I genuinely believe that everyone in the world is the best at something. It might be something really great that most people in the world know about, or it might be something small. Something really random and personal to you! No matter what it is, you are the best in the world at doing something, […]
Pole Progress Pictures
I love progress pics. I think they’re really helpful to track your progress and to help keep you motivated. The problem I have, is that I’m really good at taking the before pictures… but not so great at the after. I guess I lose motivation through my project (whether it’s splits, or a particular move) […]
That ‘Oh Crap’ Pole Moment
Of course fear is fear. You can’t really control it too much and I genuinely believe that fear is a good thing, and often keeps you safe.
Pole & New Year’s Resolutions
Okay so it’s time. We’ve all had a think about all of the things we achieved in 2015, so it’s now time to think ahead. I tend to fail at keeping New Year’s Resolutions. I set unrealistic goals thinking that a new year will bring a new me, but I’m pretty happy with the current me. I just wanted to improve on a few small things…
New Year – Past Pole Achievements
When it comes to pole, I love the effect it can have on those around you. I know I have my own pole family, and we all inspire each other to keep progressing and working on moves that we never thought possible.
Don’t Look Down!
When we first learn to invert, there is a tendency to want to look down. I don’t know why we do it – but we do. We know the floor will still be there, but for some reason we feel the need to look down and just double check. To be more specific, it’s usually when we […]
Technique Is Everything!
I have been able to do a Wrist Seat for quite a while now. I remember a year or so ago I wanted to try the No Handed Seat (pictured) also known as a Violator, among other names. (I’m not a fan of that name, so I stick to mine!) I remember trying it over […]
Making Group Choreography
I love making up choreography for pole. I usually teach a new routine every week, but recently have started working on group choreography. A few years ago I choreographed ‘Spring Awakening’ at my local theatre with quite a big cast. I have done a few different group pieces since then but this is the first […]
Black Friday For Pole – Do We Like It?
Yesterday morning my partner and I were talking about the psychology around Black Friday. Needless to say, the conversation didn’t get very far before I slightly changed the subject and started talking about all the things I wanted to buy. I always avoid large crowds and had no intention of going out shopping – but why would […]
My Private With Dakota Fox
I was super excited to book in my first private lesson. It was with the amazing Dakota Fox at the UK Pole Dancing and Fitness Convention. I had no idea what to expect from a private as it was my first, and had no idea what I wanted to work on. I had been so […]
