Awesome! Well let me know if you do go and we can meet up!

Pole Expo is in Las Vegas at the Palms September 4-7.

I’ve been able to shoulder mount for quite some time now, but when I moved, my new pole instructor suggested something: Place your hands high up on the pole so if you were to “pull the pole over your shoulder,” your hands would end up in line with your lower abs. It really helped me to get better leverage and to be able to lift into the shoulder mount!

Check out videos by Mina and Nadia. Their doubles moves are so good!
-
Thanks for sharing! I love geeking out over pole star videos!
-
I would love to be more fluid during dance and combos! I am always over-analyzing everything and it is very apparent when I watch videos of myself. Other than that, I really want to get the Phoenix, get my Jade super-flat, and be able to touch my toes to my head (back flexibility). Yay for awesomeness in 2014!

If you’re wearing heels, stick the pole to your leg (the area between your calf and ankle).

This is also kind of a commute for you, but I go to Envy-Fit in Bremerton. Adrienne is a great instructor and is super knowledgable about moves, spins, variations, and safety. The studio is huge with about 15 foot 45mm X-Poles! It’s just a couple blocks from the ferry terminal too!

Lana Lee! Me and one of my friends will be taking BadAzz Tricksters and Flow and Combos too!!

I think they were exactly right by saying that BMX and mountain biking use the same apparatus, but are completely different. If they want to call what they are doing “Pole Sport,” that’s fine because it is completely different from “Pole Dancing.” I don’t like that they are trying to change what pole dancing is. Yes it’s sexy and provocative and stemmed from strip clubs, but it also showcases a person’s agility, stamina and grace. If they want to wear unitards and do an “F10,” so be it. I’ll be over here showing off my clavicular notch while gluteal dancing in my sexy outfit!

That’s true, but keep in mind that the fabric is stretchy. Good luck!

I found that their size chart was accurate in helping me find my size in the Mikaela shorts.

@koidragon-I love that website!! I guess I’m technically “blerching” right now since I’m messing around on this forum when I should be working! Whoops!

If you haven’t yet, read Born to Run. Super motivational. Also, for shoes, I highly recommend Mizuno minimalist shoes. It’s good to condition your feet to running almost barefoot. It works more foot and leg muscles for sure!

Me!!! I’m so excited, it’s all I can talk about! Bummed that Zoraya’s intermediate/advanced workshop is sold out though! Oh well, so many others to take! Eeeek!!
