Pole position must be a hard spot to take if you’ve only got one limb.
Australian dancer Deborah Roach took out the disabled category of the International Pole Championship in Hong Kong over the weekend, flinging herself artfully around a pole with just one arm.
Most people have enough trouble even with two.
“Yeah look, I actually got into an underground Goth scene in my teenage years because I didn’t fit into normal society. And I loved dancing the night away on the dance floor, and that led to stage dancing in clubs,” said Roach.
Roach is, by all accounts, quite a remarkable achiever. She quit her job in IT when she realised she had the goods (she beat able-bodied contestants in a competition in 2009), became a personal trainer and then received her first prosthesis and learned to ride a bike at the age of 28.
She wants to represent Australia at the Paralympics, too, which should surprise absolutely no one after having read all that.
What have you done lately that others thought you couldn’t?

I hadn't heard of Deb til yesterday but she has definitely inspired me to work so much harder at my pole dancing. I had double the amount of bruises in last nights class because of her!
I beat my friend's boyfriend in a push up contest. Real push ups. I got to 25, he only got to 18! Everyone thought he was going to own me completely.
me too!!
she's such an inspiration. i've made a conscious effort to stop saying "I can't" in my pole class, and just try harder. I'm not going to let my shoulder issues get in the way either!
Most people during this point in time invest in into marketing--especially in relation to audio.Commonly, they land up making payment on the big dollars to acquire headphones (or simply speakers) that sound totally terrible.Beats By Dre lots of monster beats headphone the serious companies around play tricks around the untrained ear to obtain the audio excellent sound substantially superior to it is actually.In fact,it will mask what you're really playing.Monster Beats Sale the larger quantities of reduced finish cover a lot of different sounds, and often even entire instruments, which might be section of a recording.That's the audio to be muddy and garbled together.
