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!

I recommend you to watch videos of Elena Shtalinskaya (Ð•Ð»ÐµÐ½Ð° Ð¨Ñ‚Ð°Ð»Ð¸Ð½ÑÐºÐ°Ñ), 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
