hi there Kat,

impressed with progress in one weekend. After my first couple of days I had learnt that if you continously hit the same place again and again, it can really start to be very painful...!!!!!!

Kind of used to the brusing though.. i pole dance as well ( for fun not for any other reason/occasion) and you get HUGE bruises doing that!

If only poi had a cigarette holding device on the side...or someone invented a pocket ashtray, that would be cool but don't put your change in it..Ewwwww!

Takeouts on butterfly's let you work on reels better I think, gives you a little practice with the behind the back/shoulder motion of the poi....

EDIT
Rembered something funny, my boyfriend got hit and couldn't walk for like 3 days, he sat in the hallway whining like a puppy. Now he puts his baseball cap down his pants....ewwww again!! Im not wearing that hat!
