Today I performed at the South Devon College as part of their Be Healthy Week. The week was designed to encourage students at the college to do more exercise. We danced on the infamous art of dance stage renowned for being very wobbly and with a podium base that is guaranteed to rip your skin off! Kelly and I took it in turns to dance in front of a very good crowd. I have been forced to remove the vidoes of the dispalys due to complaints from staff at the college - I will be following up this story soon!

Not content with 30 minutes solid of exhibiting I decided to join Jo's pole class at 6.15pm this evening. I was already missing several bits of skin so entered the class with varous bandages, plasters and thai socks adorning my body! Just for Glamour Puss here is what I mean by 'Shoulder Mount to Seat' - Enjoy:

Check out this beautiful new picture of Tamar demonstrating Felix's figurehead.

Lastly big thanks to AmyTree for the divine carrot cake and enjoy your chat with Sue x x

Stay Healthy,

Goodness me! That looks painful! Is it a Chinese pole move?

I'm really glad you liked the cake, and you are SUCH a tease about whatever it is I am supposed to talk to Sue about!!! You've built it up now, I think she's going to make me Queen of the World...

Have you tried putting some sandbags under the stage to weight it down? That's what I do with mine, and it doesn't wobble at all. With 280 pounds of sandbags under there, it really couldn't!

Hi Amber,
Thanks for the advice, we have used sandabags before but they don't stop the pole wobble and that's the bit that scares me!
