Hi!

Congrats on the new job! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

My accidents:
Once I did the elbow handstand and tried to grab the pole between my legs to get up sitting in the pole. But I got tired in my arms and maybe did not grab tight enough with my legs, so I fell on my head and my head turned sideways. I was a little stuck and could not really drop back with my legs, because I was stuck with my head. Eventually I managed to get back but my neck made a little snapping (krrrk) sound. It did hurt at that time, but in a little while I was ok and went on. But I have the feeling that the "krrrk" sound in my neck is there more often with just normal movements then before the accident with the elbow handstand.
I did not use a crash mat at the time, maybe I should have…

I also think it is very important teach people the best ways of getting out of the pole when they have the feeling things may go wrong. I teared my muscle behind my shoulderblade because I just dropped down my legs after an ivert. So I have to be very careful with getting off of the pole.

Good luck with teaching!

I don’t really suffer from motion sickness, but I know my friend had that while spinning and she is epileptic (a mild form). It could cause the sickness. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif

January 24, 2010 at 9:18 am in reply to: Eczema

I have some skinproblems too. First they thought is was an eczema, but it seems to be a fungus. Eczema comes from your body (like an alergie) and a fungus is caused by a micro organism. I have more problems with it during the winter than during te summer. I have miconazol hydrocortison creme but I do not use that very often as it depigment your skin. I only use it when it is really itchy and inflammed.

I hate the spots on my face! But I found this creme called Vichy Nutrilogy 2 and it really helps me without using the miconazol hydrocoritson. I try to keep my skin moisterised, to keep it from drying out. Never tried the Aloe Vera so I will do that too! Hope that will help!

That’s great! Well, I am sure that if you try it a few times you will get more confident and you will rock the reverse grab on the spinning pole too!! xx

January 12, 2010 at 6:36 am in reply to: Reverse Grab on Spining

Yes I had that problem too, but not anymore. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif A few tips:

– As you are not so confident in this move, try to make the swin not to fast, just to get the right feeling back. When you walk around your pole and then swing, you may go too fast. What you may want to do to practice the folowing first:
your dominant hand on the pole, your body a bit back (like one step) from the pole. your left hand is on your back and turn your hand so that your thumb is pointing down (may feel a bit odd). So you are already prepared to grab your pole, while you are swinging. Then step out with your right leg (your are next to your pole now), then step with left and swing your hips and your right leg in front of the pole to get some speed (while you do this try to grab the pole with the hand on the back) and as you have your hand on your back, ready to grab the pole, you have faster more grip, so you don’t have to hang on your dominant hand too long (not so much time to slip away). When you are more confident you can try it with more speed by walking around the pole.

– keep your pole clean so it not slippery, use a all purpose cleaner and use a cloth to clean your pole
– try some mighty grip on your hands (maybe a little rough or sticky, but that’s ok to increase confidence, you can do without when you are more confident)
– try some tite grip if you have sweaty hands, for me it works ok, but I know a friend of mine uses it all the time.

Hope these tips will help you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Good luck!

Ladystyling is like salsa, but then an extended version of the part for the ladies. So individual without partner. But you can use it while salsa dancing with partner. Haha little difficult to explain! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Sure you can come over when you are in Holland!

January 7, 2010 at 1:07 pm in reply to: Upper back pain

Thanks!
Ah yeah, I know what you mean. Yes I try to slide down after an invert, I try not to flip my body and drop my feet because, indeed, it hurts my back. I always try to get out (off) the pole as smoothly as possible, but sometimes it is difficult, when I have not yet the move under control. So I also need to build my abdominal muscles. Very good to know.

There is one other thing I have some problems with: pain in the forearm / wrist when doing the split hold. I have my left hand low with my thumb down and my right hand (dominant) high. But when I get out of this move, my forearm / wrist hurts. I know some other people from my class have this problem. Anyone a solution to this?

Thanks!
