Arrow / Jasmine ✨ Two names, same gorgeous move!

On a spinny pole, the take-off is EVERYTHING. 💫
Controlling your initial push and managing your momentum is the secret to getting a smooth, strong spin — rather than taking off like a rocket and losing it halfway round 😂

Control the take-off → control the spin. 🔥

Sarah looking stunning whilst she practices for her upcoming showcase! ❤️❤️

The gorgeous Tabby adjusting for the perfect pose!

Shoulder Mount ➡️ Brass Monkey 🐒

You’ll want a good, solid shoulder mount for this one, as you need enough control and time to move yourself around the pole and hook the inside leg.

A nice little progression if you’re working on your shoulder mount and want to start adding some more challenging variations.

Bomb / Drama Queen variation 💣👑

Just a little variation within the move to give you another option to play with.

Because why do one version when you can make it slightly more dramatic? 👑😂

Me: “Right, so to get into this move, you need to…”

proceeds to explain it for so long that I can no longer actually do the move and just slowly slides down the pole 😂

Teaching fail. 🤦‍♀️

Elbow Grip Tutorial 💪✨

Elbow grip can feel SO much more secure when you understand how to set it up properly. The key is creating the right position before you commit your weight to the grip.

👉 Squeeze your knees together to help move your body away from the pole.

👉 Get the pole right into the crease of your elbow, then squeeze and push your arm down towards the floor to create the lock.

👉 Allow your hips to pull you slightly further away from the pole — this increases the pressure through the elbow grip and makes it even more secure.

When you’ve got the grip right, you should feel super secure in it. 🔒

Love the sunlight in the studio! And a no handed brass monkey!

So excited to be making more progress on I’m so proud of what I’ve already achieved!
