My boyfriend has gone away for the weekend and I’m left alone in the house… with my pole. I got really excited that I had some quality pole dancing time, but I still missed him quite a lot. I started thinking about all of the reasons why I love Pole Dancing and how good I […]
Strong Or Weak Arm – Is It What You Think?
I’ve always thought that my strong arm was my right arm. It’s the hand I write and use the computer mouse with as well. Just because it’s my dominant hand does it mean that it’s my strong hand when it comes to pole dancing? I’ve been thinking about this recently as I’ve been going over […]
Gemini Plank or Flatlined Scorpio… What’s The Difference?
We all have different names for pole dancing moves depending on where we learn and who teaches us. The difficulty comes from talking to other people and having crossed wires when talking about the same move. The biggest confusion for me comes from the Gemini and Scorpio moves and variations – everyone knows them by […]
How Good Are You… Really?
When it comes to most things, people seem to down play their talents. What would you say if someone asked you if you were a good singer, if you have good computer skills or if you were a good driver? A lot of people tend to say that they are okay, rather than saying how […]
How Hard is Pole Dancing?
I’m always getting people asking me: Is pole dancing hard? The honest answer is both yes and no! Learning is to pole dance is hard in as much as anything new is; everytime you try a new move you’ll probably find it difficult but once you’ve got that move nailed, usually it’s a piece of […]

Create Your Own Pole Move
There are hundreds and thousands of different pole dancing moves out there, some of which we all know by the same name… But even with just two Pole Dancers in the same room it is likely that you’ll both know moves that the other doesn’t. There are a lot of hard moves that we all want to […]
Tomorrow Won’t Do!
A lot of things get put off until tomorrow. If you can’t do it today, you’ll do it tomorrow. But why not now? We all have such good intentions about getting fitter, working out, getting better on the pole etc but through all of my good intentions I wonder how many workouts I’ve miss out […]
What To Do When You Meet A Poler!
Being a pole dancer you tend to meet other Pole Dancers all the time – classes, competitions, over the internet. We’re everywhere! So what happens when you meet a Pole Dancer out of context and you are taken by surprise? Well that happened to me just a few days ago… I’ve been poling in the […]
Masks and Basques… and Pole?
My first thought after hearing about a ‘Masks and Basques’ charity event was ‘I want to Pole Dance for this.’ It is pitched as a night of burlesque performers, circus and aerial performers, naughty cabaret and raucous bands. Being a burlesque teacher I already quite enjoy more bizarre events such as this. It is also held in […]
