    Default Floor Work

    Of all the things I do at work, I have the most fun on stage, by far. I am really into my music, and it shows, and I really just have a great time up there. I want to get more experienced with the pole, but I really want to get one at home first to practice on, so that's kind of on the back burner.

    But floor work is something that I can learn now. I can't do the splits, though I've gotten much more flexible that way recently, both with working and with doing those flexibility exercises where you're up against the wall with your legs spread. But there's so much other stuff you can do with floor work, and unfortunately, I'm not that imaginative. Anyone know of any youtube videos or DVD's that actually show decent floor work moves, without relying on props or chairs or poles or any of that stuff?

    Watch Alena Down's videos on youtube, she does beautiful floor work. Fawnia has some too, but a lot of it requires more flexibility.

    Go to youtube and do some searches. You can watch the vid's and then practice at home.

    I'm a guy who can do the splits in anyway you want me too.

    The trick is to use gymnastics stretches called straddle or v-sits and do modifications of them to improve flex.

    This youtube video explains it

    Many Yoga moves are beautiful. Yoga itself is wonderful for gaining the flexibility and grace for both floor and pole work, with the bonus of calming your mind. Again, youtube is a great resource, if you do not want to go to classes. I am known at my club for floor work, I do no pole at all.

    This video has some pole work but I think the girl does some nice floor work too. I might be wrong though, I was never good at floor work so it doesn't take much to impress me.
