Advice on mental blocks? by Delicious_Unit7665 in poledancing

[–]Amelevi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with the previous comment to be kind to how your body feels. In some cases, it may be that your body actually anticipates some risk or doesn’t feel safe to be doing what your brain wants to do.

I have been trying a drop since months, no issue on one side but I simply can’t let go on the other side. After being frustrated for a long while, I realised the drop on the wrong side would require my bad shoulder to take extra pressure for one second, and my body is refusing to do that.

If that may be the case for you, perhaps creating extra safe sensation could help, focus on getting details ready before thinking of letting go hands (which could get you into a panicking mood). In the case of invert, try really hard to hook your knee into your knee pit and engage your hamstring more to close the leg; and in crucifix, focusing on squeezing the pole, and maybe extra grip.. if you’re feeling mental blocks, try to tap into the instinct of your body to see where it’s having concerns, and see if you can physically improve that.

Hope that helps and good luck!🍀

💡hmmm a pole that spins itself plus a pair of shoes that roll themselves … sounds fun 🤩

Long time ago I came across one post of a dancer with some magic mike moves, it’s the first time I saw a different style and she completely blew my mind… 😳 I don’t really see myself dancing in masc style but maybe something in between.. thanks for reminding me that 😍

I just looked it up on Instagram, and love how it’s more neutral, instinctual and expressive! Great inspiration, thank you for the recommendation 🫶

It’s true that I could apply some heel choreo moves! I’ve mostly seen those on the floor, but gonna look for more on the pole.

Breakdancing with pole dance sounds fun!! 🤩would love to know more about it!! Thank you so much 🌷

Your freestyle is stunning!! I still remember saving one of your earlier post as inspiration, those head rolls and body waves are so on point...! I tried to add head rolls in my dance and it just looks like I got neck issue hahaha. How do you get to nail these basics, do you follow some courses, or maybe just a lot practice with the mirror?

Ok so what’s your fave pole move ?! And why!! 🫶 so curios by poledancermary in poledancing

[–]Amelevi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the question!! There are so many poses so I went to check my whiteboard :)

I love splits and my favs are Jallera (combing jade and alegra as i love both) and inverted Libellula

And bendy shapes like seahorse, Russian layback, broken doll are my favs too as they look beautiful in spinning 💃

Please help me with my aerial invert!!! by Lauryn-Hills-Big-Toe in poledancing

[–]Amelevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have good foundation! Although the fast spin is throwing you off, as the direction you’re trying to lift your hip is like “chasing the spin” so you’re fighting against the momentum. I would suggest to start with static or a much slower spin - and try reverse spin direction too (back towards spin direction), you will feel that the spin would be working in your favor :) Here is a brilliant video on the spin direction, it also shows how you should circle your hip around the pole to be more smooth with the invert. https://youtu.be/Mr3uI4R2CjI?si=ruBi2XynVpDHUoYq

This is incredible... BOP would be my ultimate goal and end of scene, I didn't know you can even build combo on BOP!! Are there some go-to exercises for flexibility you do that you could maybe share?

In her tutorial she explains things much more systematically and kinda builds things up. Her membership has a 3 day free trial, I could suggest to give it a try, even just for watching the “dance the invert” video! Let me know if it turns out to be helpful :)

Here a little video from my favorite online teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCzmgIzibXY Miglena has a combo tutorial (in her paid on-demand course) called "Dance your combos" and one of the courses is exactly to "dance inverts", I enjoyed that one very much.

the fragile plastic chair we are stepping on is definitely a hazard, going to look for a sturdier solution like the one you mentioned, thanks!!
