Pole Dance Challenge Week 7

Last week I danced to The Pretty Reckless – My Medicine which is a great song to pole too, I really enjoyed it. I also remembered to include a lot more stuff this time so I think it was a little less repetitive.

I have decided that from now on I will start slowly including tricks into my freestyle dances. Only one or two at first but gradually building up over time. After all the whole point of this challenge is to improve fluidity and flow of the whole thing. I think my dance now is much improved from where it was seven weeks ago so we’ll see how things go when I start including some tricks!

Pole Dance Challenge Week 6

Last week I danced to ZZ Top – Legs which was suggested by a friend. I threw in a few tricks this time as the friend that suggested the song is not a pole person so I wanted to show that I do tricks as well as dance should I decide to share the video. I ended up having a complete mind block though when dancing and ended up reverting back to boring and repetitive like I was doing for the first few weeks of the challenge, although it is all flowing a lot better now than it was back then (so the challenge is working). Watching the video back it isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Technically there were only minor things wrong with it, it was just a bit boring! On the way home I kept remembering all the things I had been planning to put in but forgot. Like hip circles and bodywaves. Yes, really. How did I manage to forget that!

Pole Dance Challenge Week 5

I can’t believe it’s been five weeks since I started this challenge (well technically tonight it’s six weeks since I’m always late posting…), it’s gone by so quickly!

Last week I danced to Christina Aguilera – Not Myself Tonight. Normally I decide in advance what I’m going to dance to but this time I didn’t and I think that was a mistake. I love Christina but I wasn’t really feeling the song for some reason. I chose it in a hurry and I think that reflected in my dancing which I felt wasn’t as good as the previous two weeks. I have tonights song chosen so hopefully I’ll get back to feeling like I am progressing.
