    LOL…yes a basic translator. It works well for basic only!

    I am Russian yes, but I live in Canada, not the USA.

    I have only had the opportunity to speak with Miss Pole Dance Russia. She was trying to attend the pole camp, but due to the crisis, is unable to attend. I have also spoke with EAPDR (Elite Academy Pole Dance Russia). Are you familiar with them?

    June 18, 2009 at 3:02 pm in reply to: Calories burned?

    There is a variance based on age, sex, pre-existing physical condition, so on and so forth.

    The variance is anywhere from 300-650 calories in 1 hr.

    Every year at the Interntional Pole Camp we do a caloric burn rate assessment. Because we have every different aspect…both sexes, different ages, body types…weights and physical levels!

    One girl had 1563 calories burned in 2hours and 56mins! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif She was not an advanced student! No inverts at that point, just spins and climbs!

    But from 40 people surveyed at the event over 2 days…our average # is 490!

    Number of calories burned also involves Intensity levels…many people pole for pleasure…not professional like some of us…so we will have actually a higher burn ratio…but in actuality burn less calories due to physical condition!

    High Intensity can actually burn up to 100 calories in 10 mins based on the level of activity!

    Roxy,

    1st bum slide….inverted dismount

    X ankle release…NOT X leg…there is a difference…X ankle has the knees to the front of the pole…X leg has knees behind! Pull a sit up…extend arms out to sides so you are shaped like an "L" against the pole.

    Control the ankles to release and let the bum slide (on one cheek) to the floor, release for floor shoulder roll or lift kick off to floor.

    2nd bum slide….floor mount

    back to the pole..feet forward approx 1′. Both legs will slide forward as BOTH hands are attached to the pole behind you..dom up..sub down (basically reverse grab position). keep legs straight sliding down to bum.

    3rd bum slide….handstand dismount

    pole facing or back facing handstand. DO NOT allow pole to remain in contact with centerline of pelvis…not only will you nail all the nerve endings that were meant for pleasure not pain…you will have a very jerky dismount.

    Allow the pole to shift slightly left or right of pelvic bone, creating a "cup" for the pole to move across. Tilting the hips is imperative..we refer to it as the hip hinge, basically folding in half, as this is not a V split bend…but an actual hip roll. Allow the bottom to slide down the pole during dismount. The worst thing is to try this and get stuck before you feet reach the floor!

    Practice to increase range of the roll…back to pole, feet double shoulder width apart. bend at the hips only…fingers touch first, then back of knuckles, then palm…reduce the distance between your feet to increase range!

    Hope this helps!

    For those with lower flexibility levels…move your hands further away from the pole before the roll.

    Bum Slide….as in from a cross ankle release…

    or Bum Slide…as in from pole to floor (standing)

    or Handstand Bum slide, where you go from a split V handstand to split/or stand on floor

    There are a few moves referred to as the Bum Slide! LOL! I do teach all 3 if you need help! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
