I am actually a former dancer turned instructor and it’s always interesting to me people’s reaction when they know that. For the most part it’s always excited my students to hear it, they feel like their learning from someone who really knows their stuff. However, when I taught Latin, Belly Dance and Hip Hop before I ever started teaching pole I always kept it quite because I was working in a "normal" studio and it’s not considering a legit form of dance….or it wasn’t at the time. My only problem now is people assume I don’t have a background other than having been a former stripper when in realty I’ve been a dancer since I could walk! We’re in a weird place in this community because it’s still growing and this country is so darned prude ugh!!! I think as time goes on people will assume less that when you say your a pole dancer that means your a stripper. I have no problem with stripping and have taught dancers, dancing nude or semi nude can be so empowering and I always felt so in touch with my body when I was on stage. What I have a problem with and always have is everything else that goes along with it; i.e. men thinking your an object they can treat however they can, the drug abuse you see girls doing and even prostitution (happens in big clubs too believe me). For me that’s why I stopped….I couldn’t take watching that crap go on around me anymore. Take that out of it and there’s not a darn thing wrong with a woman dancing with minimal to no clothing on and owning her body and sexuality. The real problem is people are still very threatened by that which is so sad.

Hey there,
So first off let me say I feel your pain : ) Veena’s right you should try from a standing position with your Teddy first so you understand how to use your side (aka ribs) and hip/side of the butt to help with this move. "Pit Holds" are kinda my signature things to do and all I can say is it’s gonna take some time. Having a lower body fat is gonna make it a little harder but it’s doable. Just make sure with the Teddy your rib cage is right up next to the pole and that you get the side of your hip/butt in front of it…it’ll help distribute some of the weight better. With the Yogini (my fav move and gave me bruises for a couple monthes) again get that rib cage on the pole and for me I find that the more I arch my back and pull the leg/foot up the better locked I am. That one is way easier from a climb. I do both on static/spinning and a trick to get used to doing a Teddy on the spinning is to do it from standing and push off into it a little….looks cool but has the bonus of if you get dizzy your feet are close to the floor. Good luck and keep pushing through the pain! -
I got my piggie bank out and ready to be filled…I need some fun AND a vacation!
-
God I wouls love to come to this…never get to hang with fellow polers and it sounds sooo fun! Hoping finances pick up and I can make it out, positive thoughts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif

LMAO, me and my advanced students said the same thing. We said there should be a female jock strap and pads for the sides of your boobs since we all know certain moves just hit em the wrong way https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Yeah I noticed that too : ( Here’s a vid I just did for you using the shooting star into the scorpio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mLF1-cRXtQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It’s basically the same concept cause you really just have to let the upper body drop and get the inside arm hooked around the pole. Good luck girlfriend https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
