You're gut feeling is telling you to be wary of this situation and deep down, no matter what our heads are telling us at the time, gut feelings never fail us

If they are running a professional business, forgetting to pass important info on such as a this is absolutely no excuse. I run my own business and I can tell you now that you can spot people who are inefficient and not serious a mile away…. and it seems like thats what you've done. They should have told you in the first place, end of story. The fact that they didn't suggests that they don't know what they're doing. I can appreciate that people start these things if with little experience, everyone has to start somewhere, but forgetting such a simple thing? It's not a difficult task. For a start, they haven't exactly promoted their business very well… they've even put potential employee's off!

 

If their being this inefficient before you've even started working for them, what are they going to be like when it comes to payday? Or having days off?

I would let this one go and consider it an experience to learn from. If it's something you really want to do, write to every different pole school nearby that you can and ask if they are in need of an instructor. Sometimes you need to go looking for jobs as they don't always come looking for you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Let us know what you decide https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

dont forget that in that video she's also wearing 7" inch heels!

[HannahElizabeth]

thanks for sharing, I'm definitely going to try this. My grip is always better in winter cos obviously it's colder so this is gonna be a great thing to try in time for summer sweatiness haha

 

Thanks  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

yea apprentice is the same positioning as cradle but with the apprentice you're not spinning, maybe I will try it from cradle… might be easier with a bit of momentum?? 

 

I looove my split grips so love doing any moves with it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

congrats https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif took me a while to get the pole sit properly so sounds like your progressing fast

 

Dont feel silly about sharing your achievements, people here are always really supportive and like know, we've all been through the same so everyone can relate 😀

[HannahElizabeth]

I really like Sarahs combos and I'm just drooling over her shoulder mount and TG lifts! lol Heres another vid of hers which hows the SM and TG really really: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQDJiqJN9GY&feature=related

 

I think she sometimes looks really bored though 🙁 Maybe it's too easy for her  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

yeaa i was so close to getting my feet off with the inverted D!  

I'm working on getting into the butterfly/extended butterfly from the apprentice…. so hard but I've nearly done it so will be jumping to joy when I can do it properly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

 

I personally find the inverted D easier then the extended butterfly so if you can do the EB hopefully you wont find the inverted D too hard 🙂 good luck

 

[HannahElizabeth]

ooh ok thanks for the tip 😀 

Can you do split grip aysha? I really want to get my split grip, I find elbow and forearm grips really hard  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

 

Hopefully I'l be able to get the elbow grip now I know to be a bit off centre https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

yey! nice one Shellectra, that look coool! I must try this tonight, I want my aysha so much!

[HannahElizabeth]

Tarah, I had a few problems in that I was getting my arm stuck too. I found that when inverting, try to make sure you pull up as much as possible so you can get your leg wrapped as high as you can. That way there is room for your leg to slide down a little nearer your hand without restricting your movement

[HannahElizabeth]

thanks for posting and answering this thread. I have real trouble with the caterpillar too and am thinking that perhaps it's cos I'm too centered too. I'm gonna try it tonight

Thanks ladies  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

thanks girls!

I do like the look of the advanced cupid but if theres a risk of putting too much strain on my knees I don't think I'll do it as my knees are weak as it is 🙁

I've also tried not holding on but found I didn't have enough grip with my leg which was why I though maybe its too low.

I will try and though and persevere! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[HannahElizabeth]

EDIT:

 

that was also meant to say – is the leg thats round the pole pointing down too much? Or is that the right position?

 

(ahh Veena where's the edit button gone? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

 

Thanks peeps!

[HannahElizabeth]

I've seen it called dangerous brian in quite a few different places. Perhaps either everyone has copied the same source that misspelt it… or it's just a silly name https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

 

 

[HannahElizabeth]

I wish I could do the splits 🙁 I'm working on it though so hopefully soon i'll be able to do down splits from cupid!

[HannahElizabeth]

yes I can butterfly 🙂 

I'll try these out, thanks ladies

Evarut – that sounds like a challenge, I havent done the move Marley yet but I'll definitely give the rest of it a go!

[HannahElizabeth]

I followed a yoga stretching video that is very similar to the one Svarri has recommended. It was very intense and I did feel so much more flexy afterwards. It does work wonders!

[HannahElizabeth]

Yea it doesnt have pics of each move which is a bit annoying! Just thought it was quite useful for the timings of how long to hold each stretch. Are you going to the Becca Butcher class on thurs with Pjnk ladies? Sure I saw your name on the facebook page? x

[HannahElizabeth]

I love Marlos pole work. Hope she comes to the UK. Think she is so underrated… go Marlo!

[HannahElizabeth]

that happens to me a bit too. Not my whole leg, just the knees for me. Im hoping it will stop lol

[HannahElizabeth]

I bet I know which instructor on YT your talking about!!

If it is the same one, as you said her floor work and beginner spins look really nice. By flinging herself up, she makes inverting look so much harder needs to be. It wasnt until after I could invert did I see her basic invert tutorial and think…. Ok, that surely is not how you should be teaching people?! I'm not a teacher but you get a bad feeling sometimes don't you..

She flung herself up with such force I could almost feel her shoulder muscles screaming out and tearing at the force. It literally made me cringe. It was so badly done and I was shocked that she was a teacher after that.

As you girls have said, so many people have jumped on the bandwagon because pole dancing is becoming the new cool thing to do. As with anything, as soon as it gets mainstream people start to ruin it 🙁 As long as we stay strong and do it properly then there is still hope! 😀

[HannahElizabeth]

love that! What a cool idea 😀
