Weekend Crush: Jenyne Butterfly

Jenyne is what I call more of a "pole athlete" (for comparison, Anastasia is more of a "polerina" to me). She definitely rocks some power moves, like her signature Iguana-mount Air Walk--and some killer muscles at that. She's the super athlete, yet flirty and adorable down to the small gestures she makes with her hands. So many reasons to love her!

Even better, she's super flexy! What is there not to love about a woman that can stick her legs straight behind her head? And her Extended Allegra... an absolute dream. So maybe I pretend to be Anastasia when I'm stretching. Maybe. She certainly is a whole lot of inspiration in one person!

I found a YouTube video the other day that made me love her all the more because she held a lot of her
poses--most of them, in fact! I wish pole dancers wouldn't whip through moves so fast. It's a big complaint of mine, maybe just because I am a newer poler and I don't catch the individual moves as they switch quickly, or maybe it is just too jerky for me. I haven't quite decided but I know I love performances where the move is held so it can be fully appreciated, and I think Jenyne more than delivered!





Not only that, but check out that awesome back walk-over! Talk about flexibility and strength. I have to say, Anastasia might be miss ultra-flexy but Jenyne is power-flexy. In Februrary when I was focusing on bridges and back flexibility I realized just how much strength it takes to maintain that pose so finding this video now I can really appreciate how truly special it is. That move is definitely going on my wish list!

Another Jenyne element I like is she brings the sexy. This is one of those things I had to think about a bit because she's such a dynamic poler and it makes her hard to classify. At first glance, is Jenyne a power athlete? A sexy dancer? Is she girly and giggly? I think she's all of these, and as hard to reconcile these traits as it is, I think she does an amazing job. I'll leave you with one more of my fave Jenyne videos, and this one is more sexy-sexy:
