Adventures In Pole Dancing: I Found Some Jade

It’s obvious you need full body strength for successful pole dancing and as a result, no two people can grasp the same moves in the same way.

Adventures in Pole Dancing 4: Chopper City

Hello chopper. I can do it now⎯the basic version. The chopper is when you kick your legs up over your head into an upside down v. It’s an easy pole dance move for those who are advanced but for pole babies like me, tackling even the basic version is a huge victory. Now that I […]
