I have never tried any of the silicone sleeves, however I hear they are very hard to remove. Have you thought about trying grip aid or sticky leggings? When my legs wont stick because they are...more

Hi Veeners! I'm not sure if this is allowed (if it isn't, I totally understand!)... One of my best friends is a fellow pole dancer and instructor. She's one of the most generous people I know,...more

There are roughly 20 moves I consider fundamental basics. Master these and you'll be well on your way to learning all kinds of cool tricks, transitions and combos! Remember, basic or fundamental...more

That's awesome!!!! 😘😘😘😘...more

I sent you a message. :) Although it looks like my formatting went a little wonky. ...more

Is it the regular ballerina or the twisted ballerina you're trying to do? I remember feeling something similar to what you described while trying to do the twisted ballerina. For me that was a back...more

Bit of a long shot but sfs?...more

How can you tell if your place is Able to have a pole? I’ve been wanting one at home but I’m concerned with being on the 3rd floor as well as the place being really old. ...more

@strangefox, great to hear I'm not the only one hehe...more

Awesome! Glad you found the joist. It's a pretty safe bet to use a light fixture as a point of reference. I actually did that in my basement. As long as you check your ceiling for cracks periodically...more

Yay!!! I love floor play...more

Thanks LatinPoler! I will give working out my glutes a try. I can't yet use this new flexibility on the pole, so working my glutes will probably help that. Also, I find I'm gaining a new ROM, losing...more

We’re all different and it’s quite normal to “lose” a move. I used to be able to do all the handsprings quite easily. Now it’s become a mindscrew because I don’t train them regularly...more

Throwing a chiffon scarf maybe? They float down beautifully. Tuck in shirts or bra, they scrunch up to matchbox size ...more

I can log into the app from my iPad. Does anyone else have this issue?...more

Yeah I get that, but if you put the flying pole up without a swivel, it won't spin round as such (maybe half a turn in each direction), but the bottom isn't attached and can move- does this make...more

Who is this ignorant mo-fo? Maybe he wants some more...ahem... “attention”?...more

Pilates/body weight type exercises! For example, some of Veena's strength routines are only 10 mins long, try those out? Or play around with different exercises, and rep depending on how much...more

maybe I should try Lupit Grip then... I had seen it but wasn't quite sure what it was hehe. Definitely looks like a nifty little product :P...more

Ooooh ok. I sometimes become obsessed and go too hard with things. Maybe I should back off a day and i like what you said about the DEEP lunge twist! Thank you!!...more

Thanks guys...next session will have to have a floorwork focus then! I get lazy practising floorwork partly because my ceiling seems instable so I train on an Xstage, so I only have a metre around...more

Yeah, if you can't come up with something, wearing them for photos would work 😁...more

@TrixieLovett That’s awesome, thank you for the response. I am glad you got the surgery and able to clean anything up. I know the mental aspect of it will be a challenge, the thing I fear most are...more

This made my day!!!!! I love that I can reach so many by having lessons online, but I miss out on the in person happy moments! Thank you for taking the time to let me in on your journey...more

Thanks Veena! I think it might be placement of the pole, which is being caused by me not pulling enough with the hamstrings. I tried again last night and had great success. I paid really close...more

Thanks for the tips Veena. :) I will do some googling!...more

I ended up doing pole instead of lollipop (studio issues) and had a great time. My thighs were burning afterwards! I managed a couple of spins and some seat holds, nothing too fancy yet but thankfully...more

Hi guys Hoping to get some input on my entry to Pole Theatre Drama. My entry has been accepted (yay!) but my studio manager doesn't think my concept is 'strong enough'. She has seen my show live...more

Silicone is the one finish I don't have! I'm sure if you bought it from xpole it's not used, but not how they normally look. ...more

Oh boy, I didn't know it was a bruise, yeah don't foam roll until that's gone!...more

Great!! 😄...more
