I did 2 Halloween performances last year…
Here are the songs:
The Zombie Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPNqub966Tw
Love Me Dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XH3oMNKApIThis month I’m doing a performance to Crazy by Gnarles Barkley… and I start off in a straight jacket. Which is kind of spooky too 🙂

Xpole actually sells powder coated now Rune 🙂 I’ve been wanting to try one myself. They come in Black and Pink I think.

PS- thats not me, i just found it on google 🙂

I know pegasus as this move… Where top hand/elbow is holding the back leg, and your move open in a front split than the other pic 🙂

This was a not so great video of my entry from brass monkey which i found a lot more gentle on the shoulder/body… 🙂 http://www.instagram.com/p/BGZtbA9jLAk

I am confused… by deadlift, you mean… essentially an aerial/no momentum handspring, correct? I know there are so many confusing terms in pole. This is what I consider a “deadlift” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9Z3m9Bz89Y Anyway, I don’t think it would possible to do that without being able to handspring. But again, we may be on different pages.
Anyway… I always like to read the descriptions before I sign up for a class or workshop… There may be mandatory prereqs…. if not they may give you tips and tricks and things you can work on… or it might be a total waste of time and money. There are times I took things above my level and I felt inspired and there are times I took things above my level and felt defeated and sad.
Also I took a handspring workshop and I felt like it was too much for me. (I can handspring now, I couldn’t then) but essentially it was an hour of the SAME thing, or working towards the same thing… its really hard on your shoulders. By the end I felt like I couldn’t get anywhere close because I was exhausted and I felt pretty defeated. I much prefer a mixed tricks class. But that is personal preference.
🙂 Just something to think about.

I haven’t seen any tutorials for it but I have worked on it in class.
I have tried a bunch of times from Scorpio but personally I find the entry from brass monkey a lot easier. I do like the look from inside leg hang so I am going to keep working on it…
I do think Veena could probably come up with some good tips 🙂

Hey sorry I didn’t get a chance to read everything… but I just want to let you know you’re a very healthy weight! Pole takes times, it uses different muscles than most other activities. Like you could be an awesome runner, and wouldn’t expect to be a wiz on skiis, Right? Be patient with yourself. It will come, and probably pretty quickly since you are athletic..
I just wanted to point you in the direction of two very tall and athletic ladies who amaze me constantly. Kyra Johannesen is a co-owner of Body & Pole so strong and beautiful. She seems to be choreographing a lot lately so her instagram is a lot of other people and not as much her, but it’s still worth checking out… https://www.instagram.com/kyrajohannesen/
And Kasia an instructor at Body & Pole… https://www.instagram.com/nemoschaospheres/
I’m just pointing out two women who sound like they are of a similar build to you… but trust me there are many many more. And many more who weigh more… Pole is for everyone. Every body type and every gender. The more you do it, the more you’ll be able to find happiness in your own journey. I know I have.

Yeah, I also drive almost an hour each way to the studio so I kind of feel like I need to maximize my schedule.
The other day the girls were learning front and back hook spins. And that’s fine, I also like to review the basics… But I can’t do that all class. Because I’m not slowly walking into it, or fumbling through it like I did the first time I tried it, I can easily do 2-3x as many spins as some of the beginner girls! And I’m sorry, doing static spins for an hour is rough on the hands and shoulders! So yeah I’ll give it a few goes, then kinda do my own thing.
I do try and be respectful though 😬

Ha. I’m probably one of those annoying girls! I go to a beginner class on Wednesday…. It’s titled a beginner class but does end up mixed level!
I know it’s not the nicest thing… But they only have 2 morning classes a week… And I pay for an unlimited membership.
I try and do 2 things to be curtious…. 1 is be encouraging and humble. Cheer other girls on and remind them I was there once too, and often tell them how much faster they are getting it than I did. And 2 try not to take up a lot of the instructors time.
Really I go for the warm up and beautiful tall poles and lots of leg room 😬😬😬
Then Friday is a true mixed level class… So that one I get more instruction.
Part of me does feel bad at times but personally the only time I was upset by a more advanced poler being in my class is when the teachers seem to favor them and spend more time with them…
If it is like my case, it may be a schedule thing. Maybe the advanced girls need more options at different times?!?

I think that’s a difficult entry.
I find wrist sit and martini to be the easiest entries. Here are me doing both 😛

What is your entry? Static or Spin?
It’s a favorite move of mine as well. I’m brainstorming tricks but, pushing hard into it with your hands really locks you in.

Well even if you side climb you’d have to come back to “center” because in side climb your top leg is in front of the pole and in vortex it’s behind… Could you throw a pencil in there? And maybe even an aerial body wave, then vortex? Or is that starting to get overly complicated?
-
If I’m picturing it correctly I think a side climb would be more natural and possibly easier there. 🙂
