Hectic!!!!

Hi all,
Im so sorry i have been slack with informing you all of my whera abouts and doings, etc. I have been studying very hard as my first exam is a week today. i am so nervous and worried but i am trying to put in the effort (facebook keeps distracting me!) so i should do fine. Im just about to revise now so i thought i would just give you a quick low down on my events.

I have been teaching tuesdays classes at 1.30pm, these are great and a fab study break. The girls are doing well and improving incredibly. I unfortunately will not be teaching the next two Tuesday because of exams but i will be back after then. I have also been up to my usual tricks with the UPPDC classes on Wednesday, they are going well and have been really good for the girls to get out of their studying time table. A good dance is a great stress reliever!

I am teaching another flexibility class this Saturday at 12.30pm, it will be very similar to the last class, lots of excessive stretching so make sure you book now and come on an empty stomach :-)

I am now off to revise the dreaded chemistry!!
Take care and i hope to see you soon xxxxxx

Hello!
Well it looks like we are all enjoying a fresh sunny spring, im so glad it isn't raining or overly hot like last year. That was all totally crazy!

Im in great spirits, my Saturday flexability work shop went down a treat! So Sam has set up another one for the 26th of April at 12.30pm. If you missed this one make sure you don't miss the next one!! If you went to this one, make sure you come back for more! No doubt you will after all the great feedback i recieved :-)
I had a lovely group of girls on my Tuesday class, very determined and hard working, keep it up ladies :-)

I am teaching my UPPDC group this afternoon, i know they will want a complete beasting after a long break so i will make sure i don't disappoint!! hehe

I went into the dance shop at the bottom of town opposite the market today, i was just browsing about when the male shop attendant started chatting to me about the shoes and stuff i was looking at. When i told him what i did he was so in awe of pole dancing! What a fab reaction! he was enthusiastic about how flexible and strong we are to do what we do and he thought it is an awesome fitness sport. I was so pleased, this gives me more confidence to boost pole dancing in Plymouth, and the UPPDC are starting with the university. We are aiming to promote pole dancing to such a high caliber that anyone who dares to knock us down will crawl away ashamed of their arrogance :-)

Watch this space!!

Well i have to go and do my uni work, exams are in a couple of weeks and i have 2 more things to finish before i can get into the full swing of revision.

Until the next time, take care and keep spinning :-)

Hello again, well after all that chocolate (and chocolate covered crunchy nut cornflakes i keep making) i notice that chocolate isn't great for the figure!

So on Friday when gorgeous Sam suggested all the staff have a pole jam after our meeting, i was very much up for it. It was so much fun as the lovely Jo decided to film us all messing around on the pole, which actually turned out ok. Though ofcourse im never happy with my own performance, especially as i had a mind lapse and didn't know what on earth to do! You can check out the videos on Sam's Blog.

Also on the sunday just gone my boyfriend and i went surfing, though the waves were so big we put our boards back in the car and ended up jumping around like teenagers in the waves. It was so much fun! My abs and bum muscles were in agony, i definitely recommend acting like a kid in big waves, not only do you laugh so much, but you get a really good exercise hitting the areas you really want worked :-)

 Its so great to see the sun coming out more regularly, especially when it gets a little warmer too. I have been going out of the house with out a coat!! First time in a very long time. Im so excited about the summer that i have decided to sell my fiesta which is unfortunately just sitting around watching the world go by, and am investing in a VW camper van! i have looked at one but have been put off the rubbish the seller keeps repeating (hobby? My butt, surely traveling the country buying campers, re-spraying them and selling them is more of a business then a hobby!) I have my eye on one, i will keep you informed with my purchase :-)

This Tuesday i had a great work out with the beautiful Rossanna, we practised our world class tricks which almost broke me. But then i had 2 lessons after which was also fun as it cooled me down but kept me active. It is great to see how well these girls are progressing, it gets better each week :-)

Today i gave my usual UPPDC lesson, but i really beasted the poor girls. Not one left without a bruise, this always makes me smile as i know they worked really hard and push themselves to pain. Very inspirational!

I am next in the studio on Saturday, i will be teaching my flexibility class, i did the session plan today. i'm not going to lie, its a lot of stretching and you may walk like John wayne and be floppy like Mr Soft, but the next day you will feel great :-)

So until the next time, take care an have a great weekend :-)
