Each year I like to chose a few moves that I would like to achieve by the end of the year. I have started to think about my ones for 2014 and just wondered what other people's goals are for next year?

My "I'm getting this no matter what" goal is the handstand press. I can balance pretty well on my hands in the initial movement, but my quads are so tight that I can't press up to get my feet past my hands. I can do the deadlift handstand part from a straddle stand as well. It's really just the motion of getting my feet past my hands and getting my quads loose. So a lot of stretching! Ayesha. Is always my goal. Stupid move is stupid. I want to do everything on my left side as well as my right side. Since I've been on a 6 month pole hiatus, ontop of learning almost nothing new this year, I lost a lot of strength. I'm restarting with Veena's lessons and a few other free alternatives around the internet. And I'm going to keep at it :) If I can start over Christmas, there's no excuse to NOT do it at any other time.
Nice goals :) I definitely want my elbow grip aysha (been my nemesis for a couple of months now), Janeiro (did get it the other day but didn't hold it for long at all lol) and my iron x (probably aiming a bit high but we have to dream lol )
Oh and my deathlay :)
I actually have no special move related goals. My goal is to just improve overall. smoother, stronger, better. More flow. More connected dance. More flexi. Oh and to hit all 4 of Alethea's 2014 pole camps. I already did both of the 2013 ones, and performed in the first ever Showcase.
Probably Fonji return (flag to tue grip handspring).
I really like nymphdancer's goal. Sure, there are a few things I would like to have (deadlift Shoulder Mount), but I just hope to continue poling as long as my body will let me!
I want to always have pointed toes, beautiful lines and better flow. I want to learn how to have my hands look completely a part of the move and an extension of appropriate beautiful flowing arms. As far as tricks, I want to learn cupid, gemini/scorpio no hand switch, extended butterfly and superman spin. My lofty goals are shoulder mount, elbow stand deadlift and free standing handstand by the end of the year.
Oh yeah, and those darn splits.
Splits...and a backbend like Saphyre!
Splits!! Cleaner invert and air invert Learn how to do floor work (I'm ridiculous lol) Enter my first competition. :) And keep going as I am. Enjoying every minute if pole :)
Shoulder mount Splits and just continuing to learn more and get better and stronger
I want to get my superman, my shouldermount, middle splits, ayesha and my aerial invert :)
i really want to get some serious back flexy for 2014 so the cocoon ,standing scorpion and ultimately the rainbow Marchenko is the ultimate goal, maybe that one is a lil ambitious as im nowhere near!! but overall if i get more flexible and flowy in the following year on the pole i will be happy ;)
I would love to learn more floor work even go to a floor work workshop if any one knows any happening in Ireland this year please leat me know. freestyle more, splits, Ayesha, brass monkey, jade. And end up with a smoother superman I always get stuck on the flip over lol
Make progress on flexy. (Lots of progress!) Get superman, and get stronger in moves I have. Save up for some pole clothes to feel great in - something sparkly perhaps! Oh, and start videotaping (more a tech challenge than anything else @ this point)!
Increase my flexibility. Splits please! That is the bane of my existence...
Increase my flexibility and strength- I'd like to master some of my lower-level moves, and really work on my sexy dancing :)
work on my freestyle and improve flow, video more, ayesha, handspring and hopefully have an injury free year LOL oh and be more bendy especially with my 'granny' hips ;)
My pole goals for 2014 is to become stronger, more flexible, more disciplined with practicing and stretching, complete a nice and controlled basic invert and become better at transitioning and creating routines. :-)
More flexibility and fluidity (always!) Specific moves that I can kind of do but am determined to perfect are: Deadlift Phoenix!!! Iron X Allegra Cup/split grip handspring/ayesha Various tumbles and drops I would also like to start learning Russian split and other split moves Shoulder mount flip
oh please 2014 bring me a graceful basic invert, a fabulous chopper and front splits. And whatever comes after I'm satisfyed!!! My ass is impossible to move up of the ground, it has it's own gravity, yoknow
HappyRabbit, I know exactly how you feel. I am hoping for those things, too!
I pass my grade 5 exam! Which will entail getting my moves way more polished and solid, and also finally choreographing a proper routine. So I'm determined to get it!
-Flexibility. I'm almost flat on my middle splits. -Poling consistently: I've been slacking a lot lately, mostly due to the insanity that is retail during the holidays and partially due to my own laziness. -Combos: I feel like I had a solid amount of pole moves in my repertoire so now, I want to string them together eventually being able to choreograph a routine to a song. -Hitting the see studio more often: The studio I want is moving again to a location that is more convenient to me so I'll be able to go more often.
To improve my inverts, so i can get all the moves associated with inverting. Right now. I'm obsessed with trying to learn an Advanced Star. I've managed to finally get it from the floor. Next step in getting my invert correct to transition into the position. ALMOST THERE! :)
