Day 13 complete ? I actually did the dragon fruit routine I think I'll write it down an video it soon ? but I think I did it but with no music lol ?? xx
When I did this one a few days ago, in the Dragonfruit routine I realized I could just tuck my legs up without flailing around. That slow-building strength is everything.
Whoot!!! ?
Hi Veena! I just wanted to say thank you for making these programs. I always wanted to do pole for the tricks, and all flow and sexy dance stuff made me feel awkward. I almost made it to this lesson a few months ago, not putting much efford in the flow and dance routines because of this. Then life happend and I took a break, so a few weeks ago I restarted beginner 2, this time actually trying the dances. Today I tried the dragonfruit dancing routine in heels and on some of my own (metal :) ) music. It wasn't perfect, but I had fun! So thank you for helping me get out of my comfort zone <3
That’s terrific news! ?
I really enjoy the dragonfruit routine and I am definitely getting better. I started working on improving my hand movements during the side knee hook and the front knee hook. I noticed I am having a challenge with the modified pole hold. I tend to land too close to the pole which then gives me a hard time making the turn from the floor. I tried moving back a step but I think it will take some practice to get it right. Any suggestions?
Nice! For the modified pole hold, you’re using the push grip. Here’s some tips for that https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/forearm-push-grip-pull-grip-free-838/ Also, it’s a bit of a hop. You’re not just using your arms to hold you. It’s kind of like you lightly use the grip but then hop into the pose at the bottom. Does that make sense?
I see what you mean about the little hop. I’ll take a look at the video you suggested too. Thank you.

I'm way more confident and feel really good preforming the dragon fruit routine now! I am sometimes too far way away from the pole when I do a leg hook tho and have to awkwardly shuffle closer lol but over it is much smoother! Was helpful to go over reverse body wave too, I find that move a little difficult to execute elegantly so i'll keep chipping away at it.
over all* agh so many typos sorry!
ps I stuck with heels like you suggested and I barely notice theyre on anymore! took about a week of trying them here and there.
That’s great news all around! ??
day 13 ✅
Awesome!
Hi, I've tried the dragonfruit dancing routine with heels! Obviously in the slow motion :-)) and I like it!!
That's good! I find that when I take time off and come back the first 2 sessions I feel weak but then things come back quick!
Actually the Hard Core Warmup was easier now. Used to be this easy like 3 years ago, so maybe it's safe to say my core strength is where it used to be now!
Oh an I've got my white bord coming to ????
Yay and I love my white board!
I did the videos both sides lol ?? from memory ????
That's impressive! It's so hard for me to remember choreography, I think that's why I like to freestyle.
Hahaha don't know if you watched them sent them through connections xxx
