Pole Party

Thanks to the fab Pipsical, Jamie from Defy Gravity and I performed for the most wonderful bunch of people you could ever wish to meet on Saturday.

I have never felt so comfortable with a group of people, nor met people with such grace and manners as I did that night. Our acts were received with some lovely comments and we got to teach them some moves too as they were incredibly receptive.

I finally got to bed at 3.45 am and lay there feeling every cell in my body buzzing and awake and happier than I can ever remember feeling.

Woke up still on a high at about 8am the next morning. Later taught pole to some gorgeous students. Didn't think I could get much higher but the girls being as fabulous as they are made it happen! We had a real giggle filming our routine and learning new moves and I found that I can suddenly lift into my Iguana Mount! Hadn't tried it for a few months and suddenly there it was!

Awesome weekend!

I have several performances coming up in the next few weeks and am just wondering how on earth I'm going to fit practice time in between teaching fitness classes, running a business and looking after 3 kids.

Gah!

Update

Blimey, not been on here for ages!

Am now lifting into my moves instead of swinging. Have conquered the Split Grip Aysha, Jacknife and Straight Edge and am now attempting to mermaid wiggle upside down in Straight Edge - with hilarious consequences!

Isn't it funny how when you're upside down your body feels like it no longer belongs to you!

More work needed, as usual!
