The dancer’s name is Danielle Rueda-Watts, and all I can say is DAMN! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
I just love her!! I’ve never seen a pole performance so in sync with the music. This appeared to be her only pole video on YouTube, and it said it was posted a year ago. Anybody know anything about her? There’s a move she does at about 1:12 that I just can’t figure out. She is facing the pole (high in the air), legs swinging with a split grip. Then she manages to twist around so that she’s in a seated position with her back to the pole (this position might be called twisted ballerina?) (This is not a good description!!) Anybody ever seen this move??

wow! I actually have that song on my pole playlist lol… I have no idea what the move is tho…
There are some more videos of her if you google her….From what I have found she is in Las Vegas… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey Mindy,
It’s actually a chinese pole move, but I have no idea what it’s called.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
I use it as a fun way to get into the ballerina. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
Oh my god that one comment is right she doesn’t have a belly button! I wonder why…
-
LOL! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif You’re right!!
I hadn’t even noticed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif Maybe that explains her level of awesomeness https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -
There was another thread about her somewhere.. but i can’t remember if there was any more info about her though.
It’s funny that you mentioned that move cuz i just started working on that in my last practice! Danielle makes it look so easy, but you gotta really swing yourself around with momentum (i do, anyway). I banged my foot on the pole doing it too, LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif -
LOVE her! She was a pole A palooza winner too I think.
I wish I knew what the name of that trick is. I can do it and almost every time, but I noticed I still slip down a bit so I like to be at the very top of my pole. You have to scissor your legs to get enough momentun to turn.

I hadn’t heard of her until the ‘This Is It’ thread, but she is awesome! I love how she moves so well to the music, and the 1:12 move–someone should do a tutorial on that. I’ve never seen it until now.
Also, she’s got really good muscle tone. I don’t know why, but it always impresses me when I see women like that. Maybe because I strength train a lot and appreciate how hard you have to work to get that fit.

Wow, she is awesome!
I like that move too at 1:12. . . I’m trying to figure out her hand positioning, but it looks a lot like the combo I saw Fiyah Starta doing. .
I saw a belly button! Her core is just pure muscle that you can hardly see a thing! hehehe

I first saw Danielle a few years ago on a video VJ Pablo uploaded before this one:

It was the same dance vid but with different music over it. This was the first time many of us saw Jenyne Butterfly as well was through VJ Pablo.

I stumbled across this video once upon a time when I was looking for inspiration….and I definitely found it. She really is a LOVELY dancer!
-
Hmm! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I totally saw a bellybutton there! It’s just very flush with her skin, not really any indent.
Also, she is really awesome! I love her style! New favourite added to the list! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
This was one of the first pole vids I saw, she’s just awesome.
I just googled her and she was in Birtney Spears’ Circus vid and one of Michael Jackson’s shows, now works for Cirque du Soleil = total aerial queen.
