these moves are not as easy as they look–Help??
-
How stunning was that video Genbob shared?! Ohmygosh!!! I loved that!! Sucha sexy and freaky performance! I loved the blindfold! Something I had not seen before.
-
Also thanks to SV, I think I will be following her from now on!!
-
bumping this up. I am seriously frustrated that I can’t seem to do any of those floaty moves, like the link I posted at 0:56. Can ANYONE do this?!? I swear it’s not possible!
-
I have learned from a lot of trial and error that much of her movement seems to depend on *exact* hand placement and joint angles. Like even though it looks like she falls/floats right into things, when I personally do them if I don’t have my hands and elbow/shoulder angles and placement JUST RIGHT I have a non-starter.
That is always the very first place I start when I try to break down a Bembo lol. OMG I have loved her work for so long. Her flow is deceptive! Seriously! :/
-
Yeah, I just learned about her early this year I think? I keep watching and trying to see just exactly how her placement is. You’re right, it HAS to be exact….urgh!!!!
-
This is going to sound weird but watch her knuckles and forearm muscles–they’ll give you clues as to which hand is bearing more weight, which one is pushing v pulling, etc.
Oh wow I sound like such a creeper. 😀
-
isn’t this similar to Natasha Wang’s B-girl move? I can hold the elbow grip variation of this easier than the twisted grip version that Eva does here. The placement can vary from person to person, just takes some experimenting, I like to rest it across the back of the bottom arm – it helps me to stop spinning backwards. You just keep yourself up through the core (think of keeping your hips lifted), balance and pushing/pulling with the hands. I also think elbow grip is easier to fully lift the body up in, split grip is much harder. Good luck, I hope I helped a bit? I have a video of me trying this move if you’d like to see my amateur attempts lol
-
@polergirl…we should totally creep her vids together sometime. hahahah!!
hmm @raven…I have done b-girl before but didn’t try with different grips and it’s been awhile. I will play with that again and see how I do. Yes, would love to see video!
-
How did I miss this thread! Wow I love her style, very similar to a few things I was working on recently…hmm feeling inspired!

I recommend you to watch videos of Elena Shtalinskaya (Елена ШталинÑкаÑ), she is one of the best (if not the BEST) in Russia in exotic pole dance.

Morgana – I love that spinning base plate thing Elena is using! never seen that before. Can you share anymore Russian polers with us? I know of the ones everyone talks about like sokolova, bembo, koda etc. but there’s so many more and usually written in russian so I don’t even know how to search for them lol
-
Gorgeous. She does make it look easy and effortless. I didn’t know about her before reading your post. Thanks for posting!

Raven Kai – these ladies have some FAB transitional work, IMO. Very creative. I don’t remember how exactly I found them, but I favorited them immediately. 🙂

Personally, I really like Elena Shtalinskaya the most, for me she is THE WOMAN. I am so lucky because my pole instructor is her student 😉 -
This has definitely motivated me to focus much more on being ‘slinky’. As far as the lift mentioned at the beginning of this video… I have no tips on how to be successful there, but I’m at least going to try it. XD
