Wow so many varied results. I love this stuff I only use a bit because too much glues me to the pole lol I say to those it's not working for definitely try other levels as well as different amounts before giving up and try wiping the pole with alcohol before starting but the more I see in class and online, grip aids really depend on the individual and their body chemistry. For example a lot of people love pole physics but it does nothing for me. Itac (level2) as well as rubbing alcohol are the only things that have worked for me so far.

I'm another one all for video – I'm so not a natural dancer and when I used a mirror I needed it all the time to gauge if I was moving well. I stopped using it and use video only to improve. This helps me focus more on how my body should feel when I'm doing something right. Also, like LoneStar said I can see where I'm screwing up and fix it. Video is definitely a HUGE help!

I like hooks thoughts of doing it now and them redoing it later if you want. You might like having a before and an after to compare later to see how far you've come.

Thanks Chem – great progress by the way 🙂

Hi Sasha, thanks for the response. I use that pic as a reference when I do the stretches but this guy(in the white) has the front foot facing forward (which I've read is the correct way to do that stance) but the 6 weeks split instructions say to keep the front foot at a 45 degree angle I'm not sure if that is necessary to get a proper stretch and also which way the foot should point if it is.

I was wondering if someone can let me know something about the karate stance move… In the instructions it says to point your front foot at a 45 degree angle. Does this mean to point the foot inwards or outwards?

Maybe try yoga blocks. Here's an example of how it might help

Aw I know the feeling. Somedays I force myself to practise and it puts me in a better mood and sometimes I am tearfully poling around through the whole thing lol. We just need some time to feel good again just try to stick with it until you start feeling motivated again, even if it's just for 15 minutes to half an hour. I also watch some of my favourite pole dancers on youtube to try and inspire me to get moving. I tell myself I've recovered from a break up before and fallen in love again so I know I can get through this and I know later on I will be better than before even though it feels really painful now. (Hugs)

Here's a youtube clip I found of the supine hamstring stretch using a strap to help 🙂

The beautiful thing about pole dancing for me is that even though it comes more naturally to some people, girls like us (who need to work at it a bit more) can still learn to do what others do at higher levels. It's not something like singing where you have to be born that way. For us its just a matter of time and practise to get there. Sure, we go at a different pace but we can still reach our goals 🙂
