Moves you dont like?

I think the thing about legs wiggling is that very few do it gracefully… Amy has a tutorial on leg waving that explains this variation:

That's totally the thing I'm talking about. I understand how it's done and what it's mean to look like, but I don't like it. When Aerial Amy is demo'ing that one from the floor? That's the move I call "the vagina monster," especially when you walk your butt forward. O.O
-
I'm just going to have to pile on and say…spatchcock. The first time I saw it I thought my eyeballs were going to fall out of my head. It looks like something pornographic you'd do to a barbie doll at a certain age…
-
Dainty or not, I think that move is ruined for me now. I don’t care how nice the lines or pointed the toes are, all I can see are bug antennaes instead of legs. Sad. Really wanted to get that move too, but not if that’s all I can think of it from now on. Annnnd I’m not gonna have perfect legs and feet the first million times so it’s like why even bother w/ it?

Hahaha "vagina monster"!! Oh God that made me laugh so much. To be honest when she was doing the headstand that looked ok, not something I'd ever choose to do and I still don't like it but it didn't make me cringe QUITE as much as normal…I think she does her movements quite well, whereas so many people randomly wave their legs around with no control and it just looks hideous. Don't even get me started on the ones on the floor!! How those are meant to be sexy, elegant, graceful, visually appealing or add to a dance routine in any way I will just never understand…the moving forward one looks like something out of Alien haha. No disrespect to the girl in the video, I just really don't like those particular moves!
-
Haha aww Serzi sorry if I've ruined it for you, it's just what immediately springs to mind whenever I see anyone doing those leg movements. Like a cockroach or something in its final moments, on its back desperately trying to roll back onto its front…I'm probably not making this better am I? 😛
-
LOL No, I think the mental image is hilarious! Kinda freed me from the spell that move had over me. Was kinda obsessing over it at one point, like “It’s so simple! Whyyyyyy can’t I do this!”. xD

Vagina monster is not just the wiggling legs, it is the walking on your butt with your legs in a V shape. When you do this your legs move to get the momentum. Charley does it in this video starting at 1:38. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngrATOjcTCM
Basically just imagine walking on your butt cheeks but trying to do it sexy. THAT is Vagina Monster!
-
LOL At a strip club I went to the girls called that a “crab walk”, which always kinda disturbed me.
-
I am not really sure where the whole "vagina monster" name came from but I want to say it happened in Detroit.
-
Doesn't Veena call it the booty scoot? It's a pretty adorable name for an otherwise dirty move!
-
It reminds me of something out of The Exorcist….
-
Ahahaha!! x’D Okay, I officially love this thread now! Imagine someone doing this vagina-monster move and a nun throwing holy water on them going “The power of Christ compells you!”
I’m depraved, but somehow I find that hilariously sexy. Lmao!

I just realized, I think Janeiro is an awkward looking move. I don’t hate or dislike it exactly, but it has very unusual lines and I can see how some polers may dislike it. Btw, I dub the Janeiro as the official Pole Move of 2012, Superpain as the move of 2011, and the Iron X as move of 2010.
-
Yes, I call vagina monster booty scoot! lol
I LOVE the Janeiro especially with legs in split variation.
I see why some wouldn't like the "wiggly legs" or open V leg positions but I think they can be done tastefully, they don't always have to come across as vulgar, at least not to me. Maybe I'm just that dirty! HA! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif
I don't like the Twisted grip lift, it's over done, (I'm far more impressed with cartwheel mounts and Handsprings) and not something that most dancers who value their joints should be doing. Leave the Twisted Grips to the Professionals. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
