Description A few weeks ago I travelled to Helsinki, Finland to go to Pole Art 09, a very serious pole dance competition organized by Tanja Suni (mostly anyway).

This is another one of the instructors from my studio, even though I've only had her as a teacher once when mine was in France. She is impressive as hell, and like Nelle, she won't let you make mistakes. Teachers in my taste, one might say. Her performance was insanely graceful and sensual, we all loved it.

Performer: Marina Oripova (from North Pole Studio, Sweden)

(That position isn't easy or comfortable, just so that you all realize.)

I am too, also why I work hard to get there myself
Of course, Marina is also a freak of nature, but I loved her performance all the same

Thank you!

It doesn't look comfortable at all .__. But she makes it look kind of short of easy o__o
It's a nice picture ::nods:: Was the lighting like this throughout the whole competition?
When did you start pole styling/dancing?

Well, she's really badass, so xD
Yea it was, sometimes it got a bit darker, like when Blacky performed, but I think that was because there was lights in her costume XD
Last spring, late april or early may I think. With a pause for summer <3

You have no idea, that woman can be seriously scary xD
Actually badass is the exact word I use to describe advanced pole tricks : D (Because they're hard, heavy and hurts like a bitch xD)
One day...

Gee... that didn't occur to me XD

Not in a MILLION could you get that body mine to bend like THAT Õ____Õ

So I deeply respect pole dancers now. Because I didn't know there was a serious style! Shame on me. It's so freaking logical! xD

Haha, most people have missed it, which is sad, because I can say that this is one of the most challanging and fun things I've ever done! Not even mentioning being hard, beautiful and impressive. Even if Marina is a freak of nature

Does she even have a spine? XD
Because I hear my back crack just by looking at THAT XDD

I'm sure it'll take a LOT of practise, strength a little help of nature perhaps xD

Oh, you should see the trick jewel, not only am I not flexible enough to do it, I also lack the strenght in that specific place to get into the pose XD Wait... [link] Click the name "jewel" (a name I never really understood to be honest, it looks nothing like a jewel)

First response:

HOLY CRAP Ô.Ô

Amazing^^ BUT IMPOSSIBLE for normal people I'd say xD

*snoops around the site*

I'm falling in love with the names they've come up for it XDD
I mean, to average people these names do not pop-up with pole dancing:

Lunchbox
Peter Pan
XD etc.

I think it's really awesome.

I can do Peter Pan ;D My back is not flexible enough for the lunchbox >_o
And yea, that's my instructor Nelle, she's freaking amazing o.O So damn strong too.

My favorite trick is the Brass monkey right now though, to bad there's no picture of it D:
