When people nail a move, they often don’t believe that they have. They may think that it came far too easily for them for it to be real. Sometimes moves don’t feel how they look, and therefore feel wrong. I see students try these moves over and over again – so I know which ones are […]
I love a go-to move. It’s that move you know that you can 100% do every single time you try. When you are frustrated, tired or have no idea what to do on the pole, you can call upon your go-to move and bring poling alive. When we freestyle on the pole, having a go-to move […]
In pole when we work on a spin it’s quite obvious when to stop the spin. It can happen naturally if we run out of momentum but it will also happen when we come to the floor. You can always try to give yourself that little bit more momentum to keep it going – lean into […]
While we were recently in Las Vegas for Pole Expo, we managed to catch up with wonderful Bendy Kate between workshops 🙂 Above is the interview we quickly filmed together, where Bendy talks about her pole idols, pre-performance rituals and her journey to becoming one of the world’s most recognisable pole performers! Feel free to […]
Every time I teach a shoulder mount, it’s usually accompanied with a groan that goes around the room. Despite not liking it, everyone gives it a go – on both sides of course, but no one really loves this move… unless you can do it.
As our advanced pole classes are getting harder and harder, I find that I keep seeing the same expression. It usually comes out when I’m teaching a new move, generally upside down. I’ll show it a few times, talk it through, and then show it again. I get off the pole and do the usual ‘okay […]
The first time I really felt strong on the pole, was when I got my head around using a forearm grip to climb. It’s amazing. You have so much more strength in this grip than you think you do. I have only recently started using a forearm grip as my go to-climbing grip and I love […]
Every so often I have to take a break from pole – maybe I’m going away, not feeling well or just have too much work on. And then there are the times where I just need to have a break from pole. There doesn’t even have to be a reason why I don’t want to pole – […]
Okay so I have the best piece of pole dance advice for you when it comes to pole. You already know it, and it’s really obvious, so please carry on reading once I’ve told you.
Of course I haven’t done every pole move there is (I wish!) but for pretty much all of them, they have a secret. That little tip that if you know it, it makes the move so much easier to get. Some are more obvious and less secret than others. It might be as simple as […]
