A little bit about me.

Hi I'm Billie.. and yes I'm a self confessed Poleaholic (and for the record, no Billie is not my real name)

ME!!

I've never blogged before so please bear with me... I will also warn you now, my spelling's not the best so apologies in advance for that.

I guess I should start with a bit about me and how I became so Pole Dance obsessed.

In July 2007 one of my best friends decided to have her birthday at Bobbis Pole Studio, something fun and different. Having a back ground in dance I was all for it and couldn't wait, and needless to say after the 1.5 hour class we were all tipsy and I was hooked!! We ran straight up to my friends work (late on a Saturday night) to get on the website and choose a beginners class to enrol in. The rest, as they say is history.

I started my first beginners class on my 26th Birthday, a some what shy and completly insecure girl. Today 4.5 years on, I'm the most confident person I've ever been, I'm more comforable with my body and with who I am, and I have pole dancing to thank for that :) . I've been taking classes at Bobbis Pole Studio in Sydney for 4.5 years and have slowly worked my way up to Advanced. It's safe to say Bobbis is my home away from home, my true happy place.

These days my life revolves around pole and when I can get my next "fix". I plan most of my life around my classes and training, and you can pretty much bet that if I'm not on a pole.. I'm thinking about it in some way.

I've entered a few competitions over the last 18 months and have once again fallen in love with being on stage. From picking music to the sparkly costumes i love it all, i even enjoy the nerves sometimes. And who doesn't love to show off every now and then?

There's much more to me and my pole obsession which will become more apparent the more I blog (that is such a funny word), but I guess this will do for now.

P.S. I like to say Balls... a lot.

Have you had a Polegasm today?

Well have you?? If you're reading this and you're a pole dancer you know exactly what I'm talking about, you just might not have called it a polegasm before. Polegasm (noun): That intense wave of pleasure that goes through your body when a pole dancer gets overly excited about a new move they have either gotten for the first time or seen for the first time. Think about the first time you saw Felix Cane do the spatchcock, I'm pretty sure most of the people in the audience at the Enmore Theatre that night had a polegasm (I know I did), some probably even multiple polegasms (Yep that was me)! The Spatchcock - Felix Cane I'm going to claim the term "polegasm" as my own, because as far as I'm aware no one had ever used it before I did that monday night in Cleo 's advanced class when, after seeing one of the girls do something really cool on the pole she (Cleo), got a bit over excited and I blurted out. "Oh my god Cleo, it sounds like yo

Injuries, sometimes they're a blessing in disguise

Okay, I'm going to get a little bit serious with this post, but I felt that telling this story was important. In June 2010, while practising a chair routine with a friend, I dislocated my left knee. It was one of those moments, that as it was happening, I knew exactly what was happening, and I knew that there was nothing I could do to stop it. It was like a living in slow motion. Even writing this now and I can remember it and the feeling as clear as day. After my knee cap popped out I fell to the floor in a heap and screamed, no one really new what was happening at first, an ambulance was called, and we waited for it to arrive (for over 45 mins). For most of those 45 mins I screamed and cried and tried not to throw up, while my friends stood around helpless watching me. Before then I'd never dislocated anything before, and let me tell you, this was a pain I would not wish upon my worst enemy. I'm pretty sure I begged the girls to shoot me at some stage. So after th

Get a Grip

Image
Getting a good good grip on the pole can be a major battle, I know when I first started I slipped and slid all over the place and I couldn't understand how all the other girls in my class were sticking to the pole no problems let alone how the girls in the advanced classes were managing to defy gravity without slipping and falling on their heads. There are a whole heap of grip aids for pole out there, you just need to find the one (or ones) that is right for you and the type of pole you use. I've found that while some products work great on brass poles when I've danced on a chrome or titanium pole I might as well have coated myself in Vaseline for all the good it did. Here are the ones that I know of (and I've tried most of them as well) and my thoughts on them.  DRY HANDS: I've used Dry Hands a few times and have decided that for me this is the perfect grip aid for dancing on Chrome or Titanium Poles. If I use it when I'm dancing on a brass pole
