We did it 3 or 4 times, the last time double speed! </p> <p>Nex we did sit-ups and push ups with a number of exercises fo core strength. Again it was 15 sit ups, 16 elbows to knees (legs cycling), 15 counts balancing on yout bum in a v shape, 15 counts balancing in the push up position, 8 wide arm push ups, 8 shoulder width hands push ups. We did that about 4 times... very very painful <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Next we used weights...8 lifts, 3 different starting positions... we did the sequence 3 times. Then it was 3 lots of squats holding the weights!</p> <p>I have never been so glad to move onto pole conditioning in my life <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We did an hour of conditioning, which ranged from pull ups to spins and holds. I really surprised myself being able to hold myself in the swan hold (legs in a V shape held off the ground with one arm up the top of the pole, the other at waist height) and then move to a position where I have the same arm grip but my legs are in a v shape out front... I moved from one to the other without touching the floor <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We finished off with 30 minutes stretching which was a welcome relief after working hard <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>The lesson was friday night and I am still aching a little today!! <em>And</em> I have my level 3 lesson tonight! Hopefully doing these 2 at the same time means I'll be perfect and able to move on in 6 weeks <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/09/14/pole-addict-6959268/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>pole-addictpole-dancingdefinitely-worth-the-painhttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/09/14/pole-addict-6959268/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/last-night-was-the-second-level-3-workshop-we-went-6771343/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-08-21:/2009/08/21/last-night-was-the-second-level-3-workshop-we-went-6771343/Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:34:55 +0200 <p><span>Last night was the second level 3 workshop! We went through the stuff we had been covering in level three, got taught a level 4 move called the V sit... you sit on the pole, right arm, bent, grabbing the pole in front of you, the left hand grabs the pole under your bum, you lean back a little, extend legs so they are straight and raise them so the body is in a V shape, then open legs into a V shape!! It was rather hard but I managed it! Not properly as its a new move but I managed to release my legs into a small V shape <img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/graylaugh.gif" alt=""></span></p> <p><span>I also managed to do the eagle <img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/icon_cheeze.gif" alt=""> I know exactly what I am doing wrong so I can work on it! I am now confident thatr I will ba able to move on after my September courses <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></span></p> <p><span>And now I have no lessons for 3 week <img src="http://www.blog.co.uk/image/smileys/14sad.gif" alt=""> I will have to try and book my level 3 course in september to go along with pole addicts but I am not sure when i will be able to! I am hoping it doesn't get sold out!!</span></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/last-night-was-the-second-level-3-workshop-we-went-6771343/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>level-3-workshoppole-dancinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/21/last-night-was-the-second-level-3-workshop-we-went-6771343/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/18/workshop-6749824/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-08-18:/2009/08/18/workshop-6749824/Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:02:20 +0200 <p>I had the first lesson of level 3 workshop last thursday <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> It was really good and I enjoyed it so much! I can't understand why I enjoyed it a bit more than usual, I just did <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> I managed to do all my moves ok, except the problems move typically <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>And on saturday my mate came to visit. She helped me with the eagle and laughed because I was getting into position and immediately bouncing out <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> But I practiced it a fair few times and managed to do it and hold it ok! It was quite strange to stare at the tv upside down though <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>The second and last lesson of the workshop is this week, and then I have 2 weeks before Pole Addicts start (did I mention its half hour od weights, one hour of pole strengthening exercises using the pole and half an hour of stretching?? <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0">) I shall be booking my next course after thursday too, probably a level 3 one but I am not really too sure right now! I <em>would</em> prefer to move onto level 4 but as the saying goes you can't run before you can walk!! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/18/workshop-6749824/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>pole-dancinglevel-3-workshophttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/18/workshop-6749824/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/10/hanging-6693524/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-08-10:/2009/08/10/hanging-6693524/Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:39:46 +0200 <p>I just had a little freestylee dance around my X Pole to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi!

I keep meaning to update but the trouble in work meant I kept forgetting <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"> typical me!</p> <p>anyway, level 3/4 technique has been great! My last lesson is this week. I am going to be a bit sad to see it end as we don't have any more proper courses til september! I do have a 2 week workshop starting next week!</p> <p>So level3/4... I have been practicing all the moves I learnt in level 3, and a few more <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> I have done a few more advanced things as well but because there aren't any level 4 people in the class we couldn't do level 4 stuff <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> I did do the hangback (sit on pole, extend one leg, other crossed, and lean back to hang upside down) with 2 straight legs in one lesson! that was very hard!</p> <p>I will hopefully be able to move onto level 4 after the workshop, if not, level 3 again but I definitely won't need to do it again after that! But I am in no real hurry so I don't really mind <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Especially as I have signed up to another course in september called Pole Addict! It teaches other moves and short routines! This course is open to levels 2 and up so I think its one I could do over and over, each time learning different things <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/06/level-3-4-technique-6666750/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>level-34-techniquepole-dancinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/08/06/level-3-4-technique-6666750/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/07/07/level-3-lessons-5-6464075/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-07-07:/2009/07/07/level-3-lessons-5-6464075/Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:06:09 +0200 <p>Last night was my last lesson of level 3 <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> It was good though <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Last week we learnt the very last part of the routine, practiced everything, especially the Eagle! Thats the only thing I am still struggling with, but I think it is only because we learnt that last. If we'd had it earlier in the course I think I would have been ok with it <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Lesson 6 is usually demo day... all the students demo the routine and then the teacher does a demo for us... unfortunately Nat (or teacher) had injured herself so couldn't demo <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> We ran out of time too! </p> <p>We did a lot of practice last night, then those of us taking level 3 for the first time did a group demo, and those doing it for the second or third time did a solo demo...they all dressed up too, it was great! One girl wore a corset... I am soooo doing that next time <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Anyhoo I tried to book the next level 3 class at the weekend but it was fully booked <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> I am actually quite pleased about it because I spoke to Nat last night and she said I am advanced enough to take the level 3/4 technique class! She said do that and then take her level 4 class which is a rocky routine, which she thinks is a bit harder than the other level 4s, probably due to the beat and the speed!</p> <p>So I shall try to book the level 3/4 technique class tonight. It starts next Saturday so not long to wait <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> its a 4 week course because the school has a summer break. This class doesn't have a routine either (not at the moment, I think they are thinking of introducing one though <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> ) its just moves! I want to go to a few practice session too, so in a few weeks hopefully I'll be ready for level 4 <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/07/07/level-3-lessons-5-6464075/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lesson-6level-34-techniquelesson-5level-3http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/07/07/level-3-lessons-5-6464075/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/23/level-3-lesson4-6369085/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-23:/2009/06/23/level-3-lesson4-6369085/Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:48:25 +0200 <p>So we had the 4th lesson last night. Usually we learn the last part of the routine in this lesson but because they feel that level 3 is a big step up from level 2 they like us to do the course again before progressing. She seemed to think we'd take it another 2 times after this but I don't feel I need to. I think once more will benefit me but twice would be holding me back a little. It might sound big headed but I'm not doing too badly. In fact I am really holding my own and am better than some of those who have already done level 3 before! I know I am not brilliant, there's a lot to learn but I don't see the point in doing it twice more when I know I will be ready to move on well before they have finished <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> Maybe I'll talk to the teacher next week to see what she says. The next level 3 course has no choreography as its only 4 weeks so there will be no demo at the end... although she did mention a level 3/4 course so maybe she'll let me move onto that after it <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Anyhoo back to last night. We did a lot of practice of things we had already learnt and the new move, the eagle. I think I'll have this one down ok by the end of the course too <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> We learnt most of the choreography and saw the rest, it is going to look great by the time its finished!</p> <p>Oooh I had a thought, maybe I can practice the routine at home and by the end of the 4 week course I'll have it all down and she'll let me move on?! We'll see <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Maybe I'll have a bit of a practice tonight, My pole will have to come down tonight too, as we have a visitor coming on Thursday! </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/23/level-3-lesson4-6369085/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>level-4the-eaglelesson-4level-3pole-dancingmoving-onhttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/23/level-3-lesson4-6369085/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/17/level-3-lesson-6322401/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-17:/2009/06/17/level-3-lesson-6322401/Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:37:28 +0200 <p>In lesson 3 we did a few spins and worked on the inverts we have been practicing from the start! Mine are coming along quite nicely, I just need to remember to keep my legs straight and keep my thighs squeezed on the pole! </p> <p>The spins were a pole climb spin... climbing on the pole, flinging a leg around and spinning with both legs straight and against the pole, another was called the flying step... flinging one leg across the body and the around the pole, front leg straight and back bent, both parallel with the floor, and the last was a sunwheel going into lotus position... legs out front and back both, bent, parallel with the floor then the back one straightens and comes around the front so you end up sitting! I may have to post a few more pictures as my descriptions don't do it justice!</p> <p>So next week we learn the last few moves of the routine, one is an invert called the eagle.... (jumping upside down with legs in a V shape parallel to the floor and holding like that) which I actually had a little go of last night and I seemed to do it ok! I was probably holding the pole all wrong but at least I know I can get myself in that position for however short a time it was! I am looking forward to trying it properly next week <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/17/level-3-lesson-6322401/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>trying-the-eaglelesson-3pole-dancinglevel-3http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/17/level-3-lesson-6322401/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/10/ouch-6274913/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-10:/2009/06/10/ouch-6274913/Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:29:03 +0200 <p>My muscles are still aching from Monday nights lesson and I have some huge bruises from then too!</p> <p>I guess that means I am having a good workout <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"> I must make sure I have a practice tomorrow after work too <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/10/ouch-6274913/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>achey-musclespole-dancingpracticehttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/10/ouch-6274913/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/09/level-3-lesson-6267794/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-09:/2009/06/09/level-3-lesson-6267794/Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:00:15 +0200 <p>So last night was the second lesson of this level.</p> <p>We had some hard moves to do... we continued last weeks inverts, practicing them higher up the pole and with added bits on the end. We also did a move called an extension. We sat on the pole, brought both legs up straight with ankles crossed an leaned out so we were parallel with the floor. We will eventually do this with one hand! Eek! We did a spin, which I can't remember what its called now but it was basicaly swinging your whole body around the pole ending up in what we call the sunwheel position... legs parallel with the floor one in front, one behind, both bent elegantly! We also did more of the coreography, this week most of it was <em>on</em> the pole, something I haveb't had to do before!</p> <p>It will be a great routine once its done <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> We are dancing to Elvis's Fever at the moment <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/09/level-3-lesson-6267794/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>level-3pole-dancinglesson-2http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/09/level-3-lesson-6267794/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/07/just-because-6259465/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-07:/2009/06/07/just-because-6259465/Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:54:28 +0200 <p>A couple of pics...</p> <p>Can't remember what this one is called!</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/dscn1160/3576119" title="DSCN1160"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/119/3576119_903f3c9617_m.jpeg" alt="DSCN1160" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p>Swan Hold...</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/dscn1165/3576128" title="DSCN1165"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/128/3576128_801de4af9d_m.jpeg" alt="DSCN1165" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/07/just-because-6259465/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>picturesswan-holdpole-dancingpole-climb-thinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/07/just-because-6259465/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/02/level-3-lesson-6218895/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-06-02:/2009/06/02/level-3-lesson-6218895/Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:13:59 +0200 <p>Lsat night was lesson one of level 3, which is the first level of intermidiate pole dancing!</p> <p>We were told that many people don't manage to advance to level for until they have completed level 3 2 or even 3 times! I hope I can move on to level 4 at the end of this, I guess I will have to practice <strong>A lot</strong>!!</p> <p>Anyway, the first move we did was an invert! It was sitting on the pole, left lefg straight, right leg bent over it and hanging backwards, upside down on the pole. We only did it close to the floor, as many people hadn't even sat on the pole before! It was something my friend taught me many months ago so I got the hang of it quite quickly, and by the end of the night I was able to do this move a little further up the pole <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> I am hoping I will be able to get a picture of this to post, it looks great!!</p> <p>We also did a move that will eventually see us doing a hand stand against the pole... we start by swinging out legs up towards the top of the pole and tucking our head in and sliding down. I was able to do this ok, again because my friend taught me something similar <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> We did a spin called the bullet, where we are curled round the pole and some dancy moves. The teacher got us to do some sassy moves so hopefully the routine will look awesome once finished!!</p> <p>I can't wait for lesson 2!!</p> <p>I am still trying to video my routine, its just not working how I wanted it to! But now <em>he</em> is back from New York I may be able to sort it out <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/02/level-3-lesson-6218895/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>level-3lesson-1pole-dancinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/06/02/level-3-lesson-6218895/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/lessons-5-6119456/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-05-15:/2009/05/15/lessons-5-6119456/Fri, 15 May 2009 11:16:34 +0200 <p>So last night was lesson six of the level 2 course.</p> <p>Lessons 5 and 6 were just general practice sessions as we had learnt all of the routine by week 4. </p> <p>It was good, this level I have really felt that I have had a good exercise session by the end!</p> <p>Last night, lesson 6, was the last in level 2 <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"> We all did a performance at the end (indiviually!!) of the routine and got presented with a certificate once we'd finished <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We ended by doing a couple of level 3 moves, one which will eventually lead to hanging upside down <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I have booked my level 3 course already <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> It starts on the 1st June <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I am now officially no longer a beginner but a pole dancer of intermediate standard <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/lessons-5-6119456/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lesson-5level-2lesson-6level-3-bookedhttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/05/15/lessons-5-6119456/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/05/01/lesson-6040068/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-05-01:/2009/05/01/lesson-6040068/Fri, 01 May 2009 11:58:00 +0200 <p>In lesson 4 we learnt the last few moves of the routine! With more people back in the class this week we got the usual amount of time on the poles, as there were 3 groups.

We sould have 3 people per pole... so nine in a session but there were only 5 of us last night meaning we all got extra goes!</p> <p>We did some pole conditioning (strengthening exercises), push ups (eeek!), 2 spins , something called a pole over (leg hooked round the pole and the rest of your body leaning away) and some floor work. </p> <p>It was a really good session and I felt I had a really good workout! This routine will look really good once finished I think!</p> <p>Lesson 4 we learn the last of the moves I think, so hopefully it will all pull together over the next few weeks and look good <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/04/24/lesson-5998872/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lesson-3pole-dancinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/04/24/lesson-5998872/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/04/17/level-2-lessons-1-5959199/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-04-17:/2009/04/17/level-2-lessons-1-5959199/Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:24:56 +0200 <p>Ooh its been a while! I thought I should really write an update <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>So on 2nd April I had lesson one of my level 2 course. A few things were different to level on... I have a new teacher who is great, really friendly and seems to be quite a perfectionist! There are only 3 poles, with 9 in a class so its 3 to a pole! And the poles aren't spinny ones!</p> <p>So in lesson one we learnt to climb the pole (both legs wrapped around the pole) stay on the pole without any hands, then slide down. The rest of the moves in lesson one were basically dance type steps... except the last one whcih was hanging onto the pole kicking each leg up, with both off the floor at one point. We also did quite a few strengthening exercises too. In my old class these were done right at the end but in lesson one the teacher incorporated it into the lesson so we were doing moves for the routine before and after! I found lesson one very very hard for some reason and felt a little out of my depth <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We then had a weeks break for the Easter holidays!</p> <p>Lesson 2 was last night and it was great! Our first move was another pole climb but this time our right legs were straight out front! And I was the only one who seemed to manage this first time and take my hands off <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> Great! We learnt one spin called the chair spin... both hands on the pole pushing your body away from it so it's not touching, the rest of your body is in a seated position (not the greatest of explanations sorry). Other moves involved as s slide (arched back against the pole sliding down it) a shoulder slide (legs and feet away from the pole, one shoulder resting on the pole, the shoulder slides down until they reach the floor, the rest of the body follows!) Next was the goddess position... from the shooulder slide you're lying on the floor ... you cross your legs and push up so you're leaning on your arms. The rest were dance type moves which I have forgotten the names of!</p> <p>It was great, and I really enjoyed it last night. I even got the original pole climb that I had trouble with last time <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/04/17/level-2-lessons-1-5959199/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>lesson-1pole-dancinglesson-2level-2http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/04/17/level-2-lessons-1-5959199/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/03/16/x-pole-continued-5766605/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-03-16:/2009/03/16/x-pole-continued-5766605/Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:31:04 +0100 <p>With the X Pole up at the weekend i managed to get some good practice in <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> I practiced the spins ands then the whole routine.

She has been taking Pole Dancing lessons for over a year now and her pole school were putting on a Cabaret on Saturday night. When I took up my lessons she invited me down! I obviously jumped at the chance because one, I haven't seen her in 10 years, 2, she is really good and I'd wanted to see her do it in real life rather than youtube, 3, Getting the chance to see what I possibly could do in the future is a good incentive to carry on and 4, she has an X Pole and offered to teach me to go upside down!!</p> <p>So Down I went, we dressed up and went out to watch the show. It was great to see all the moves and the transitions and some were so amazing I can't wait to get that far!! Unfortunately the show went on a little <em>too</em> long!! You can have too much of a good thing <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> SO we went home and went to bed <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>The next day we both had a go on her pole. She showed me a few things she was doing, I showed her my routine hesitantly as I couldn't remember it properly <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p>She also showed me how to go upside down, to sit on the pole and how to do a couple of spins! It was really really good, I had so much fun and it didn't feel like we'd not seen eachother in 10 years <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I ache today but it was good to be able to try things away from my class <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>And I now soooooo want an x pole even more!!

Sounds fun though <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Lessons 5 and 6 will just be memorising and practicing the routine but should be fun anyway <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Roll on Thursdays <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/20/lesson-5613808/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>pole-dancingpole-cabaretlesson-4http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/20/lesson-5613808/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/16/lesson-5584255/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-02-16:/2009/02/16/lesson-5584255/Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:43:15 +0100 <p>Well despite the massive bruise I got on the back of my right thigh and the massive scratch on my left leg I am still loving it <img src="/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":>>" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>This time we I few dancy moves around the pole, one of which became a spin <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> I had my right leg balanced on the pole and had to fall forward bringing my other leg up to look like I was sitting cross legged around the pole!! It was called the hook spin or the corkscrew. The teacher kept changing her mind <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Next week we learn our last moves of level one, 2 of which are spins (spins are where you're hanging onto the pole, feet of the floor spinning round if you didn't guess <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> ) one looks very hard <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"> But great!! For the following 2 weeks we will just be practicing the routine <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"> I thing I shall make a decision whether I really do want an X Pole before then!! I am thinking yes at the moment and want to book level 2 course asap <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/16/lesson-5584255/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>pole-dancinglesson-3http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/16/lesson-5584255/#commentshttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/06/lesson-5518032/tag:whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk,2009-02-06:/2009/02/06/lesson-5518032/Fri, 06 Feb 2009 10:37:52 +0100 <p>Lesson 2 was just as good as lesson one <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"> We learnt one more spin on the pole called the fish hook <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> and some dancing moves round the pole including one called the back bend<img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>It was lucky we didn't do too many of things like the fish hook as at somepoint towards the beginning of the lesson I seem to have pulled a muscle in my arm <img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Hopefully it will get better for next week <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I still think I need my own pole to practice on!!!!</p> <p><img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/06/lesson-5518032/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>pole-dancinghttp://whoiwanttobe.blog.co.uk/2009/02/06/lesson-5518032/#comments
