Pole Dancing in the Dark at the V Club Video Shoot
I didn’t think that I could get more dizzy than when I do a long combo for a routine… Sadly, I was wrong. When you pole dance with strobe lights and a smoke machine and hold the same move while they get the perfect shot dizzy goes to another level! But besides that, it was great fun to hang out with my pole girls Honey and Tammy, Marcus, the cameraman, and the team at V Club for their promotion video. The adrenaline was pumping as I tried to act sexy and not giggle... Read More
Impressions From My First Pole Dancing Lesson
Guest post by Lorna Marty It was my first time. It had been my new year’s resolution – I was pathetically weak and I needed to get strong plus I wanted to tone away all my Christmas holiday indulgences. The gym was out, weights were out and even though yoga was doing great things for my head, the results for my body were a little slower coming. So there I was – in my first pole dancing class – wearing teeny weeny shorts and feeling like a... Read More
Pole Play at V Club
Suzie Q has just spent some time with a bunch of pole instructors at V club so that we could go through the BodyPole syllabus and have a chance to share pole dance ideas in general. It was a great chance to say hi to some lovely people that I’d not met before and sharing ideas always gives me a renewed boost. I have lots of fields that I draw my instruction from, but learning neat little additions means my students get the benefit of an even greater range of techniques. There... Read More
Back on the Pole
After a few months off, due to a new office job, I got back on the pole last week and loved it. Why did I stop? Well, I know why, I thought it was a good idea to put more effort into a new job, but I think I should have taken a different view. Rather than putting something I love on hold I should have just looked for a class that started later, so that I could have extra time at the day job and be able to carry on pole dancing too. What I missed most was the challenge of improving... Read More
Pole Dancing Classes for Children – is That Wrong?
When I read a news article recently about pole dance lessons for 10 year olds it got me thinking… should they be offering that?// // The school in question is Fusion Dance Studio, a dance school in the UK that offers a variety of classes. In the case of children as young as 10 pole dancing I don‘t even think it’s to do with whether the moves are adapted to cut out anything sexual – like body rolls, hip rolls, or anything that involves legs open to second. There is... Read More
Why should pole dance classes in Cambridge cause such a stir?
With all the buzz about Cambridge University offering pole dance classes I thought I’d add my two cents too. // // It’s well known to us in the industry that pole dancers come from a variety of backgrounds, and with the trend tipping towards fitness as the aim to pole dance there is no reason in my mind why anyone attending Cambridge University shouldn’t have the opportunity to learn pole. There’s the long-standing image that those who go to Cambridge are stuffy, boring,... Read More
Master Class with Miss Amber Ray
Amber, Miss Pole Dance Australia 2009 Runner-up, and Kim, Principle teacher at Vertica Having a pole dance master class with Miss Amber Ray was great fun, and a real workout. It’s amazing what you can do when you go for it – I surprised myself. We even tried out a hot new move that Amber’s been thinking about adding to her repertoire. 'Superman' with no hands Our warm-up included some really random crunches that I’ll practice at home, but won’t... Read More
