poles

[sarren]

So am I the only one who spent today going 'Ow ow ow'?

Fine.

Poledancing apparently uses all the muscles in your arms and ARMPITS. At least, all the muscles I need to do my job. Unless I'm a freak and other people don't have muscley armpits. *frowns* That makes no sense.

I did slidey/swing around my pole a lot. Also, quite enthusiastically. And they gave us a bit of time to play at the end, after the demo by the expert, which included a lot of upside down manouevers.

Me *rubs sweat off pole*
cricketk - Upside down!
Me *slideyswing*
K - I want to go upside down.
Me *puts hands lower and kicks out gently, experimentally*
K *fondling own pole* I want to go UPSIDE DOWN!
Me *hands much lower* *attempts to kick up higher*
K *slideyswing* *pout*
Me *speculatively* If I had enough muscles in my arms to hold your weight while you swung up...

...and then it was time to go.

Probably just as well that they never left us unsupervised.

I'm not all that sore (upper arms, a bit), but I'm suspecting this is from sheer lack of effort/understanding how to correctly perform moves, on my part. :)

Me: I wanna spin!
Gorgeous girl approaches: Try a thinner pole.
Me: *discover there are thinner poles, attempt spin with varying degrees of success, and many wipe downs*
Me: *finally* Spin! YAY!

:D
