How to I master it please? I can do one handed spins on static no problem but the minute I am on spinning I keep falling off it. I engage my shoulders, brace my core but just can't do it, the minute I let go I fall off. Any conditioning exercises I should be doing?

Hi, one handed holds on spinning pole requires a lot more hand strength than static spins for sure! Things you can work on would be: Front and back scapula, up and down scapula, hand exercises, static chair spins. One thing many dancers don't mention is how much easier a one handed hold is when using grip aids. Also a smaller diameter pole makes a difference as well. There's no magic trick other than grip aid and lots of poling to build strength. If you have the lessons check out the conditioning section for hand, forearm and shoulder work!
