Jasmine

What is the Jasmine in Pole Dancing?

The Jasmine is a stunning, intermediate pole move that blends a sense of strength and artistry. This move involves hooking your leg onto the pole while opening your upper body to create a beautiful, heart-shaped silhouette. With its elegant contours and soft lines, the Jasmine feels both mesmerizing and powerful. It’s a foundational move that transitions beautifully into more advanced tricks and combinations, making it a favorite among dancers wanting to add flow and grace to their routines.

Why the Jasmine Feels So Empowering

The Jasmine is a move that feels like pure poetry in motion. It’s elegant but not overly complicated, which means you can trust yourself to stay present in the moment and truly enjoy how your body moves. There’s an undeniable confidence boost in seeing yourself hit this shape for the first time—you realize the line between strength and softness is where your power shines. For many dancers, it becomes a favorite because it looks stunning without feeling overwhelming to execute, making it perfect for those “I’ve got this” moments.

When to Try the Jasmine

The Jasmine is usually introduced after you’ve built some strength for pole holds and have become comfortable with basic leg hooks (like those used for the Pole Sit). It’s a great milestone move to work toward after mastering beginner spins and transitions, as it helps you develop balance and control. Your coach will let you know when you’re ready, as the Jasmine requires a strong, secure grip and a level of comfort with body positioning on the pole. Don’t rush—this move feels best when you’re confident and steady in your pole foundation!
