How about all the pole sit moves? Swan, tuck, plank, twisted plank, hello boys? A good pole sit is super useful…

Ooh think that might be it! Think she shoulder mounted on spin, got into sailboat and let go and twister her torso to look down. And the looking up version must have been what flighter describes.

Thanks v much!

Bugsy just saw you posted here and wanted to say that I love your Twin Peaks theme/Falling choreo so much, it’s favourited on my phone.

If I’m ever back in London I’d love to take a class of yours.

Aha so it exists! It has been puzzling me so…
I think the lady had both feet braced/flexed and crossed, like how you do when learning CAR, for the back to pole version – same as you describe flighter – and for the no hand caterpillar one she was more braced with shin/calf crossed and flexed feet

It was on spin : I don’t think the physics would work on static. You have to lean out and away from pole whilst bracing against it I think –

To clarify: 2 different moves, one looking up, so back to pole, one looking down and facing pole.

I am hypermobile (although getting stiffer as I age!) knees not too bad usually but if they are playing up I lie on my back for all splits stretches. Lie on back draw one knee to chest stretching your other leg on floor straight. Pull quad towards shoulder, slowly extend leg. Point toes, flex feet, bent leg, straight leg, leg straight up, shin by nose, shin by ear, play around….

God I need to stretch now. Missed yoga for 3 weeks and really notice it.

Chair!

So sucks about sudden move drama, fire scare and no pole 🙁
You sound amazingly together about it though, damn well done.

Also got tuck hip hold sorted out.

Bruises from CAR, thigh holds, tuck hip hold and allegra practice but this was a good pole practice weekend!

I polekat I THANK YOU!
You rock! thanks so much for the tip about legs right up in CAR before leaning back; I got my CAR back and span in it too!
My teacher’s nice grippy 50mm pole helped too – much less ouch than 45mm

She is just fab.
Here she is free styling/pole storming for ideas before the show.

I love the idea of Latin/pole fusion too: we are starting out on some pole tango choreo in class and it’s so exciting.

Pole mash ups are great: a dancer, some music, some imagination and the means to spin, hang and fly … No partner required. Now where can that take you?
Anywhere you damn well want to go.
Which is why pole rocks and inspiring teachers just unlock so many wonderful possibilities…
