these moves are not as easy as they look–Help??
watching Eva Bembo. I love her style. I have long felt bored with watching trick trick trick on the pole and she is so interesting to watch. How on earth is 1:36-2:00 possible: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=807638025919323&set=vb.100000193995304&type=2&theater
Any tips on these? It’s like she’s just floating. I tried today to no avail and am nudging out some of my trick goals to accomodate more bottom-of-the-pole/floor moves into my dance repertoire. 🙂

Those look easy to you? There are 2 big things in there that I see that you need to be able to do, first a one handed deadlift handstand and second an iron X. Even a proper iguana lift or deadlift handstand would be a good start.

I am a permanent passenger on the Bembo train. That woman is incredible. I love that she doesn’t bust out trick after trick after trick but the work she does is soooooo deceptively impossible lol.
-
Pause the video at about 1:44 and look at the rotation of that top arm and shoulder. Dude, the top of her shoulder is in an unnatural position! I am thinking part of this may be a genetic ability to move her joints in that way, kinda like those that easily can do twisted grip stuff.

Love it, polergirl! In a permanent passenger too! Chem, I really meant the rolling around on the floor stuff, how hard could that be? 😉 And it appears that being able to push into the floor with one hand would help lift into the moves, but it wasn’t really workin for me!
-
Yeah, rolling on the floor like that is not as easy as she makes it look. Period. She reminds me of the Liquid Motion crew.
-
exactly–liquid. And I’ve been doing this long enough to know things aren’t ‘easy’ per se but damn! Shouldn’t I be able to do everything without much effort by NOW??! Haven’t I paid my dues?! lolol
-
Wow! That was HOT!!!! I love all that floor work! Easy though? No.
-
OMG!! that was beautiful!! when I do floor work I just look like a flailing turtle LOL……something else to work on in 2014
-
OMG I have never known of her until now, she’s so amazing! I just watched almost all of her videos and I love her style. Thanks for the post Sparrow 🙂
(Sorry I have no useful tips about her technique) -
While fluidity and koordination are definitely prerequisites to be able to do moves like this, the weakest link can anyway be what kind of foor we’re using. The floor in the vid looks kinda “slidey” and the pants are probably not a coincidence either. Using for example a wooden “parquette” floor can be a little hell. It grips the skin and is very hard and unpleasant for the knees. Sometimes I do some movements on the floor in pants that looks nice and fun, but then it’s anyway impossible in my poling clothes. The best attire for floor work (on many kinds of floors) like long leg warmers, pants and knee protection are not what is good for working on the pole, which is a pity 🙁

Sorry that didn’t answer your questions either, but was just what has come to my mind many times regarding floor work 🙂

The woman is fluid beyond belief. The bit in this video about 35 seconds in where she lifts her legs from kneeling and stands up is deceptively simple looking, but so beautiful. I tried it, it was not fluid… I guess it’s strength and extreme control, gotta work on it.
-
I love the way she ripped up her knee hi’s so to give her both slide ability on the floor and grip ability on the pole.
-
Ooh the part at 2:47 in that last video is awesome! I’m so trying that tomorrow!
-
I have not seem that performance thanks for sharing!!! I will use it as more inspiration for my floor work as I am teaching myself at the mo xx
