Vampires Have Curves

Pole Dancing Grip Powder For Greater Success

When it comes to pole dancing, grip is the most important strength feature which you cannot improve with practice. Think for a moment about the contact area between you and the pole. Each pole dancing position has contact between you and the pole on different surfaces of skin. Each of these contact areas must grip the pole in varying ways in order to continue through to the next pose. Pole dancing is a fluid dance which must be peformed in continuous movement with differing degrees of difficulty. Improving your grip of the pole on all skin surfaces can be accomplished with grip powders. A really good grip powder is made using thermoplastics which react to body heat and provide improved grip and inhibits sweat and chaffing. Thermoplastic grip powders lasts for hours and easily washes off with soap and water.

The following are some popular pole dancing moves with instruction as to where the body’s grip is applied. For best use of the grip powder it may be wise to use it on areas that are used to contact the pole such as legs, arms, feet, and hands. This will surely help when moving from one dance move to another.

Batman pose – In the upside down flat pose position, grip tighter with legs and release your hands. Hang for a moment from your legs, then slide down the pole pole with an arched back in a curved position. The grip powder will allow you to both grip and then slide without catching.

Climb and splits – Climbing pole, stopping there to secure grip by straightening & tightening legs before sliding down into jazz splits. Once again it’s all about the grip plus slide.

Swan – To get momentum walk round pole, inside arm really high & firmly gripped onto the pole, step on outside leg & bring inside leg in front of pole & hook knee to pole, then complete one-handed forward spin. Twisting around the pole requires the grip and slip technique as well.

Showgirl – Climb pole, both legs wrapped around it, with the dominant arm in a stabilizing position while extending other arm gracefully. Then detach one leg from pole-grip in similar extension and slide down in this one leg/one arm pose. This move requires both grip strength and fluidity of movement.

Hip Spin – First, grab pole firmly with outside arm high & inside arm low, pull with upper & push with lower hands together while kicking off floor with legs, bending them around pole in cocoon-spinning position, with your tummy flat against the pole. Grip chalk can also be applied to the bare midriff in order to gain a little more leverage.

Vampire – Climb pole & adopt sitting position with crossed legs, then grip pole between thighs before letting go with hands & leaning backwards to hang in that position. Trusting your grip strength with this pose can be daunting without a little added help from the grip powder.

Two-handed coil – Start with the secondary side closest to pole, grip with both hands & kick legs forward, then while swinging back, coil body round pole to spin. This move requires a lot of hand grip strength to hold your body in place, then enough slide in order to spin around the pole.

As you can see, a good grip on many parts of your body will help with the necessary pole dancing positions required for fun or competition. It is necessary in pole dancing to gain grip strength while practicing in order to begin to trust yourself and move on to the next position. Without a good grip powder, the practice time will be greater and you may hurt yourself in the process. Preventing anything negative in the process of getting stronger and more in shape will surely lead to a lifetime of fun and good health.

What Should I Write About? What Story Ideas Are Overdone?

Now as I try to get back in my creative writing curve, I’m trying to decide what should and should not be written about. For example: The whole Vampire vs Werewolf thing is so overdone, yet all we see right now are vampire books, movies, and TV shows. Does that mean it’s alright to write another vampire romance? Or are there fields of romantic fantasy that have gone unappreciated for too long and need some new material?

Oh my, I’m so happy you asked this question!
I find it weird how people claim that “fresh” is what they’re looking for, yet the “cliche” is everywhere.
Due to this fact, writers take it to extremes and write about so unworldly things that it becomes unreliable. There has to be a balance.
In this world, I think that it’s impossible to write a truly original book. But through work, you can still make it different enough for the reader’s eye.

Plots that I’ve read to many times for my health:
*a child brought up in a remote village -preferably at farm- finds out that all that he knew about himself and about his life is a lie. He starts a quest that seems so unreal compared to his old life.

*The new kid in school is always the special one. He always has to hide a dark secret or he’s future will be one of national interest.

(My memory let me down, and I can’t name another “plot-cliche”, but trust me: they are many)

Even relationships are now overwritten: the popular boy likes the shy girl, if they tease each other, means it’s love, student- apprentice relationship, “forbidden love”, and so on. I’m not saying to create a new kind of interaction, just approach them in a different way.

Other overused things in fantasy novels:

Almost every time I pick up a fantasy novel it *has* to contain, elves, dwarfs, dragons, vampires (lately). As I said: you don’t have to invent other creatures (it would be cool if you do) just see them through your eyes -a good example at what I’m referring to is the series Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer.
*elves always have to be gracious, mystic, almost superior,. dwarfs are small (obviously), the lack manners, their only concern is gold. Dragons -they are present everywhere!. They always are either the gentle strong beasts, or the fierce-above-all-creatures character. Vampires… Well I can;t say that the angle we see vampires hasn’t been harvested (sparkly vampires, special schools for them -just a few examples) but the problem is that now they’re *everywhere*. They are like the new elves (excuse my bold comparison), gracious, there always seems like it’s something wrong under that perfect features.

That’s all I can think of now. My best advice to give is -also a cliche, but a good one-: get out of your comfort zone. You are the “God” in your novel, you get to set the rules -make them as harsh and original as you can.
