Congratulations to you both! Just wanted to join in as im 19 weeks pregnant. Due date 14th august. I had been poling for 3 years so really worried about losing my strength. Id just started to get my SM, and gutted im goin to have to start over. I couldn’t pole at home so stopped poling. Really miss stretching too. I am looking to start a pregnancy yoga class. But if anyone has any other advice on exercises id really appreciate it. Luckily I have to big dogs that need walking, so I am at least doin some exercise. Also gutted im probably goin to have to start from fresh with my splits! Lookin forward to have an excuse to do some polin on the kids playground tho. 😀

Really gutted I can’t come to this. Would love to meet some veeners!! Just wanted to quickly say not to be nervous! Everyone at blush is so lovely and very welcoming! And a mixed range of abilities so you dont have to worry bout that either. Hope you all have a great time and hopefully they’ll b another one!! 🙂 xxxx

It is Blush Dance. I’m using my phone so dont know how to copy the web address. They do a few showcases as well so if anyone is around and wants to go see them, details are usually on the website. 😀 xx

So gutted I can’t make this. Specially as its with my studio!!! Would have loved to meet some veeners. You’ll all have a great time.. Becky is an amazing!! I expect to see lots of pics and videos!! Xx

it is just for a showcase, not for a competition. 🙂

In my mind, I know a jade should be completely flat, and I know other girls will more than likely do a flat jade in their routines! I don't want the audience to look at my not so flat jade and compare it to the others. 

I'm just gonna have to stretch EVERYDAY untill the showcase!!

Thanks ladies!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I definitely will be voting. I really loved the judges expressions when Bendy Kate and Justine McLucas did their routines! Just so happy pole dancing is finally get recognised for how absolutely amazing it really is! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif xx

I've got the multi coloured ones. My May Challenge has them in…. (they start at about 4 mins)

Only one of them is working. The blue lights flash more than the red. Think that could be because the red is only in the heel. BUT i love them. Just need to get new batteries for them now, and find somewhere else to wear them than just my pole room. 🙁 xxx

This always crosses my mind when I try and figure out a routine! For example… cupid to butterfly combo. I like the cupid to be facing the audience but then when I move into butterfly, to me it doesnt seem to be at the best angle. So I have to think what move would I like to showcase better.

Leg hangs never go right for me! lol.

Does this look like it would be ok to use? I am loving the idea of a solution to solve my sweaty hands!!! x

is this the spin where you do a back hook into a figurehead?

Here's a video where they do it at the beginning. (if it is the one you are talking bout)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY1gD4LaBnY

It's the first couple of spins they do. Unfortunately I can't do it, but ive heard you need to arch your back to get your arm through. In these spins in the video tho, they dont flip over their top hand. I think your meant to flip it if you want to go into a shoulder mount doing a cupped grip.

Hope this helps! x

Even though i wouldn't like to admit it… i consider myself an online dating expert. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I have been on too many dates to count and have had some relationships from them. Longest being 9 months. There are definitely pro's and con's to internet dating. A pro being you get to find a lot more info on someone than you wouldn't in a bar, get to pick who you think is good looking or not. But the big con being are they telling the truth.

Once I'd done the initial getting to know someone on the internet site, I would then use something like msn or skype (video skype is brilliant cos you can see what they really look like) to get to know someone a bit more. Then after I was 100% sure they were who they said they were and I liked them I would exchange numbers, have a few calls and see from there.

The main thing is to be safe if you did decide to go on a date, go to a place you know. Tell someone you are going on that date. I even got the guys registration plate from his car to tell someone. (That could be a little over the top but you can never be too safe.)

You will still end up going on bad dates… there is no denying that. But I found internet dating fun, and i had a lot more confidence than I would in a bar environment with approaching men. My mum met my sep dad on the internet and they have been together over 10 years. If im honest my boyfriend now was not off the internet. But I still tell people to give it a go…. just be safe! 🙂

Btw… i am 25… i had been internet dating on and off from 18 – 23. (hhmmm… maybe i shouldn't admit to that as well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)

Good Luck!! 🙂

move* not month! lol

I really struggled with the superman… ive got a vid on here showing  different ways to get into a superman…

https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4dcfe1ff-5a08-4dac-9508-41e00ac37250

First is the usually gemini, side V, to superman

2nd is flatline scorpio to superman and this was what helped me to get the superman.

3rd is from the floor, I find this quite difficult but sometimes feels safer as you are closer to the ground. 🙂

4th is from the pike hip hold. Becca Butcher showed me this was too! 🙂

 

It was all about my hand positioning that helped me…. needed my top hand to be higher and let me hips lower slightly so I was balanced properly!

 

Hope this helps, as I know this month was my biggest nemesis…. now its the shoulder mount! 🙂

[HazelHotpants]

i got my email update saying it was live!!! very exciting!!! 🙂
