This week's challenge is a review...

• Try one of the moves you missed OR

• Try a combo
  

Let's think of combos using 2-3 of the 6 moves!! Can you help? I put my idea in the first comment!!

GARGOYLE | BLACK WIDOW | GEMINI SPLIT | FLATLINE SCORPIO | BRASS MONKEY | HOOD ORNAMENT

Your Weekly Challenge! REVIEW TIME! 

GARGOYLE | BLACK WIDOW | GEMINI SPLIT | FLATLINE SCORPIO | BRASS MONKEY | HOOD ORNAMENT

(PLEASE NOTE: The videos included in this challenge are only the silent demonstrations from each challenge because I did not want to make you all to have to mark every single tutorial as "watched". So PLEASE use the search function in the upper right corner of the catalog to search for in depth tutorials on all of the moves included here!)

We've had SIX different moves for challenges so far with many different entries, exits, combos, and variations!

This is your week to take a look back at either a challenge that you missed OR if you've managed to successfully complete all 6 challenges, this is your week to revisit and further "clean up" one that you already did! Often times in pole, we bounce around to the "next cool Instagram move". So I love having review weeks in my personal practice too, which gives me a chance to further connect and explore with moves and sequences that I've already done in the past. I hope you enjoy this week!!

Response to some posts from this week's Brass Monkey challenge!! I love discussing topics like this within the community, so I'm really glad this weekly challenge led us here 😀 "Like" this post or leave a comment below if you have things to add ⬇️

Vanessa okay so actually I'm not going to fight you at all on your opinion on cross ankle vs cross knee transition to brass monkey 🤣 I put a comment on Elena Martelli's video yesterday that Espi can chime in on too...

looking back at the layout of that tutorial, the "cross knee layback" entry should have been moved down in the intermediate or even advanced topics section of the tutorial and the "kick up from floor" and "drop down" should have been moved up to the more "beginner" topics of the tutorial.

I believe my original thought when making the placement like that was that cross knee layback is typically less scary than cross ankle layback, BUT when it comes to transitioning to brass monkey, the low back twist needed for that cross knee layback is A LOT and can absolutely feel very awkward.

Would love to hear others chime in! Love seeing all the posts and questions from this week!
