November progress

Here's what I covered in November. I really don't think I made any progress at all this month, I'm still pretty tired. Azzwoo got her deathlay this month, which I posted separately, and her super invert and superman shouldermount is in here. My major achievement, although it requires polishing, is a combo I picked up from Jungle Cat, pencil/candle spin to spinning chopper to gemini. Thanks for your help JC, you're a star! Oh and I guess the superman fall is pretty major too, I'm getting there, I really need the confidence and I think I'll have it. And the rest I'm still working on!

...can actually HOLD yourself in the Split Grip...I cannot succeed at even staying in that position any longer than the basic "TOE-TAP" move--like a 1/2 second! Bravo onyour candle spin. JC's ability to fly up on to the pole in his L-bracket type holds while spinning just amazes me. He is one of the natural born pole geniuses--much like Sarah Cretul, I think he's more at home in the air than on the ground! Nice work, Gsylass--you should be very proud!!!

Aww bless you Joel, thank you so much!! Hope you and yours had a great holiday :)

Even if you reinforce and smooth over a move you already learned, that still counts as progress. Also, if you try learning a new move, but don't get it the first time, you are still learning something; and this too counts as progress. The Superman Fall scares me a lot! But I'm getting a better Holly Drop.

Thanks :-) Ooh the Holly Drop is one I'd love to get!! The superman fall isn't difficult if you think about what you're going to do first, and then do it slowly.

GREAT--starting off with the very first opening butterfly! Loved the booty popping segment, LOL! Ha HA, I've tried that in private--can't even squeeze a single butt cheek! Your splits are getting more flexible there at 1:25. It's incredible you are now doing the mechanics of a Superman fall! When Karol posted her tutorial on this move a year ago, it was an advanced "get" wanted by all the advanced level polers and YOU are doing it! As for the body wave, hey--at least you can actually (...)

You know, over all, what is most amazing about this video is how you have gone from being tentative and unsure as a beginner last year to a confident poler eager to try new stuff and able to freestyle and experiment with movements, placements, and positions. And now your relationship with your teacher has become more collaborative--with each of you watching the other and sharing ideas and patterns of movement--this is waht is so amazing about pole, I think! Pole work in this vid was (cont'd)

I've been lowering myself into the Superman Fall to get used to the motion, but I still can't bring myself to take that next step and plunge into the Scorpio! Plus, my thigh is all burnt up from Holly Drop practice. If I tried to do a Superman hold right now, I might rip my leg off. Haha
