  HIP HOLD!

  Posted by RoxyPink on March 25, 2009 at 12:55 pm

  So last night I was kinda in a funk and just wanted to dance a little bit…and well as usual it ended up being a pretty good practice. I have been terrified of doing a hip hold and something struck me last night when I was working on some inverts…..I did a scorpio/gem switch straight into a hip hold….OMG! I was suprised that it didn’t hurt! I did a few more and then pulled out the camera….unfortunately, all you see is my white butt! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I could post it tonight….but like I said it is not the best angle. You see my legs and hands come off but all you see is booty. I wasn’t planning on practicing tonight, but maybe I’ll try to get a better vid or at least a picture to post.

  oh yeah…I also managed to finally do a hands free knee swing…up next is the marley

  Hey Twista,

  There is a great pic of a knee swing on the http://www.wikipole.org site under moves directory….I can’t seem to copy a link on to here. Anyways, it’s where you have one leg hooked on the pole, the other leg extends down the pole. I’ve seen it done with top hand on pole above knee, top hand holding foot of hooked leg and then no hands…I’ve been able to do the first two…and now the third! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif This is one that has different names (star, star gazer, I think Jamilla calls it a princess???).

  Thanks!

  Awesome! I am working on this move right now… I can get into it but can’t hold the grip for longer than a sec… I want to be able to do it and wave my legs like I’ve seen some dancers do. Good for you girl!!!! Nice work w the knee swing too!
