Great instructions! I always seem to not be able to connect my botton knee...then when I do, I can't release my top arm. I can't wait to practice what you just taught me. TY!!! **UPDATE: I can now release my top arm, thanks to your instructions 🙌🏽. Ive tried on and off for months and now I can do it
There is a very unique style/type of pole I saw once at a club. It was very short, maybe 5 ft tall. It was very thin, maybe 30mm or 35mm. I don’t know if it could support body weight for extended periods of time. It ‘whipped’ or ‘wobbled’ back and forth, because of a ball at its base that allowed the whole pole to rock back and forth and around like a video game controller joystick. The performers used the rocking ‘joystick’ like motion of the pole to perform moves that resembled pole vaulting like you’d see in the Olympics, but on a smaller scale of course. And also incorporating fan kicks and somersaults and such. One of the dancers even twisted over the TOP of the pole, which would be impossible on a traditional pole of course. Have you ever heard/seen of this type of pole before? Or maybe it was a custom thing for the club, I don’t know. I can’t find much out about it online, maybe you could help if you know something about it?
Lovvvvee this it was realllllyy helpful I was just looking at my picture and my thigh was on the pole not the back of my knee I can’t wait to go to class to practice this
I would like to try a no-hands genie, but even though I can feel that I don't have much load on my one hand left, I'm scared to let go. 😅 Any tips for that transition/advancement ? 🙃
Absolutely, practise your Cupid lots to make sure you have the best hook under your knee, start from the ground so that you're already low down and use a crash mat. Work on crunching up from a low down position to fire up your obliques and start with just loosening the grip from the hand, just for a couple of seconds - work on increasing the length of time with the grip loosened before you attempt to fully remove the hand. Good luck! You've got this :)
Thank you 💜 I have an intermediate / advance level but I have always struggle with this move. Your explanations are very helpful !
Yay I'm glad it help Luna 😊
