cough.but am i the only one who wondered what would happen if that little one farted or something? you all know what im talking about.cough.
No, Sascha, you’re not the only one… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I’d be soooo paranoid over something like that, or B.O., etc etc if I were double poling with someone, let alone anything that… um, "intimate"

I think it would be do-able as long as you didn’t do any major tricks because you’ll be too out of breath to sing. I love to sing too and thought that would be great, but I have a hard time singing along to the music I’m practicing to, and that’s not as if I were performing. But when you’re a beginner you’ll be more out of breath because it’s harder for you, so maybe when you can do several moves comfortably you could sing along. It’s worth a shot, I’d love to see it done! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

If it’s unscrewing then something’s wrong… when it’s up correctly it won’t unscrew. First check and make sure you’re fully in static mode, and then maybe you should take it down and put it back up again…
Double check all the joints before you do the final tightening in the adjuster screw. Screw it all together by hand, put the dome up and all and just as the dome starts touching the ceiling (enough that the base won’t spin on the floor) go back through with one of the rods and do a final turn on each of the joints. Then go back up and tighten the adjuster screw all the way. It shouldn’t loosen itself…
Good luck!

I think Veena has some lessons on building upper body strength, but I’m broke and can’t get the lessons so I’m not 100% sure….
The spins actually do help quite a bit with building strength, so keep up on those. Also try doing things like pulling yourself up into a pole sit from dead weight – don’t jump or climb into it. I also pull myself up and bring my legs up into the V position at the same time so I get the abs and thighs going, too. With inverts, your grip is a better friend you to than strength for now. It’s one thing to pull yourself up into an invert, but another when you can’t hold on! The spins will help with grip, too. When I started, when I did a spin my ears were nearly touching my arms because I couldn’t hold my body up nicely, although the form for my spins wasn’t bad. Now I can spin much more confidently.
That’s all I can think of… I’m sure some of the more veteran girls will be able to give you better pointers. Just keep at it!
P.S. make sure you switch up which side of the body you’re working on, too. Do spins from both left and right and inverts left and right. I can spin both directions but am regretting not working on inverting lefty… it’s important to make both sides strong!

I felt like a moron because I had to Wikipole this one to figure out what you were talking about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif So it’s basically the same as the gemini but that one leg is going the other direction, right???
Maybe one thing you could try is before you get into the inverted crucifix, just practice hanging there in the invert and getting your legs straightened out. Get the muscle memory there first, then let go with your hands. Then after you can do it without thinking about it so much try it from the crucifix. I know your form won’t quite be right with holding on while you get the feet right first, but it’ll be easier to see what you’re doing.
Good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Like the other girls said, you’ll get used to it. I used to be in soooo much pain from doing a pole sit and now it doesn’t even bother me; which is great because now I can concentrate on working up the ab strength to sit up without holding on or hooking my bottom foot! Just keep at it and your skin will get used to the feeling.

Wow there were some pretty impressive moves in there! I liked the plank – death lay combo at 3:40. I couldn’t imagine supporting someone else’s weight on the pole… but that one girl looked buff enough to handle it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

I think pole dancing can be so beautiful….like…ballet on a stick!
Hehe is that anything like Jose Jalapeno on a stick???

OMG Aliira I’m so sorry… my best friend who was pregnant just miscarried this past month, too… I hope this doesn’t get you down! I’m sure things will work out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

OMG Jungle I’m about ready to cry after reading that post cuz it’s so sweet (although "sweet" isn’t really the word… I can’t think of a better one right now). I had no idea I’d get this kind of reaction out of that video (although I’m sure Jungle is the only one reacting that strongly! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif ) thank you…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

… and 3 days later I just randomly tried switching between the two in the middle of taping my April Challenge and did it with no problems whatsoever! That was a move that made my jaw drop when I first starting "researching" pole dancing on YouTube when I started a little over a month ago, and here I am merely weeks later and I can already do it!!! I’m so happy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
