Level 1- Static Pole Dancing Routine || The Little Mermaid - Halloween Themed

I've been wanting to try pole dancing for a LONG time. Just because it looks really beautiful, skilful and fun. So I finally signed up for an 8 week beginner (level 1) static pole class.

In case you didn't know there are two different types of pole dancing:

1. Static: The pole is stationary and you use your body's momentum to move around it until you generally slide down the pole such as with the fireman spin (the first spin I do in this video).
2. Spin: Basically the pole spins on its own. So generally you do a similar version of the moves you learn on a static pole, but this time instead of sliding down while you spin, you actually stay in the same position on the pole while the pole spins for you. It's really graceful looking.

So like I said I took a level 1 8 week course in pole dancing and it was SUPER FUN! I loved it so much. It brought me out of my comfort zone. It's made me feel more confident. It's helped to ground me in my fitness journey. I now go to the gym several times a week, because I'm striving to achieve greatness in pole dancing and I need to work on my strength and endurance to get there. I haven't consistently worked out for about two years. And I'm pretty good at it for a beginner... if I do say so myself. Anyway I just love it so much.

At the studio I go to in week 7 we do an assessment to gauge if we can move to the next level. For this the teacher will say the name of the moves that we have learned and we have to preform them with no assistance. I was lucky enough to get a 110/110. Although I don't believe in perfect scores because there is always room for improvement.
Week 8 is fun week. Every term they have a different theme and this term the theme was Halloween. So I decided to dress up as the Little Mermaid. What do you think?
Unfortunately I didn't realise at the time when I positioned my camera, that I would accidentally cut myself off when I climbed the pole. If you want to see that part fully I have a video I took on my phone from week 7 on my Instagram @ruthielizbeth. So feel free to check that out.

Since I loved pole so much I signed up for the next term. But instead of just doing 1 class a week I now do TWO. I decided to not only take Level 2 Static but also try Level 1 spin. So be prepared to follow by journey if you're interested on my Instagram and HERE where I'll post my final routine after I've completed my course.
