Hello! I started to pole at the start of November 2010 and I am well and truly dedicated to learning as much as I can. I do pole more for fitness rather than the dancing aspect so far, I love the tricks and holds and spins but always leave out the booty wiggles or body waves and sexy moves! One day... I have learnt a lot of tricks over the past year, and my favorites are my cartwheel and handspring mounts and twisted grip holds. I feel so strong and empowered in those positions! I am finding the more advanced world of pole very challenging, it takes longer to get a new trick, but so worth it! It took me over 6 months to get the cartwheel mount, and over 4 months to figure out how to stay on the pole in a jade split (not that I can split). I love my achievements and get so excited! I hope to become even stronger in time. I have noticed tricks coming on faster now that I am a year into pole! I am doing a lot of combos now too, and thinking them up while on the pole, never thought I'd do that! Goal tricks for 2012 which I may never get are the Phoenix and a good slow twisted grip lift. Otherwise I am desperate for flexibility, been stretching for my front splits for a year and still not flat!!!! :( working a bit on my back now too, it's gonna be a slooow progress.
