July 9 - 16 Bringing Sexy Back with United Pole Artists



Move over Justin Timberlake because Pole Dancers all over the world are bringing sexy back like it's never been brought before!!

Since United Pole Artists announced last week that they were declaring 9-16 July "Bringing Sexy back week" my Facebook feed has been flooded with the poster of Alethea Austin, along with girls (and guys) declaring to get their sexy on! AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!

I'm all about the sexy side of pole dancing, and I honestly don't understand how anyone can pole dance without unleashing some kind of sexy. I don't get the whole pole fitness thing where you just do trick after trick after trick, to be honest, when watching videos like that on YouTube or even live performances like that I tend to zone out. There is really only so many times that I can watch the same tricks done over and over again by different people before it all becomes mush in my head (that also may have something to do with my very short attention span and the fact that I'm easily distracted).

Which is why I prefer to watch "sexy" pole dancing, because each persons sexy style is different which makes the moves and transitions that much more interesting.

Because sexy is a personal style thing, and it can help you make a routine your own (especially when you're doing a routine that you've learnt in class). I can't count how many times Chilli has told me that when Bobbi does one of the Pole Grooves routines, even though Bobbi is doing the exact same choreography as everyone else, the routine looks completely different because she's added her own style to it (which just happens to ooze sex, seriously if you haven't seen Bobbi dance do yourself a favour and look her up on youtube).

So you wanna get sexy? But how? Here is what I suggest:

1. Get YouTubing and look up people like Bobbi, Alethea Austin, Cleo, Felix etc and watch how they move (there are plenty more but these are my fav girls to watch). Also, check out my friend Lola Grace , this girl is amazing, such a bendy flex back, I love watching her get lost in the music.

2. Practice! In front of the mirror at home, check yourself out in the mirror when you're in class. Because sometimes what you think looks sexy looks like a hot mess. Video yourself as well, it'll help you find your own style and what works for you and your body. 

3. Get Alethea's latest DVD's. They're awesomeballs BUY THEM HERE!

If you're not used to being "sexy" when you dance the whole thing can be a bit confronting, I can tell you know that I was pretty crap at the whole being sexy thing when I first started pole, but the more you do it the more confident you get and the easier it becomes.

So give it a try! Even if it's not for the official bringing sexy back week.

Bad Kitty Exotic Wear are also taking up the bringing sexy back week challenge and are having a "Pole Photo of the day - Bringing Sexy Back Edition" and guess who todays pic is of?? ME!! YAY!!

    I used to go to a studio that was pole fitness focused and I have been having the hardest time working on my own dancing style and transition moves. I'm really enjoying the week to focus on the sensual movement that can come with this sport. :) great post

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...

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...

Long weekend Freestyling

Image
Freestyling or Free Dancing, basically chucking some music on and seeing where it takes you. To be honest, I totally suck at it, I always feel like a bit of a deer in headlights and always end up forgetting every single move I've ever learnt and then end up doing body roll after body roll after body roll. So this morning, in an attempt to get better at it, I decided that I would try and freestyle once a week, video it and upload it on to YouTube for the world to see. This afternoon, despite being sick with the flu, sinus and an ear ache (why I even went to the studio is beyond me), I picked a song that came on my iPod on the drive into the studio. Being a bit of a wet miserable day in the city, the mood of the song seemed to fit. Videoing is also a good way to find out things that you need to work on. However, right now, I can't bring myself to watch it.  I will eventually. (Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, been so busy with work and training that I ...
