Today's pole flow is something new I've been dabbing in - Russian flow! If you remember my pole goals for 2018 -- it is to be more dance-y, so I am branching out! Usually danced in heels, russian flow is the epitome of fluidity. In pole, heels and boots add a whole different dimension to the game! Not only do they add weights to the feet, but the shoe itself allows you to slide/drag your foot smoothly across the floor and apply pressure to the top of the toes for certain moves! It's not my usual trickster pole style, but I've found it to be super fun although it is really tiring and a great workout with the added weight to the feet. You might notice that most of the weight of the foot is just on the "toe box" of my boot - allowing for pivots. Interestingly enough, russian flow requires a lot of upper body engagement - so you can put much less weight than usual on the feet and get that smooth fluidity. Today's video has my practice of different combos I've learned in class. I loved playing around with the combos! Thanks for watching!
Love,
Jess
