Thanks PennyGirl!!

I also teach yoga and I really thinks it helps me explain pole moves because I’m always examining the body! Let me know how it works and if you need help with anything! xoxo

Hi Foxy glad to know you are progressed with your knee hold https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif …I’m posting for any other girls working on this at the moment

The knee hold is one of my favorite pole moves. Getting it at first if very painful and tricky.

The KEY to the knee hold in my case was DRIVING MY HIPS FORWARD!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Leg placement must be correct and secure as well obliviously….

1.I start from the ground with my inside arm higher up on the pole than my outside…

2.then I hook my inside leg HIGH up on the pole ***where your legs bends opposite of the knee***…

3..from there bring your outside leg up to the pole & lock your feet together (you want to rest the pole right where the lowest part of the knee and the upper chin meet (if you feel your leg there is your knee cap, the bottom bone of your knee, then your chin begins).

4.from here your body is "in place" but you must push your hips forward and squeeze your butt cheeks together, sounds funny but it helps everything. (this increases the pain even more so be ready)

you should feel pretty stable here with your hands still on the pole. try taking your outside hand off and start to lean away slightly, keeping your hips engaged. if you feel your self slipping squeeze your legs more and drive your hips again. you may have to come off and reposition a few times before you feel comfortable. If you are sweaty put grip on the back on your top knee and on your lower leg as well.

I hope this helps you!

hm. how about if you have a bunch of different awards– so that basically everyone gets one– and phrase the invite something like,

we know that all the studios in the XX region have something amazing to offer, and we want you to showcase your studio’s talents and particular style in the first battle of the studios! we will be giving out awards such as "most artistic", "dramatic", "power poler", "most bootyshaking sass", (etc etc) so come and strut your stuff!

I like that and I can work the score cards to be like that. The only problem is only one studio gets the Pole2Pole Cover and the $1000. I could always add a Overall prize as well. That also works since Xpole is givng me a whole bunch of goods as prizes!

Amazing idea to have each studio walk away with a different title!

As for the $1,000 prize maybe you could have the studios vote for who they think should be the overall winner. If you leave it up to the crowd it could swing one way depending on which studio has the most people there. and if it is up to a judge then it may feel competitive….ohhhhhhhhhh. you could do a mixture. 1/2 studios voting and 1/2 judges voting for over all and individual. just a thought https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif xoxox

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Thanks ladies!!! I had no clue how to find this posting so sorry I didn’t write sooner…how do I find postings lol?

I started dancing at a studio in Ashburn on and off from april-october ’08 then left and taught myself stuff off youtube because I wanted to know everything there was to know about pole lol. But I just started dancing at Jessalynn’s studio in dc called Pole Pressure…def check it out. The atmosphere and energy is amazing…the ladies are so sweet…it is not competitive at all very encouraging and supportive. I take the metro it is a couple blocks from the McPherson stop.

I’ll make sure to post a notice when there are pole jams in the area please do the same! Feel free to find me on facebook…Lezah Piscopo. Hope everyone is dealing with the crazy crazy snow ok!
