  • 👰🏻‍♀️ UNETHICAL 👰🏻‍♀️ What’s the most number of ti 👰🏻‍♀️ UNETHICAL 👰🏻‍♀️ What’s the most number of times you’ve ever listened to a song in one day? This song came up on my feed about a week ago, and then like everyday since because I could not resist watching it repeatedly every time. It’s one of those rare songs that’s even more amazing in her live videos, and I listened to it about 30 times yesterday. The studio version is 3 minutes 40 seconds long, so that’s almost two hours of listening to it on repeat - and when I wasn’t dancing to it, I was karaoke-ing it in my car. And the feeling that this kind of music gives me - that this kind of art gives me - is what makes me want to create. It’s what drives me to dance and make theatre. It’s the hope that you’ll come to see my show and maybe get some of that feeling for yourself…
    💎 NO HANDS JADE 💎 Try these & tag me! NO HANDS JA 💎 NO HANDS JADE 💎 Try these & tag me! NO HANDS JADE FROM CHOPPER This is my favourite entry - be sure to spin it fast! It’ll help you stay in the hip pocket and keep you spinning whilst you stretch out nice & long… SIDE TUCK TO NO HANDS JADE This entry is trickier for me - you have to find the hip pocket in your Jamilla and then maintain it whilst you roll out the the Jade. Much precision required! For more detailed tips & techniques, jump into my FLEXY STRONG FRIDAYS - I’d love to train together online!
    Did you ever wonder why Honey & Chrome has such an Did you ever wonder why Honey & Chrome has such an aesthetic vibe? Because the woman behind this glorious sanctum is a professional designer! In truly typical non-neurotypical style, I decided two days before Sydney Fringe Festival’s program launch that The Pole Shebang needed a rebrand, and this absolute angel of a human being swooped in to fix me up a brand guide and teach me things about design. She deserves the world. Please go send her all your love & support! Go hire her services, book into her studio, sign up for her Stripper Flow classes, and follow her, worship her, send her gifts & chocolates… Thank you, @kelkel.__ - you’re the best! 😍

After a few months of recovery from my last tour, I was so happy to revive this Street Fighter mashup for Studio Eden’s 5th Anniversary. I’ll be heading on tour again (to Sydney in September & Melbourne in October) and this was the best way to kick back into show mode - with a cheering crowd amongst amazing fellow performers. Thank you @ayetorrres for filming and huge congrats to everyone on an awesome night! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, STUDIO EDEN!! 🎉
    🌘 MOONY VARIATIONS 🌒 I’ve been really taking my ti 🌘 MOONY VARIATIONS 🌒 I’ve been really taking my time with Moony to make sure my shoulder feels safe & protected. I’m sure in my early pole years, I would have just launched my legs fully back and been fine, but these days, I have more long life consequences & responsibilities - like doing shows, teaching classes, and ya know, just being able to reach for things on high shelves. This sequence of variations has been magic for me because they’ve allowed me to gradually increase the weight over time - progressions hey, who would’ve thought! If you give em a try, let me know how you go :) 1a. Outside foot on 1b. Outside foot hover 1c. Outside leg split 2a. Straddle 2b. Pike 2c. Chair If you prefer more detailed instruction, live feedback, or training with company, DM me to join our Flexy Strong Friday training. Hope to see you there!
    🧠 BRAINROT BUSTERS If you were disturbed by how ma 🧠 BRAINROT BUSTERS If you were disturbed by how many of those brainrot behaviours you do, here are 3 habit busters that I’ve implemented: 1. interrupt your doomscrolling with a radical shift of movement ie. stretches, pushups, jumping jacks, go for a walk 2. set timers for risky activities ie. 45 minutes to respond to msgs, 30 minutes to create your own posts, 10 minutes to interact with posts that genuinely inspire or motivate you (we’re training our feeds to you know, feed us something healthier) 3. if you’re unable to go cold turkey on things like playing dumb games, set yourself strict timelines ie. after dinner and before 9pm (for me, that time slot doesn’t actually exist on nights that I teach, so I’ve already eliminated it as an option for like half the week) Full disclosure: this still a work in progress, so please do let me know what’s been working for you... cause I think we’re all in pretty dire need of help!! For more of these pearls of wisdom, be sure to follow along and hear about THE POLE SHEBANG 💥
