If you are
a Pole Athlete, I’m sure you can agree with me that Instagram can be a very
motivating and inspirational tool. Then again I personally have fallen in love
with Yoga all over again. With the Pole Expo that was held in Vegas this year I
decided to scout for someone that attended the expo to feature this month.
It is with
great pleasure to introduce Pole ‘n Polly to the corner for November.
At just 23,
Pole ‘n Polly decided to give the sport a go because it looked like a lot of
fun. “ I loath working out, but pole didn’t feel like a workout, it looked like
an exciting new activity.” She trains at Expertease Fitness in Minneapolis and
has been actively involved in Pole for 3 year, also having participated in a
few studio showcases. Having absolutely no background in dance, gymnastics or
yoga, again proves that this sport with the right amount of dedication is
possible.
Pole-ebrities
that inspire and motivate her in this challenging discipline are Sarah Scott,
Carlie Hunter and Cleo the Hurricane to name a few.
She found
it difficult to pick a move that she likes, the response I received was great. “So
Many! If I had to pick and narrow it down, I’d say, Shoulder mount Planche,
Phoenix Spin, Shoulder mount – invisible stairs.” The moves she most likes to
perform are the Twisted Grip Handspring, the Extended Butterfly and the Yogini.
With the limited time left for 2014 she would really like to achieve her Ayesha
grip switch.
Getting to
know Pole ‘n Polly.
“I’m a big
ol’ nerd. Let’s talk Buggy, Lord of the Rings and Labyrinth for hours. I also
LOVE doing routines to show tunes and Disney, I prefer comedy/trick routines
rather than dance and sensuality.”
Her summary
of Pole Expo:
“Pole Expo
was amazing, there were so many different skill levels and it was fun to get to
meet polers from around the world. It was also nice to meet people who follow
you on Instagram and who you follow back. The Pole-ebrities were all super friendly
and always willing to talk or take pictures with you while they were walking
around. It was also amazing to take workshops with Carlie Hunter (elbow grips)
and Sarah Scott (all things handsprings) it’s amazing how their little tips are
the key to nailing something you’ve admired online.”
