Beginner Level 3: Day 9
Duration: 00:33:36
Today you’ll be practicing the beginner sexy pole dance routine. Below I’ve listed a reminder of how to approach learning a routine.
Pro tip: Remember these steps during the practice session:
Slow it down: Practice the routine at a slower tempo until you are comfortable, then gradually increase the speed to the normal pace. You can slow down or speed up the videos here by clicking on the little setting gear icon at the bottom of the video player.
Break up the routine into multiple sections: Instead of learning the entire dance at once, break it into smaller, manageable sections.
Repeat and repeat: Practice each section multiple times until you build muscle memory. Drill it, or even practice the motions in slow-motion or “marked” with partial movements.
Connect the sections: Once you’ve mastered a section, practice connecting it to the next one by focusing on the transition.
Practice consistently: A little practice every other day is more effective than cramming it all in at once.
Practice with the music: After you have the basic movements down, start practicing with the music to get the timing and rhythm correct.
Allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.
Below is a list of direct links to each full length tutorial you worked on in today’s session. Remember you only need to click on these if you’d like more help or information.
day 9 ✅
Hi Veena! My bottom hand seems to get stuck in forearm sit when I try to get out of the move. Any advice on that?
A video would be helpful for troubleshooting. How are you attempting to get out?
Hi Veena, sorry for late reply! I kinda had to watch the tutorial again and try doing as it says 😊. Adjusted lower sitting hand a bit, then more active in gripping with legs on the way back and pulling with hand, much better exit. Problem was sliding down a bit over the lower hand.
Ok! Good job!
Morning ! i struggled a little with the fireman spin to back hook…. transitioning from fireman to back hook `even though i watched it a lot of times !! Any tips at all
Do you have a video or can you explain what part was troubling you?
This was fun. I had an issue with transitioning from fireman to backhook on beginner 1. I kept sliding down the pole too quickly even with grip…so annoying. I just need to practice more and work on my grip more.
Keep in mind that the more outward momentum you can generate the easier it will be to stay up. So yes, practice and keep that momentum up ⬆️ 💜
Noted, “more outward momentum” to stay up. Thank you. 🙂
👍
Of the two combos, I found #1 the hardest! Haven’t figured out the transition between fireman spin and back hook. . . yet (I almost typed “I can’t” and slapped my own wrist, lol). I feel like I slide too far down before I can do anything to transition to back hook. Crazily enough, I can already do this on spin pole.
It’s much easier to do the combo on spin so it’s not odd that the static version is more challenging. Love the conscious change of wording from can’t.
On another note, will you be joining us on the timeline for the elbow stands this week?
Thanks. 🙂 Former yoga teacher here. . . now I just practice at home.
I haven’t checked out the timeline yet but I’m going to sit down and do so tonight. I could use a refresher on elbow/forearm stands.
Yoga teacher! That’s 💜💜💜
Day 9 done 👍✅
