Another term done and dusted. My second go at a full routine after baby D. As we walked through the routine in segments before the actual full run, I stole a look at the other pole ladies when I wasn’t hanging on for dear life or gasping away for breath. I wasn’t anywhere near what they were effortlessly executing. I didn’t even dare try the painful broken ballerina again after the first 2-3 weeks when the resulting back ache threatened to make carrying the boys more painful. Didn’t dare to try the last split trick either as there was a high chance I would face plant trying to execute that move :p
So yes, I settled for all the easy variations again. But as I danced the full routine for the last time this term, I found a calmness within.
I lifted my arm and focused on my fingers being soft at the words “kiss her”. I unfolded from the shishi spin and focused on extending those arms to look like Rose in the movie Titanic 🙂 …. i was reminded once more why I still love pole dancing so much after all these years even when the strength and flexibility have fizzled away.
Thank you Ms V. Your choreo was so beautiful once again!
Finally achieving some semblance of a mermaid sitting!
