Hanka here 😆 I am really happy you will come to see me and I wish I could also help you out on Saturday too…. However there are good studios in Amsterdam. ..I would also recommend rasa lila or pole dance factory in Amsterdam. In Utrecht you will find studio aeris, in Enschede there is studio Nienke and in Arnhem there is studio suus. Does that help?
-
Yep…There is a good studio in Enschede called studio Nienke. ..try to Google for it

Hi, Netherlands replying here…of course we have polestudio's in Amsterdam! I would recommend http://www.rasa-lila.nl/website/ They just opened a new nice studio and their program is yoga-based and very "zen". Another good one would be http://www.sportiefpaaldansen.nl/ They have a nice studio at the Waterlooplein (also famous for shopping) They do teach 2h classes, always mixed level. Remember that the Netherland is a supersmall country….the trains will take you everywhere…Alkmaar is only 30 minutes…you are also welcome in my hometown Nijmegen (90 minutes by train). Let me know if you have any questions!

i'm from the Netherlands….if you are visiting Amsterdam I can recomment http://www.rasa-lila.nl …it's the best studio in Amsterdam based on yoga-roots…

Hi and welcome to the poleworld…I'm not from Belgium, but from the Netherlands..which for most of the US people can be considered as almost the same country 😉
As far as I know poledance in Belgium is not that big yet… you have Sarahcademy in Brussels (www.sarahcademy.be), paaldans.be in Turnhout and Antwerpen, and PoleGym (http://polegym.be/) in oa Brugge… of course you could also travel to the Netherlands…there are some studio's close to the border…

I seriously find this move easier to do on the pole than on the floor. Use a crashmat and don't go to high at your first attempt. It is important to have your lower foot on the pole and you try to push it on the pole instead of downwards. When you straighten your arms and lean away from the pole it becomes even easier to push that foot on the pole.

There are so many tricks you can do to get in and out of the superman. I don't think I've seen this one before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c05iIVAaNDc at 3.00

Any chance we can see this online?
-
I'll be there! Did not go there last year but heard some great stories!

Here another former gymnast. And I agree…you should never forget the basics. You will learn very fast, but doiing the basics first will help you and make you understand the more difficult moves.
-
Everything said about practice is true…but there is one little trick that might help too…
Don’t look at your pole while spinning on it. Your brain will be confused because the pole looks like static and everything else is moving. Instead, focus on a static object in the room so your brain knows that you are the one that is moving.
Just try it..it might help… -
Do you have a place to train pole, silks and hoop?? Wow…soo jealous!
-
Ah…I’m from Nijmegen and usually train alone, but I teach at the university sport centre. Welcome to the board!
-
Welcome to all the Dutchies :-p Are you planning to return to the netherlands soon?
-
Hi there and welcome! Where in the Netherlands do you live? And are you training at a school or alone?

Yay, already 3 polers https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif And will you be competing or joining one of the workshops?
-
I’m thinking of going too, but can only make it in the third week. Are you going alone Angel? I will and hope to make some friends over there…
-
Wow, I’m feeling lucky! My boss is sending me out to work in Philadelphia for one month, and I’m looking for a place to train. is it possible to train for one month in your studio? I’d love to join this workshop too. How do I register? And where in Philadelphia are you located?
Sorry for all the questions…I just found out that’ll be going to the US. -

It’s much easier on a static pole. Choose an easy spin, start doing the spin with both hands, try to shift your weight to one hand and, when you feel comfortable, take the other hand off…
