I love my piercing, too bad there's only one belly botton or I'd do more 😛

Thanks for posting this! love both, but had no idea how they were called.
-
Thats what I did…. -_- …. several times… and still "Faro" shows up.. it dont bother my much, but since the subject came up…
-
On a related subject… how to change location? I've tried a few times but always remains the same…
-
Good luck with your school! The website looks great! If I ever find my way back to germany I'll definately drop by 😉
-
what I often do to save time is housecleaning work as a warmp up. after 30min to 1h of dusting, vacuum cleaning, mopping, carrying stuff up and down stairs, etc I do some mobility exercises and pre-stretches and Im good to pole. Flexibility training is usually done while whatching a movie after a good strength workout or a nice hot bath when I have time for it. its possible to find time for everything with a little creativity 😉
-
practice and polish the ones you know, try new combos, play a bit, experiment! have some fun with what you have accomplished, and of course, keep working on dancing, stamina, flexibility and strength, you cant have enough of that 😉
