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 Shoulder Mount

Okay okay, this is not actually a complete shoulder mount, but it is a starting point as we are just now starting to learn the early strength moves to get ready for a shoulder mount.  This is killer on the traps, and an awesome ab workout!
