Ah yes. That is pretty dang close. The main differences would be the legs stay straight throughout the move and in the splits position till about 1/2 then the second catches up to the first, you would go immediately into a second cross ankel release and repeat to the floor but at least 2x in a row (she’d have to be slightly higher), and if it was the slow and controled version (the way way harder one) it would be more of a controled decent around rather than a fall. That grip seemed to work pretty well too. I wonder if other grips would work if some people didn’t feel secure in that particular grip.
YAY! I’m happy that, for the most part, it actually can be done. Now I just need to practice a crap ton more, get super strong, and find a really tall pole. Hahaha, it’ll be a long while before I do but it can be in my future to dos.

Welcome!
I think any music is okay as long as every other word isn’t a swear word. A few are fine (at least thats how it seems). I think beyond that as long as you are not stark naked you can post just about anything.

Happy Birthday!!!

In the dream it just was a cool way to get back down to the floor so my controled version ended in some front splits on the floor body facing the pole, but in the fast one I just went to standing because I think even my dream self was worried about injury from dropping in splits (I know people can but it always worries me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif ). But if you wanted you could always just end still off the ground with a pole sit or anything you want from a cross ankle release/pole sit since that would be the position you’d be in. Let me know how any of your attempts go if you decide to try it (but be safe too!).

Yes, I’d bet Jenyne or Felix could do it too. Now how to make them try it? Hmmm… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I don’t know what a bow and arrow fall looks like but it prob is pretty close to what I dreamed based of the few pics I could find of the static move, you would just do it over and over again.
The grip is what I wonder about too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif In the dream I’m pretty sure it was just the (double) cupped grip but I’m not sure if that would be secure enough. To bad dreams don’t cover practicalities like this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Congrats!

Jamillas are good. She covers a warm up, break down of moves and strength. The DVD (individual and set) progresses in the order from "easiest"to "hardest" (I use quotes because everyone has different opinions on what is hard and what is not, DVD 1 starts with walking does a swing-y thing with one foot on the ground, then spin, etc.). I think you could work out with it. She doesn’t say do this then this then this like a normal workout dvd but since it generally goes in order you could easily make your own workout.
Not sure if that helps answer your question but hopefully it helps a little

Momentum and increased rotation are pretty much the same thing. Couple things I found helped me were to push off the ground harder and more away from the pole than around it and also to hold my one hand staying on the pole lower than I would for most other spins.

Me too about the underwear becoming thongs (or close to it) because of a lot of booty. I hear volleyball shorts work well for solving the butt peekage problem. I haven’t tried it, but it makes a lot of sense. just an idea in case the lighting thing doesn’t work or if it is too hard to see the moves.

He stares? That’s kinda weird. I just told my old roommates/bf to not be around (hang out in their room, go hang out with friends, or just don’t watch me) when I practice cause it is distracting and then I can’t focus on working on my new moves.
Good luck with fighting the grey. -
if mine does that I don’t reloosen the screws. I just check the alignment of the Xs and retighten. If I reloosen them then it keeps happening so I just tighten from where it is and that does the trick.
-
sometimes mine does that when I switch back from spin to static. What I do is just wiggle the pole a bit and then tighten some more and that does the trick. I guess when I first do it, it either isn’t in the perfect spot or need a bit of wiggle before it can be totally tightened

Welcome!
The bruises and raw skin go away after a while, but in the meantime you just sorta force your skin to toughen up. However, then you learn a new move and are hanging off a new patch of skin or the same patch in a slightly different way and it is the same story all over again… I think of it as kind of a rite of passage for each new move. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
