Polergirl–she is awesome, thx for sharing!

Wow–Ottersocks, that class sounds amazing! I also have read on SV to practice sequences of a few moves and transitions that become second nature to you. I am such a novice at this too, and I just started experimenting with spin mode and I feel like that is a whole nother world right now! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I think we all have our own styles too. I am more into dance and movement with a few tricks at most, and some rock out badass tricks, etc. Its all good…have fun!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Yay! SO scary!

Congrats!

your best bet (and it sounds like what you are doing) is get a feel for the style of the troupe…are they old style burlesque or do they use newer music/themes as well? Go big with your theme/character, and since they aren't polers keep your tricks simple and playful. Now work on your tassle twirling in CAR! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
Enjoy yourself and love every inch of you–thats my fav thing about Burly girls! Tease Tease Tease and props! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Allegra–I can do it, but it hurts so bad I bail everytime I feel the pole digging into my lower back/ribs. 🙁

@scarlethoney—Veena's Scorpio Handstand lesson is that move you referenced with Alethea's video I think? She shows how to spin out of the handstand. 🙂
I have quite a few to master yet, so I'm good for now! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I would also say don't rush it! Take your time polishing moves as you get them and don't forget to dance with what you've got–so many of my favorite dances aren't the tricked out ones, some are really simple and evocative. If I could go back I would have gotten down dance basics more and really focused on flow. I would have done spin mode, because so much of what is done on spin are simple holds and you gain a lot of strength doing those (as I am just finding out now)…I also would have focused on sretching more. Good luck and enjoy yourself! Also if you don't have Veena's lessons yet, they help me tremendously (the strength routine was huge for me).

yep that is right where mine happens too…on the outside, but I think tight muscles in different parts of the leg can cause this. I need to roll stretch and then if it starts happening, roll some more and hopefully it will help.
I look forward to following this thread and seeing if there are any other suggestions as well.

Are you foam rolling? I also have had a few "shooting pains" in my glute on one side when doing side splits and Veena suggested more foam rolling the leg muscles, specifically the glutes, IT band, and inner thigh I believe.
-
Yeah I miss her too…I always wonder what happened with her? I thought she had an injury/surgery or something??? I could be way off tho.
-
Oh I have multicolored, but they need new batteries! *sigh* Wish I could help! They are SO fun!

lol 🙂

Hi Lyme Lyte! I just wanted to say that it took me FOREVER to get the sm and the first time I did it a cried and was hysterical…really crazy. I honestly didn't think I'd ever do it! The trick for me was doing Veena's strength routine consistantly…AND I got my first aerial invert the same night. Craziness. I am a loyal Veena grip person as well…it just feels more secure and strong. I hope this helps. Stick with the strength routines and put it on the back burner for a few and then try it from the floor. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Holy balls that is one bad ass move! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Awesome!
-
For a future challenge I like the "Disney" theme! I have one in mind–February is always fun to do a Valentines vid though too.
-
I LOVE my TG 45…it is super dry here and I now can grip my pole with no grip aid ever! I have not noticed the gold dye coming off, but Chemmie's explanation is spot on…
Lots of complaints that the new xpole brass is slick. I have felt it and it didn't feel like other brass poles I've used. Best of luck!

*cautious (oops)

I would suggest working on hip holds and jade.Take care of your wrist! Sometimes resting it is really important so you don't hurt it further. (I hurt my shoulder last May and I am just now begining to feel less careful and catious with it)
-
Great! Thank You!
-
Thank you guys! (and thanks for the contact info too Pickle!) I am hoping I can slim down AND get stronger at the same time–so I am aiming to balance cardio with pole. When you are training, do you begin your day with a shake too or just use it after your workout?
-
Great post! Just wanted to share in the pole love vibe going on in here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif you guys! xx

I'd love a Hendrix song for the fast one–like American Woman, Foxy Lady, or something by Joan Jett…some classic pole song. 🙂
-
Oh I can't wait to try the upper body rolling lessons! Thank You!!!
