This move is a transition between an Apprentice and a Butterfly. I'm still working on getting more extension in my Butterfly, but I'm reasonably happy with the move so far, especially since I was only taught this transition five days ago.
The move really takes its toll on my down forearm, especially if I'm not pulling enough with my top arm. And getting that extension of my one leg over the top of my head in the Butterfly is terrifying. I really have to trust my other ankle!
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.
