Wild Roots - Absolutely brilliant! 6 Motivational Tips: How To Pull Yourself Together When You Feel Like Giving Up - PoleFreaks Community. After my article on 8 Things You Didn’t Know Before Entering A Pole Dance Class my dearest friends said that thanks to my “advertising” nobody would ever try pole dancing. “Mission accomplished,” – I thought, gleefully rubbing my hands and nastily giggling just like Dr.

Evil. So now all the potential competitors vanished in the blue, we can move on and discuss all those things that truly matter. Some months ago I got in a situation when the sky wasn’t blue any more, grass wasn’t green any longer and the pole was spinning in the wrong direction. I guess I’m not the only one who has had this moment of desperation when you feel like giving it all up. 1. Never forget that among all your friends saying “wow, I wish I could do all these tricks” you’re actually the only one who pulled herself together and had the courage to start. 2.

Pointing Feet Separate Sexy and Childbirth. How to Point Toes for Dancing. Toe Sit-ups for a Perfect Point The real trick behind pointed toes is pointing the foot. To point the foot, flex the foot at the ANKLE, not focusing on the toes at all. Danceadvantage's Toe Sit-ups are a great exercise for practicing your foot point. Here's my interpretation -- In a Toe Sit-up, you point your foot really hard, aiming for a straight line from knee to the top of your toes.

It's non-intuitive, but working backwards helped me understand. First, you point your toes. Now that your foot's pointed, it's time to flex your toes. Pointed Feet Make Pole Dancing Pretty Pointed feet make a huge difference in your pole routine. Pointing the foot gives the illusion the dancer is floating around the pole instead of plodding or stomping. Because your foot is always pointed, there's no more flex-foot lag when transitioning from the ground to the air. If your feet are already pointed, when you lift off the ground, your toes LOOK pointed, even if you're not concentrating on them completely. Miss Drusilla. Alright ladies and gents, It’s about time where the tough get going: Two months until Pacific Pole Championships!

I’ll be blogging about my competition training, tips I discovered along the way, and random thoughts leading to March 15th. I thought I would blog today about music selection for competitions. It’s one of the most important choices you can make before you begin, but how do you do it? My mindset went through these phases in the four days that it took me to choose a song. "Oh man, I’ve always envisioned dancing to this rad song that I love! " which later became, "Oh god, I can’t stand this song anymore and I can’t move like that""The tricks that I’m really good at fit in perfectly with this song" which morphed into "I don’t want to do JUST tricks, there’s dancing too.. right?

" "This song piques my interest, and I bet no one is going to use it" which was refuted by "This is too obscure and is too hard to dance to". Have a rhythm structure that you can follow. And a bonus if. Miss Drusilla. Hey! I just spent... I think five hours... going through your entire blog! I must say, you are amazing! I'm going to be starting pole dancing at a studio in February (I've been very interested for about six months, but I don't turn eighteen until Valentines Day, and the studio has an age requirement). I want to start working on my flexibility and strength now, so I'm better prepared for when I start! Aw thank you! In the beginning most girls want to get really strong really fast, I argue against that.

I would practice back and hamstring flexibility. Maybe also look into a yoga class, as that will teach you breathing (which is important to learn for stretching—breathe from the diaphragm, not the chest!) Good Luck!! Pole Dancing Resources.

Buying a pole: Thickness : Aerial Amy. Learning to pole dance is inconvenient in the sense that it’s an apparatus-based endeavor: unless you have access to a pole, you can’t really practice as much as you probably want to. But buying a pole is a big investment for most people, and knowing which one to spend hundreds of dollars on is a pretty paralyzing decision. Especially if you are learning at home, and don’t have access to poles to swing on, it’s like buying clothes online: you can read reviews, you can hear what other people think, you can look at pictures, but you can’t actually try it out. And that’s so frustrating! A lot of my students eventually want to buy a pole to install at home to supplement their in-class learning.
