2012 March Challenge
The March challenge will be RAINBOWS https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
This challenge is a bit different, and I hope you all don't mind.
Let me quickly explain, my oldest sister passed away 2 years ago in March, she loved rainbows and anytime I see one I always think of her! Rainbows are a happy, comforting, beautiful thing to me. What's YOUR rainbow, what does this symbol mean to you? When you see a rainbow how does it make you feel……. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I'm trying to leave this is open to interpretation, but if you need idea's feel free to ask.

Hey Veena! This sounds great!!! Can you describe what the rainbow pose is? Is it like a bridge? I know every move has so many names.
-
Oh I think I get it now. Actual rainbows!!! Ok. I see. This one will bring out some creativity!
-
lol yes, rainbows not any particular dance pose, but…if you wanted you could use a pose, like a bridge, to symbolize a rainbow I suppose!

There is a move called Rainbw on Pole Dance Dictionary.

It is like a cross-knee release where you hold on to your crossed foot and drop the straight leg so it's no longer pressing against the crossed leg. I did it in my last practice video, if you have a good CKR it's actually pretty easy!

Awe Veena, this is so special. I have yet to see a Rainbow since my fathers death a few weeks back. But I have seen other "signs" of him. Waiting to see my first Rainbow, it will make me cry.

What a wonderful challenge Veena! I’m a little stumped lol but I will think of something 🙂

Sounds great! Makes me wish I could do a "rainbow marchenko", but I doubt that's going to happen in my natural lifetime. http://poledancedictionary.com/moves/333/rainbow-marchenko/

I just thought of the perfect thing for this, but sadly I can't show it to you. Here is the story:
My boyfriend and I made a rainbow light-up pole last summer.
Basically, it was a steel pole with a steel spiral wrapped around it, light-up el wire wound in the spaces of the spiral (red-orange-yellow-green-blue), and then a clear, polycarbonate case. The crowning achievement was that my boyfriend figured out what was needed to wire the lights so that the pole could spin while the lights were on. (think: an electrical connector that works like a headphone jack- you can rotate the jack around without severing the connection) Anyway, we took this gorgeous creation and it's stage all the way across the country to Burning Man, where it was subsequently ruined within a day. Some big dudes thought it was fun to see how fast they could get it going, and somehow managed to *bend* the entire pole- even though my boyfriend had run computer simulations of the physical forces when designing it, to make sure it would withstand abuse. It was sad, and neither of us has gotten up the nerve to fix the darn thing yet- I don't think either of us wants to relive the disappointment. I'm going to post the only photos I have of it now, if you want to see.

I love it…and I love that you have such a happy memory related to your sister. *hugs*

Wow Elekta!! Thank you for sharing those photos!!!! It made me smile! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

My pleasure! I'm just thrilled to have found this site. At least the stage came out OK, so now when we have parties I just put my X-pole up there- it wasn't a total loss.
One more thing – at Burning Man the pole was on the main drag, in front of another art installation that was a color-changing wall of lights. I swear everytime we came back to camp there was a different group of drunk/high idiots who thought they were controlling the light wall's color changing effects by twirling the pole around. It was a huge joke by the end of the week!

Oh, I luv this challenge, can't wait to do it 🙂

Beautiful challenge idea Veena.

this makes me think of my grandmother. everytime she saw a rainbow she started to sing her favorite song. i can’t do much on the pole but i think ill try just so everyone can hear her song.
