Firefly Lights

My pole buddy and I had a two hour dance session at her place. 

We are both going to be so sore and bruised for graduation. 

That was totally a smart idea. 

:P 

I’ve been working on 

• advanced layback and variations of it
• peter pan
• Gemini/scorpio switch

So far only luck with the first one. The other two are evading me. I will kick their butts soon!!! 

Two classes in a row was so tough. But totally worth it. I’ve never danced so much in a week. My stamina is finally getting better. :) 

• held a flag for a few seconds 
• almost got the flying peter pan
• did another back hook to a chopper
• attempted superman
• worked on gemini/scorpio? Can’t remember which was which
• did lots of floor work stuff:
• knee spin
• hip flirt to standing with a hair toss (so pretty once I get it right!)

Today was definitely a good class session. So much stuff to work on, I can’t wait to get my pole!  

• back hook spin into chopper (AWW YEAH)
• martini spin
• show girl
• double piroette into body spin/ corkscrew
• got side climbing down better

Yesterday was a good class. Now I can’t wait for two classes on thursday! 

Last class I worked on 

• angel
• hood ornament
• froggy into chopper

and then reviewed a lot of other things.. I was super pooped by the end of class. I definitely love spinning pole so much more than static. :)

Now just to figure out how to do the ballerina spin on a spinning pole with out feeling like I’m going to be flung off….

Worked in a few older moves again today, climbed up the pole 4 times with out any problems. 

• I NAILED THE BUTTERFLY TODAY. 
• Inverted crucifix aww yeah. 
• started working on leg hook
• could finally do a pole sit high up on the pole without freaking out inside. 

Again, learned nothing new in class. Just worked on stuff from before, though things are really shaping up. We free styled today in class and I didn’t feel like an idiot! I had fun! I threw in some old belly dance moves too! 

I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE AT HOME GOSH DARN IT. 

Didn’t really learn any new moves in my tricks class, but I got down the ones that were troubling me in the past. Inversions looked way prettier, I was able to climb to the top of the pole, twice, without getting tired. That was a huge first. AND I FINALLY GOT THE PRETZEL TURN. It was nice being considered an intermediate student. :3 

• inversions prettier
• corkscrew looking better
• ribbon spin looks awesome now.
• comfortable with climbing
• apprentice coming along.

GOING AGAIN TONIGHT. WOOT. 

• Pencil spin
• a variation on the pencil
• getting into the pocket
• piroette into a backwards knee spin

We mostly did some free style dancing and a little bit of floor work. It was also my first time working on a spinning pole. SO MUCH HARDER. But totally fun.
