Butterfly month Joel!! Haven't quite grasped the "exbutt" yet, I think it's probably just a confidence thing. I'm hoping the other new move is the goldrush I was working on last week, so if it's something else then tell me! I think I need to bring that extended leg down more, do you think?

So moves I was working on: primarily the butterfly, then the goldrush, and linking them with other moves (gemini/scorpio). This is one of my favourite soundtracks, unfortunately it makes me want to dance beyond what is probably sensible! So I started off just improvising to the music, some of it's a bit daft I know, but I was having fun! It's pretty heavily edited, only because it was boringly repetitive and I had to keep the size of the video down, I still think it's a bit of an epic but hopefully you'll stay awake through it.

Even if you do skip bits, please note that towards the end I got a shoulder mount!!! Wooo!!! I was dog tired so I'm amazed I got it so effortlessly. I was struggling so bad on that cross-knee release. Also it was a hot sticky day so I was going between sticking to the pole and sliding off it which didn't help.

As usual - I appreciate any pointers you lovely people can give me. Thanks for watching :)

Have you tried the caterpillar yet?

[gsylass]

Yes - and failed! It's on my to-do list :) I need a bit more strength to go in that direction.

Inspiring performance! SHowcased your strength, especially with the butterflies and the inverted thigh hold. You loked like you were completely mesmerized, that's when poling is the best. I recently spent a month continually sore because I couldn't stop poling. I had just started lessons and could do inverts more easily because the studio poles are stickier. It hurt so good!
