Veena’s suggestion would be step one…but these moves where you hook your leg/knee are very demanding of your hamstring…the strength will eventually come. practice practice practice…it may also be an issue of body placement. I think you should post a vid and we could better help you!:) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I know exactly how you feel..but remember dancing (hip rolls, sways etc) are all "tricks" too! you have to practice them just like you do spins and inverts! With practice comes grace and you will find that before you know it you will be more comfortable with you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site minnie and welcome to the wonderful world of pole! There are so many things to learn that in the beginning it may seem too much! The biggest key is to take it slow and listen to your body. As far as moves…get to know your pole with transitions. Once you get comfortable then you can move on to basic spins like fireman, front hook, back hook…no need to rush! My knees used to creek too…man I’m only 28..that makes me sound old!:) I figure skated for many years and the abuse on my knees from landing and lots of falling made them noisy. As I’ve built up the strength around them, the "noise" has gone away almost completely! I also found that serious stretching (NO COLD STRETCHING…always warm up first!) helps a ton with joint popping! My hip used to pop out of place all the time, it didn’t hurt but it was annoying…since I have re-uped my mission of getting my straddle back, it no longer does it!
oh BTW, If you arent’ taking classes at a stuio (or even if you are) Veena’s lessons have a ton of strength building and beginner moves. She has them posted from beginner to intermediate to advanced so you can always see what to work on next.
The girls (and guys:)) on here are a library full of pole dancing knowledge. Please don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks V! Really when it comes to the instructor training that is mainly for myself…to see other styles. I have thought about the ACE/AFAA certs as well…lots to think about!
Thanks Angel. I actually came across that same training program, but I’m looking for something more on the east coast as I live in SC and travel across the country at the moment is not really an option (small kids, work, school etc.). I do like the fact that the price is much more fitness based verses industry based. I have been getting information on the CLimb and Spin training that is offered by NY Poledancing (Wendy Draskos (sp?) of the USPDF). I do like the idea of a governing body that supports the training…plus the training is part home study and part live study…which NY is a lot closer than CA…ughh

Which shoulder is it? closest to the floor or ceiling…are you keeping your shoulders back and down?? If you don’t, you could quite easily pull/strain the muscles in your neck and back.

Wow Alena! I didn’t realize that there were three different bum slides! I was actually talking about the handstand bum slide…but I would be interested in knowing what the other two are also! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

What business does your sister have telling YOUR son to get off of YOUR pole?? Plenty of boys/men pole and they have just as much right to do it as we do! Try showing her some of Jungle Cats or Joel (poledancefan) vids!

OMG…HAHAHA! I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve joked that someone might think I get beat up due to the bruises on my legs and upper inner arm (damn teddy!). I’ve noticed some "concerning" looks when I’ve worn short sleeve shirts…I just laugh! Oh the joys of pole!!

Okay so I will throw my two cents in here as this is one move that I have recently fell in love with. I usually get into it from a basic invert (pole is on my right side). I then place my right hand slightly below my knees, the left hand then comes below your head to grab the pole. Now I’ve seen this done two ways 1. with arm bent behind your head with hand cupped with your thumb closest to your neck. 2. bottom arm extended fully with hand cupped with fingers pointing more towards the floor. I have found that If I am just doing the reverse aysha (split V)then I used the first grip..but If I am working on doing reverse aysha to twisted grip straight edge split then I use the second. As with most pole moves..I’m not sure if there is technically right or wrong way of doing this. I personally think it’s about preference and what feels secure. Wikipole.org has a picture of both grips under split V or Back Split Marksman. I also think Bexboo on YT has a video of her doing "Karols twisted grip combo" which showes her going into the reverse aysha and then to twisted grip..just to give you a visuall! Hope this wasn’t too confusing!

I think you’ll get plenty of exercise backpacking!! That sounds so exciting! have fun and be safe! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have heard good things about hardcore poles…I was even checking them out because I’m looking for a one pc spinning brass pole.

That was too cute guys!!

Use this as a teaching experience…this is the perfect opportunity to teach her about the fitness aspect and art aspect of pole dancing. It’s about teaching responsibility and what comes with the good and bad side of it. Plus it could be a great bonding experience for you two! I say go for it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Same here! There are a few small spots where some of the popcorn came off..but it’s not noticeable at all!
-
I am too in search of the true answer to this question. I can control going fast or slow…but I would love to know the secret to maintaining the same speed through out…if you watch Felix it’s almost like the pole turns at a consistent speed…how??
