Street Pole Dance!
As a pole dancing student, it is very difficult for me to resist the dark force to strike some pole poses on these street “poles” :p
These “poles” are indeed directional signs, which are part of the “Visitor Signage Improvement Scheme” implemented by the Hong Kong Tourism Commission.
There are mainly 3 types: Directional Sign, Mapboard and Idenification Sign. These visitor signage aimed to provide convenience for visitors while travelling around Hong Kong.

I am extremely weak with my split grips… I tried bending my upper arm (left arm in my case); tried from the hand spring mount and cartwheel mount… etc etc, but all I could manage is an extended butterfly. This was extremely frustrating as the candle stick (or the split grip straight edge) is such a beautiful and powerful pose. After studying (yes, study) Jamila’s step-by-step and very detailed DVDs, I finally managed to do one….
I tried from normal inversion at first, in which I slowly release the outside leg followed by my inside leg after finding my balance point. I then tried from Cartwheel, in which I still have to do a little bit of tip-toeing on the pole before releasing both legs…. will work on that

Been wanting to do this ever since I’ve got the aysia…. after getting loads of tips from various places, I finally managed to get it (or should I say, managed to find my balance point for this pose? :p)
Here’s a video:

wanted to try extended butterfly on spinning pole for ages but was very scared…. But then I tried one from normal inversion and I was spinning way tooooooo fast and so decided to start the butterfly from handspring…
after spending… an hour, I finally got one. However, still have to practise alot more…
1) legs not straight enough
2) lower arm need to push up more so that I can split my legs wider
3) longer duration
4)… etc

Since i am a total newbie to spinning pole, the private lesson with Bobbi I had in the Sydney Studio was extremely tiring (although I had the hour shared with a friend)…. This experience is totally challenging, as the poles there are soooo thin! I guess they are only 38mm poles while I am used to fatty 50mm poles…
anyway, I somehow managed to learn something new – inverted pole splits.

| Helene is leaving us, moving to New York….. I had a private lesson with her and I finally managed to do the knee hold. But it was soooooooooooo painful >.< Don’t think I will ever do that again as I have bad knees :p
I apologise for deleting my face here -looking toooo horrible!

Had a spinning pole work shop with Lu from Lu Pole Dance Studio, she is one of the top pole dance artist in Japan. It was really fun (and dizzzzzy)! It is amazing how TALL she is, considering she is asian :p We then had a second workshop with Anja, which is less tiring, but alot more difficult – burlesque pole! The reason why it was difficult as… I am so not to being burlesque type of girl – which is – big! show this! show that! love! etc etc…. Anja is definitely adorable and I love her smile

this has nothing to do with “T in the Park” lol
found a quiet and nice little playground somewhere in the Eastern part of Hong Kong, and decided to do a few pole tricks which I learned recently: Straight Edge and Aysia with baseball grip it was fun
