Haha Korinne, GIRL YES. Thank you! I DO have stubby arms and legs so it's cool, no worries. This really just answers my question of "Is this a body type issue?" and do other people feel the same way I do 🙂 xoxo

Thanks so much. Great pictures. I actually do know where the placement is meant to be and have the pole in said “pocket” but what I meant by not technically having that pocket is that I am currently 30 lbs over weight and carry all of my weight in my waist. So it truly makes it very difficult to wedge the pole in that space when there’s a little too much happening in that area; -) I will keep it up! Thank you all!

Well that’s probably my body type issue then. Due to my body type I do not have a “pocket.” I will keep trying different ways, cheers!

Thank you for the tips everyone! I actually do the Allegra already from a flatline without an issue, but it is that rib crunching feeling that prevents me from reaching down for my foot. I attempted the move like the video showed from an extended butterfly, but I’m not that coordinated yet to make it go so beautiful and quickly;-)
I’m definitely going to try from a Scorpio first and reaching with my elbow first! That’s a great innovative tip! Videos are helpful as well: -) Will update soon… Xx -
Super good point. I think this competition I'm having a few plans of action: Plan B for Lost Moves, Plan C for Jet Lag, Plan D for unbeknownst forces of nature…
I'll try videoing!

Phoenix – So what would your best suggestion be then for how to deal with these "lost moves" that we have secured in our pieces? Would you have a "Just Do It" attitude, or would you play it safe and have a "Plan B" if you predict that you won't nail it come show time?
I haven't had a grip problem with pole size on the cocoon either, but definitely for other things that involve more thighs and armpits. It's not less secure, just less comfortable…

That's the thing Kyrsten! I wonder if I'm psyching myself out even because I know I want to handspring in my competition routine…maybe the pressure is too much hehe And I totally agree about pole circumference affecting trick. I feel like I've learned so much on the fatty poles that it's hard to appreciate the ease of a skinny grip 🙂

Elektra: I'm living in Mitte at the moment and find myself escaping to Kreuzberg often! Also been thinking that even though I love Berlin to bits I might be more suited to live in Paris (considering I can actually speak French…although everyone really does speak English here anyway.) But yes, I am not pleased with "unreliable moves." I have a competition in a few weeks and there's so many moves I'd like to include, moves I've been doing for years, but I just don't trust them under pressure. Practice practice practice!
Blondebird et al: I'm having a bit of schadenfreude right now – it's good to know I'm not the only one losing moves here!
I have a suggestion from a Personal Trainer friend of mine, who suggests I actually try round offs & cartwheels o the floor to get my bravery back. What's funny is I can be upside down on the pole no problem, but take away the pole, and I'm a scared little rabbit! I will let you all know how this works.

No way! I was planning on making this same move next year! Used to live in the UK and am deciding to go back and wanted my excuse to be pole dance related. Good luck! Keep us posted on what you find 🙂 xx

Thanks LRu Studios! I still want to find whoever yelled out "You can do it!" at the beginning. That made all the difference in my confidence 🙂
