BnB Poler Bears

[AP]

Finally it's all clicked, I was struggling with inverting so I walked in and asked about nailing it (i only manage once in a blue moon and i cant "cheat" lol )

She said "right, go try now, see where we are going wrong"

And I just inverted. Again, and again. WTF? ah the magic of pole! Feel like I can move on from all my spins and work on other stuff now, like a door has really opened!

SO BLOODY CHUFFED!!!

I've dreamed of getting this move all year

 

[AP]

Yes yes yes yes!!

 

[Char&Bump-x]

So pleased with myself! That pic is from my 3rd try at it too, its a bit sloppy but I think it looks ok!

Well done on the inverting, it definitely is a door opened. I love being upside down! haha

 

[~RedLily~]

YAY well done both of you!!

I managed to get a couple of pics the other day. I really should take more because it's only from seeing the bow and arrow photo that I realised my arms and back aren't right.

 

[Char&Bump-x]

Still good though! Well done

I got Aysha to straight edge in forearm grip today Last time I tried it I must have not been strong enough because I found it really difficult but today it was easy.

My class was cancelled AGAIN! getting annoyed but the only other place is a 30min train journey away

Is it awkward going by train? I'd say have a go, you might find it's a good enough class and worth the journey. I done this once and it was good to get someone different, it was almost an hour bus journey.

 

[Char&Bump-x]

My class is a 25-30 min bus ride then 10 minute walk away, don't care though cos i love it haha

I'm just recovering from the horrific hangover from our pole christmas show. I didn't perform but it was awesome seeing others part of the dance school who attend on different days from me. Some of the stuff was out of this world. We had Cuban and belly dancers too!
Of course I was pissed at the end and some of us were trying stupid stuff on the poles

That's our classes over til the new year, booo

 

[~RedLily~]

That sounds great AP (not the hangover).

I missed my pole Christmas party

My classes don't really stop over Christmas, we will have a big joint class on the 23rd and then I think it will just be Christmas eve/day, boxing day, new years eve and day it's closed.

I've run out of my dry hands grip and I didn't realise how much I relied on it, i really struggled last week and hardly inverted at all.

 

[AP]

Snap! I was hopeless without dry hands last night and ordered more tonight as I have about 1 nights worth left!

I have new pole bruises. Normally I know what moves done them. This times too pissed to know

 

[AP]

Well this is a bit shit...

The bar/resturaunt we pole at is on fire right now

 

[bbkf]

Whattttt whats going on?

 

[~RedLily~]

Oh no!!

 

[AP]

No idea it seems to be on the top floor of all places (that's ours) and the bloody poles are in there

People are safe though, which is obviously the main thing but

Who is doing this? If not - get your pole class/school involved!

How is everyone getting on? I went back for my first lesson in 5 weeks on wednesday and was so weak and couldn't do anything, even the straight edge i'd just managed to get just before christmas.

Went last night and held the straight edge for 10 secs, did ayesha - straight edge - ayesha, lunchbox, poisson and straight edge - brass monkey!! SO CHUFFED

I was so crap first class back

I seem to have improved a bit though this week although I have used way too much grip that my hands are now covered in plasters. Its disgusting I'm working towards inverted crucifix slowly but surely, and my instructor kept commenting on the good things I was doing when i thought they were crap, must be getting somewhere though.

Loving your pics Char, you are doing amazing!!!!
