Floor work is a big part of pole that I don't quite practice enough of. During a competition, there are normally two poles - one static and one on spinner mode, and you are usually required to use both during your performance. There are a lot of types of moves that can get you across and tie your pole passes together with some dance. The floor work move in the video today is known as a fish flop!

The last time I tried this was about 8 months ago, and resulted in a lot of ungraceful belly flops. I finally decided this week that it was time to work on it again because as you may know, one of my pole goals this year is to be more dancy. I was pleased at the result because I was able to understand the mechanics of it. I was able to complete the move by shooting my legs up towards the ceiling and quickly arching my back on the descend to get more of a roll down instead of belly flopping. I do want to keep working to smooth out and make my fish flop more exaggerated. It also helps that our aerial room has a nice padded floor, lol! Thanks for watching!
Love,
Jess
