Whoops cross post with Veena. Yes love those suggestions too!
Is a pole hold hop same as prance? I thought they were same. Prance is already in.

Easy up already in, how about cross steps to replace chair and hip circles to replace carousel?
-
Would it be better to wait til February then? I know we are all very excited, especially me but if a thing is worth doing it’s worth doing REALLY CHUFFING WELL and to have Veen demo it would be THE BEST.
Also if it has #SV I don’t want to bring the SV brand into disrepute by posting up half assed crap demos.

I hope everything is ok for you in January Veena.
That’s a good suggestion about the elbow stand Saeyh, how about we replace it with a martini spin? Hopefully Lucca could show us what it is because I think I know it but call it a Señorita.
I had a thought – could we make this challenge hosted by ‘StudioVeenaUsers’ so it’s clear we are all different level, at-home polers doing this to improve out practice, for fun? And have the #studioveena?
Maybe we could do a rota to demo the moves? If Veena has time to demo that would be amazing. Otherwise I guess I can shoot the first week’s worth and then put it up the day before. Still feel a bit strange about being the demo guru though because I am really relearning all this stuff myself after neglecting it. -
Personally I am proud of my guns.
I show them off!
Buy different sweaters – embrace your sexy flexi arms! 💪👗💋 -
I just had the thought that #beautifulbeginnerbasics is a really long hashtag and #polebasics or similar might work better.
Also I am happy to do this every day – but I am not an instructor like kino yoga or Veena and I feel embarrassed at the idea of people thinking I am setting myself up as some kind of expert when all I am doing is trying to improve the fundamentals of my own practice, hopefully in fun company.
Is it usual for people to expect a demo every day or the day before with an explanation? Because I’m not really qualified to do that. And with no childcare and my preschooler off school my poling time is v limited in early Jan.

Awesome! Thanks SO much! How about it being jointly hosted by a gang of us?maybe Maravilla, Lucca, Freddie, yourself, and me and Veena too if she wants?
We probably need to agree on the content by end of today as Christmas is looming and we need to give you time to make the graphic and send it to us to post on IG…

Welcome! It is lovely here!

Welcome! I used to ride many years ago – I think the core control, balance and body awareness you develop in dressage will be really helpful for your pole practice. Plus the glutes and thigh muscles from riding! And of course all riders know how to fall safely hee hee! Hope you enjoy your pole adventure and the camaraderie here on this lovely site.

Evanescence Wake Me Up would be amaaazing to dance to, comes on all lyrical emo flow tastic then BAM! I would pay to see you TWERK to that!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXcdYBh3hgg

Yes!! If I was choreographing you I would have you walk on all demure and do a very perfect, floating arms pointing toes, graceful slow typical pole dance walk pirouette and simple pole spin and dip to a slow, moody emo rock intro. Then drop squat and TWERK THE HELL of it as the music CRASHES into fast BADASS tempo. Seriously you would blow the roof off. You have amazing skills.

Yeah prancing!
I think we used to call the leg up fold over pose ‘droopy drawers ‘
