Charley…. i may just quote everything you have just said… that was exactly the point I was trying to get across. I orginally started writing it with the intention of not mentioning stripping or exotic dancing at any point…. but it is impossible not too… I cant deny the fact that it exhists and it is actually an important part of the development of pole dancing. If it didnt happen in the clubs would we be doin it for fitness now?!

Thank you sssooo much for all the help! Starting to write it now. Thanks Runemist34 for the tip on if i mentions strippers, this will then what they will picture. 🙂 I just wish I was better on the pole so can do it justice. But will just have to explain how amazing it is.
I think I might do a demonstration on why I have to wear so little…. like a teddy and a jade to show the skin grabbing, I have mentioned about Chinese pole too where you can be fully clothed. (By the way…. i have no issues with strippers…. I used to work in a bar myself. Just dont think the ladies of the W.I would 'get it' 🙂
I wanted to show some clips of felix or alethea, etc. But there will be about 30 – 40 women and they wudnt all be able to see my laptop. 🙁 so everything will have to be on handouts. Does anyone have any suggestions on pictures? I am going to printout some competition posters, like the pole art one (which i think is beautiful)
And V, thanks for the idea about moms getting back into shape…i want to be able to relate to them and ths is a great idea.
I need to start thinkin of a routine now as well… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
Thanks for the help…. and obviously will still appreciate more suggestions…. i think I have written about 5 mins worth…. just another 25 to go. 🙂

maybe do a mini "birthday party dance"…. dance to your favourite party song… or the cheesiest. I have a few in mind. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Fill your pole room with balloons…. (although cud end up being amusing once goin back to the floor.) Anything "partyish"… hehe.
I'd love to celebrate Studio Veena somehow…. dnt think I would have stuck with pole without the support here!!! 🙂 xxx

Hey!!
The superman was my nemesis!! I thought I was never going to get it, then my teacher showed me a different way of getting into it from a flatline scorpio! Ive put a video up on here titled superman! With 4 different ways of getting into it. The last one is the one that emotioncatcher talked about, coming from a pike. I struggle with this one as my hand ends up to close to my bum but does mean you dont have to do the turnover for the superman.
Hope it helps!!! 🙂

I have no background in dance or gymnastics. (i hated everything like it when I was in school) so i am not very flexible at all. But like most polers… i wanted to achieve the splits to help pole, (stupid jade)
anyway… ive been poling for over 1 and a half years now, and have seen a HUGE difference in my splits. I must admit… I don't stretch everyday. But when I have a really good pole practise which gets me really warm my right leg lead splits is ssssoooo close. I have recorded all my progress, and as soon as my bum actually hits the floor, i'm going to post it. I definitely think if I stretched everyday, it would make a difference but most of the time I am just too busy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Id like to see peoples before and after pictures, definitely helps you on your splits journey to know it can be done!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Quite like to dance to a song from the year you were born! I love the fact that pole is for any age!!! Also had a look at some songs from my year, which I had not even realised where released then. lol.
Also think it could be fun to dance to a different language, I have a few italian songs. But think I would try and do something different for the challenge. 🙂

Couldn't help but being nosey…. Fallowfield is pretty much down the road from me!!!!! 🙂 Bout a 20 minute drive. So if you r ever up for a pole jam or anything… let me know. (Im pretty much on here everyday!!) lol.
I miss my pole buddy (lozzii)!! you definitely pick things up quicker I think when you have a pole friend…. and someone to compare bruises with!! 🙂 xxx

Alethea Austin has to be up there with one of my idols. I love her style and think her floorwork is amazing! Ive been lucky enough to have a workshop with her. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Shadow (Amanda Duffy) is defo the queen of spin in my mind… this is the video that made me fall in love with her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSj377tqBB4

id be interested to find this out too. (im from the uk 2) I was doing really well last year with my splits progress.. and now i feel like im back to square 1.
Do you always need to warm up before strecthing? or can you do stretches but just hold them for a much shorter time if your not warmed up? x

Thanks for all the suggestions!!! Think i might try some drops and things and practise left handed. Like my teddy… (oh my god… i forgot how much it hurt at the beginnin) And I think amy's suggestions will keep me busy for a while!!!
Thank you… anymore suggestions appreciated… I always come to a blank on what to work on next… think I am going to have to start writing things down. 🙂

I record every practise… cos I know the one time I dont record I will get a new trick or move and not have video evidence! 🙂 Also, I find it really helped me for example doin a gemini… and in my head my hands and feet looked nice but lookin back at the video I could see it didnt. lol
Just had to buy myself an external hard drive to put all my videos on as my laptop has run out of space. :-p

i was wondering… would a reverse grab/ pretzel spin be classed as a double or single spin? Same question for any reverse grab variation.
Also, it says 1/3 of spins should be used with the non dominant, so minimum spins is 6 (3 single, 2 double, 1 triple) so only 2 of these would be needed to be left handed? (More if I did more spins)
Thank you!! x
