He goes into a shoulderstand from on his back, turns onto one shoulder, hooks that SAME side foot on the pole (the OUTSIDE of the foot), then rolls the foot on the pole to keep his legs up and in position as he rolls over the shoulder. He keeps rolling, over to the opposite shoulder while the free leg threads through, and that leg is the one he plows over to do the shoulder roll at the end.
It's a great move! Looks like hand/shoulder placement is really important on this one, or they'll get in your way as you try to roll from shoulder to shoulder.

Me too!!! In fact, it was inspiration for me to *finally* start learning in earnest to booty pop. I figured if Karol could shake that teeny tiny boot-ay like THAT, I had no excuse at all lol.

LL – I have never had a wig come off. If I'm going to be upside down a lot I'll use wig tape but even without it they stay pretty secure.
EV – My synthetics don't show too badly when I'm inverted, was hoping something more "hairlike" would be even better….
Anyone have suggestions for retailers and/or hair type? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I'd say yes, it becomes a twisted grip when you push away from the pole — your shoulders will square up to the pole as you push out.
Incidentally, that is one of my FAVORITE-ever Karol Helms vids. I love how she always looks like she's having so much fun up there. 🙂

Your hips need to be away from the pole. Bottom hand, shoulder, hip should be in straight line at about 45 degrees or so angling away from the pole. Tilt your pelvis under and round your back slightly while engaging your core. Really squeeeeeeze that elbow grip arm so your bicep and forearm are like a tiny vicegrips! 🙂
In final position your legs will be pretty much parallel to the floor. You should be able to draw lines from your bottom hand to hipbone and then hipbone along legs to pole and make a triangle (triangles are wicked strong!).
Amy had a blog post about this not so long ago, I think.

You could dance to something by Berlin — Scream is a goodie, very sexy. 🙂
Duran Duran — The Chauffer — super duper sultry, IMO
U2 — With or Without YOu
Janet Jackson — Nasty
Blondie — Call Me

Every spray tan I've had has made me suuuuuper slippery. I had hoped for sticky because I'd heard that from other polers. But not me. Slippy McSlipperson, that was me with a spray tan. Sucked too, because it looked GREAT. Boo!

I'm so glad you all have kept the spirit of the original post, which is to avoid "welllllll, I like this BUT dont like that….." and such. It's OK, it's really really OK to say "I have a great rack" and not make any apologies or cushion it with any disclaimers. I promise it's OK. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Really, really, really hoping to!!!

Invert from it
Go into hood ornament
Inverted V hip hold or other hip hold
Regrip and go into pole sit of your choice, then into layback, etc.Someone here does a superman to teddy or teddy to superman, I forget which. It looks great though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Yep. And IME means "in my experience"
You may also see YMMV which means "your mileage may vary"
-
I like this grip variation a lot, it makes interesting lines, IMO. And, at least for me, it is so much easier to spin the V using it.
-
I love these answers!
Question: would y'all mind if I published these to my blog? I won't share names, will just say they're from an informal poll. 🙂
-
Um, I started at 38, how do you think I feel?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

If I wrote down how much I spent I would be horrified, I'm sure. Then…. if I wrote down how much I *STILL* want to spend, on various things like wigs and shoes and a new brass 45 pole and and and and and…….. I would be even more horrified, lol.

Oh — and that is a fab fab fab picture of you on your site.
-
It's LOVELY!! I know where I'll be hanging out if ever I find myself in Kentucky! 😀

It's because dancing for your SO is far more intimate than dancing anywhere else. I can shake it and grind with the best of them, but dancing for my DH always makes me nervous. I have so much more emotionally invested in it! I want him to love it, to watch me and be hot for me AND proud that I'm his wife, all that stuff rolls around, and it doesn't when I dance anywhere else, know what I mean?
-
I should have said here's one–vagina monster!–in my post above.
-
Here's one–at about 3:25. http://youtu.be/BpaZkSxReHQ
This video has HAWT HAWT floorwork so I'd highly recommend watching the whole thing. I heart jannybugalicious. I really do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

IME, men *love* body rolls and floorwork above all else. I did a demo for the studio where I teach and was doing caterpillar climbs, ayshas, shoulder mount bounces, all sorts of fab stuff. Later I asked DH about his favorite part, and he said "you know that spin where your legs are in sort of a diamond shape, and you're looking over your shoulder, and you just look like you're flying? I love that one, it's so beautiful." — Uh, the front hook spin? Seriously? Yep, he loves it.
But for sexy, he loves floorwork. Particularly floor humping or hips up and undulating side-to-side while on the floor. Hooboy.

When I do it, the pole lies more along my inner bicep than my armpit. How far in front of the pole was your hip? I like to see it done, at least at first until you get used to it and can play a bit with it, with the pole right in the middle of the butt. Tilt your body sideways a bit, then bring your catch arm up, around, and then down to lock in the grip. As you bring the arm down you should feel your body rise a bit–that tells you you're steady and ready! 🙂
Where on the bone did it feel like it was pressing? Upper arm?
-
Ohhhhh great idea! I would love to do this one!
-
Poling in jeans = H-A-R-D. There are a lot of moves I just won't try.
-
Mine doesn't stop me from doing anything…. though I do feel as though I'm hauling 10 extra pounds upside down, etc. lol
One interesting (maybe) note: I seem to be grippier/stickier when I'm on my period. Maybe that's a consolation prize for feeling all bloaty and bleah. 😉
