An online diary of my challenges and triumphs in my favorite indoor pasttime - pole dance!

Welcome to my pole dance page. Although pole dance isn't my main love or my career, it does make up a big part of who I am. I discovered pole dance a few years ago at a studio in Calgary. I tried out a class or two and really enjoyed it, however, it wasn't until I discovered my current, more qualified studio that I really fell head over heels in love with it. Let me clarify that I am not a pole dance instructor. I cannot offer advice or instruction. If you are interested in pole dance, do yourself a huge favour and find a certified instructor. Under no circumstances should you ever attempt even the most basic pole dance moves without qualified instruction. Copying what you see off the internet is a great way to permanently injure yourself. This blog is just a way for me to share my experiences; in no way is it meant to provide instruction.

The Inverted Crucifix

This is actually a basic Level 3 move.  Once you learn how to invert, hanging on by your feet seems like second nature.  I can actually hold this pose for almost a minute, and I'm working on holding it for longer by watching TV while I hold it, and trying to forget the pulse throbbing in my ears! 

Its a little crooked in this picture because I have mild scoliosis, so forgive the asymmetry.
