The Inspiration

This short and sweet song is what inspired my username... totally unique, and completely mine! The artist is Dead Can Dance and the title (since YT took the sound off ) is Emmeleia. In Greek it is ἐμμέλεια, meaning "gracefulness" or "harmonization" and was the name of the grave and dignified dance of tragedy in the theatre of ancient Greece. The lyrics however are not any actual language, it's just random jibberish that the lead singer does... beautiful Jibberish nonetheless, so if you can find a version of it, listen to it, but don't expect that it means anything. :) S now you know where Notradaya comes from, and why I have no idea what it means....

the practice doesn't go with the music at all, i was actually dancing to Pink (haha!) but whatever.

I attempted the knee hold first thing tonight and didn't have my camera rolling! then the shot i got wasn't as good, and I was up too high, so my torso was cut off, but I let go, I swear!!!

i'm sorry they removed the audio for this... thats is too bad, i love DCD. wonderful moves in there, you are very strong and graceful.

I know! Lame right? stupid Warner music group... I can't fault YouTube anymore for the music crap... it's the record labels that are the jerks here.... they're the one's running around suing people for downloading their music too... YouTube is just not playing ball with the bully, and I can't fault them for that.

I love how you take your reverse aysha and rotate out of it with a twisted grip. I've been struggeling with that twisted grip and this showed me a different way to get into it. I think you just made it doable for me! awesome video.

[Notradaya]

you know i've been doing this version of aysha for ages, I can't get a solid grip any other way so when i started analyzing the twisted grip handspring i realized once i got the initial lift, or in my case jump up... it was just getting into this position... so yeah, it should help you get the TGH for sure! do this, then come down out of it as controlled as you can to the floor... that will give you an idea of your path of ascension for the TGH.

Love the spider legs in your open-grip aysha! By-the-way, does anyone know why we call it the aysha?

[Notradaya]

thanks! i have no idea why it's called that... we call it a static v at the studio... one of 3 ways to do it... maybe someone named aysha did it as her signature move so her pole friends named it after her... that's how some of them get the names in our studio!

hey notradaya, I'm a bobbis girl too, currently doing inter 3 for the fourth time arrrggghhh! I was looking at your knee grip out. I think you need to angle your legs so your cross your feet over some more. I've been watching your clips and practicing my leg hang into the static v and it has been a great help. I watched your other clips and I think you are an amazing dancer. And I agree with you, Bobbis is amazingly hot and talented. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your next video. xxx

Thank you so much. I'm gonna hop on my pole in a bit and give it a try, So excited.

Oh, I like static V.  I'm going to start calling it that (and tell everyone that your studio named it.) More descriptive, for sure!
