If anyone can take this DO IT!!!! I loved my workshop with Amber. I learned a lot from her. I should have done a private with her but they weren’t offered and I didn’t want to go behind the other studios back and do one.
You will walk away with more polished dancing. I can attest to that.
Anytime you can take a class with someone it’s a good idea. I learned a lot of from every workshop I have ever taken. Each instructor has their own way of dancing and doing things, it’s good to get different input on your dancing and learn new variations of things.
Just going through instructor training I learned a lot of new moves – they were basic moves – but I hadn’t seen them before I and I LOVE them.
Karol taught us all how she does her handspring -I can do a handspring – now I can do it much nicer!!!!
So take classes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have used those before and they are great, they do fall off pretty fast though. You might want to add extra adhesive to them like shoe goo or super glue to give them a better hold.

Karol alsohad the mighty grip gloves and let us all try them – those were awesome too!
-
I tried it when Karol was here – I was still slippery with it (I was also wearin like 10 other grip aids) – I am going to buy level 3 personally. Karol uses level 2.
You get a lot of product for your buck too.

How is your flexibility? I am not very good at this move because my back flexibility is not there not to mention leg flexibility. I am not saying that’s your issue but that’s mine with it – it doesn’t look good on me at all.
Aside from that try getting into it from flatline scorpio. I found the closer I could get my torso to my hooked leg the easier it was to extend it.

Yup, I have 2! I have the real me – which does include local polers and polers I do bidness with…but I want the real me to have a space to not get inundated with things – I can get back to people right away about things. It’s just a space for people I actually know in real life with and make real plans with to be able to get in touch with me.
Honestly I spend WAY more time on my pole FB because it’s more fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

What an amazing night!
I want to point out to everyone – check out Veena’s costume – She made that!!!!!!!!!
Triple knees is my favorite pic of the night. I don’t think I have ever seen that one before.

I think its good to take lessons with everyone and not just look at big tricks.
I just got certified through ETED and I learned a ton of great moves that were just basic transitions or spins that were part of the Instructor DVD.
In class the other day we were working on the scissor hold (I love *scissoring* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif ) and I thought hey maybe I can do this as an advanced plank but my legs in the scissor ( https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif ) position.
So what I am saying is anytime there is a special course or workshop check it out. You get something from EVERYONE.
Most workshops let you take notes or pictures. I highly suggest taking anything you can.

I have had a lot of workshops now…so here goes
Wendy Traskos
She was awesome she taught us choreo and it was my first time with choreo and I loved it – she made it simpl and easy to follow. She is a great instructor and spotter! I could do the moves she taught but she taught me how to make them nicer, more dynamic and she taught me to air invert on opposite side. I walked away with a lot but mostly I started to learn how to make up a choreographed routine.Alethea Austing
I don’t care how bendy you are, she has something for everyone. I love her sexy flexy and learned new ways of warming up and learned great stretches for splits and so floor work that I really like. She was very informative but fun. I also did a semi private with her and she is a fantastic teacher. I learned a lot from her.Amber Richard
I took Ambers Polished Pole and I learned a ton there!!!! I learned my new favorite spin which wasn’t super hard (for me) but I had never seen it and I love the way it feels and it’s so fun. I learned about extension and lines and I got great tips on some moves I am STILL working on. From an instructor perspective I walked away with new conditioning exercises that I love. Even though I could do most of the things we covered Amber taught how to make them pop and dynamic. I LOVED her workshopKarol Helms
I just spent all weeked with her and I cannot tell you how many things she taught me! I learned the tornado, thie beautiful get up and invert from the ground, some new floor moves, how to do an entirely no handed drop from cupid – I mean dropping right out of no handed cupid! I got help with some things I am working on splits advice. I learned a ton and had a blast. I LOVED her classes! Well worth the money.So in my experiences they have been awesome. I will copntinue to search out workshops with people.
