XOX
Allegra
Allegra, sweetie, yes, I did!! I am just swamped with work and haven’t had time to edit and post. I’m giving my memory card to Amber tonight and–since she’s now on spring break and has free time–she is going to do it for me. You were stunning! So hang on, it’s coming soon!

Hey everyone!!! Glad to see everyone is enjoying the USPDF videos I put up. Like I told people on FB. Enjoy it while it lasts before they take it down. I had a blast in NYC and chillin and meeting new polers. I am upset that Jessalynn didn’t place but then again I’m biased.lol….Overall It was a great show. I can’t wait until next year:)
Hey Guccichic, can you post them on SV as well, so that when YT takes them down they can still be seen?? Just a thought. Thanks for posting!

BlueEyes, you must have been in Brook’s workshop with me! I LOVED it and her. Sorry we didn’t get to say hi.
Yes, she said that transitions and flow count for 4 out of the 10 total points. Difficulty and tricks count only for 1 point of the 10. Alethea, according to the judges, was the only one who they thought had smooth transitions–i.e., you couldn’t see her "thinking" about placing her feet and hands here and here.
Alethea dislocated her kneecap stretching too quickly. She thinks it’s likely that she has become so loose and flexible with all her contortion work that everything has just loosened up and it slipped out. She popped it back in and went on. (She’s not superhuman though–she’s in pain and stiff and limping and headed to a doctor soon.)
Call me biased (BIASED!) but I’m kinda surprised no one has said more about Amber’s routine! I know she will post a version so everyone will see. She told a story, switching from ballet and pointe shoes to leopard print and hot-as-hell part way through. She was stunning and you all will love it. She did have a couple of slip ups, as did almost every competitor this year actually. Just tells you how high the bar has been set and how hard they are all pushing!

I saw a USPDF entry video that just A-MAZED me I thought she was like the sexiest woman alive…
That’s Lian Tal, owner of Body and Pole. See the thread on "pole crushes"–meeting her last year and seeing this performance of Control done live firmly cemented her as my crush. She’s also *beyond* nice!! Are you coming to USPDF? You can meet her!

It would have to be SV lavender, for sure!!

Fun idea!
Mine was probably cross ankle release. I remember being taught it, and when they showed it the first time I said, No FUCKING Way!!
Then, when I started watching vids on YT, it was the ballerina. I couldn’t imagine twisting like that. Now I’m really good at it and my students hate that I’m always trying to get them to do it.
And finally, it was aysha. HOW could you possibly take your legs off the pole??!! I rock it now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif -
Happy Birthday, you sexy thing!!! Have a great day!

Spring Break in the US is a 10 day or so period when colleges are off school and students traditionally go somewhere warm and beachy to drink a lot and act like morons in general. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Almost anyone who went to college on the east coast did the drive to Florida, stay in a motel, drink a ton and do embarassing crap thing at least once. MTV even started spending spring break week on site usually in Florida or Texas, having beach parties with girls in teeny bikinis parading around to bad hip hop music.
So, as V said, you could dress in something that means beach party to you. And music that means the same. -
Hey Sis
Yes, I meant getting from place to place. For healthy people (provided it isn’t -30 and snowing), walking is a great way to cover most of the city. We’re staying about 16 blocks from the NYPD studio for example, so will likely walk to and from workshops.
There’s always subway, but still walking a bit to get to and from stops.
For you, I’d plan on taking a lot of taxis door to door. As amyxshi said, driving is essentially not an option.

Glad you liked my suggestion, hope everybody has fun with it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif -
Hey Foxy,
So, last year in NY for the workshops everyone was in their usual workout wear: tiny or booty shorts, tanktops, sportsbras, heels.
To the competitions I’ve worn nice jeans and a shirt: in NY it was a long-sleeved Poletential tee, in LA it was our "Amber Rocks the Pole" t shirt!
For the afterparty people tended to doll up a bit more. However, this year the afterparty is close to the theater, so it may be that we go straight there from the comp depending on time (???) If so, I’ll be there in my jeans and Amber t-shirt! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
