Wow! she sure is flexible! and that move at 3:32 is amazing!
-
Yes she is fab, I’m pretty sure she won Miss Pole Dance UK (or similar) the year before last? But don’t feel too bad about not being as flexible as her, if memory serves me correct she was in a (possibly eastern european?) circus as an acrobat/performer for quite some time before taking up pole dancing.

dannnnng her legs are crazy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
LOVE the outfit too!!! anyone know where to find something like that? its impossible to find 2 piece flashy stuff like that! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif -
ok. omg. first move a standing over split into split grip holds. just… I can’t watch this… I can’t NOT watch this. 3.09 she looks like she’s popped her leg out of it’s socket to get that… but looking closer it’s like a split with a backbend. 3.34 no handed split. whhhaaat. ok, sapphirecatzeye said it best: her legs are crazy!
I thought ice-skater when I saw her outfit, but they’re all fully covered in mesh and fabric and have skirts. Then I thought gymnast, but then they’re pretty covered and one-piece too. Balera does some cute and funky seperates including sparkles and metallics…

Alesia was at the Worlds last year in Jamaica – I can’t remember what she was placed, but she is mind-blowingly bendy. Think she has a move named after her as well – it’s on wikipole – looks like she had the same costume on at the Worlds as she was wearing at Deb’s Pole Academy opening. I can’t get it to post a link, but it’s under Alesia https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
A friend of mine was at the launch (gutted I couldnt’ go!) and she was saying she is just abnormally bendy – a la Felix https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

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 -
That’s the one!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Couldn’t get it to copy and paste myself so thank you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
My friend described how she did it and it sounded like it should be easy, but nooooooooooooooo!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
She did go to circus school in Belarus tho so I think they are particularly bendy in Russia aren’t they? Lots of amazing gymnasts and bendy people in Cirque du Soleil who originated in Russia. She looks so serene when she does it as well doesn’t she? I’d be all grimace -y and red!

I was very much reminded of Felix when I was watching her… must be a flexible person thing.
A few of those moves took a little while to set up, though, kinda broke the flow of the performance in my opinion.
Very, very impressive, though, I faved it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

wow she is bendi https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif oversplits always amaze me…scare me lol and amaze me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
