The finishing move of my routine. Can you tell that I love (yet also hate) a Russian layback? ❤️

I absolutely love the shape, however this was such a struggle since, for some reason, I decided to do this trick on spinning and at the end of the routine at that!?!
Until the last week of training I sometimes fell out of this move. And I mean really head first😂😅.
So during competition I told myself to just go slow, even if that meant not spinning to a complete stop, to prevent falling. And I did it💪🏼

All in all, lesson learned. Hanging from one knee and having to move your head down on a spinning pole is hard. I'll do this on static next time.

Floor work moments✨

I changed my floor work with only three training sessions to go😳. Which seems like a crazy thing to do looking back. But it had to be done since it was so stiff before. Thanks to the amazing Ariane from the Pole Dance Factory I made it work.

Art, choreo and storytelling is a point I very much want to improve on for next year.

The 'most difficult' trick from my routine was this chest press with a value of 0.8

I was worried if I would manage to get it in time. Mostly because of an infection in my chest caused by this skill😅. But some ibuprofen and putting the pole in a slightly different place did the trick🤗
I'm very proud that I managed to showcase it.

Pencil spin💫

Poledance is the opposite of gymnastics when it comes to judging moves. In gymnastics you receive points for a move when it is recognisable and get deducted for any errors in the move (like alignment or a split that's under 180 degrees). In pole you don't receive points for a move unless you execute it perfectly.
Anyway in both perfection is the goal✨
