Don’t press the pole in your privates, your up too high, give yourself a wedgie for some skin grip and press the pole on your tailbone and engage those abs for added stability and go for it.

I’m sorry that you have high triglyceride’s, but your Dr.’s office is doing their job because accutane reacts with the liver to raise cholesterol. How’s your LDL versus HDL levels? Trigylceride’s are formed in the liver when you eat more food than your body needs. Google the "DASH" diet. This diet is for the obese to quickly reduce high blood pressure, and is also perfect for those with fatty liver disease. ( I lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks on this menu) but you will have a fantastic reduction in your cholesterol. Eat complex carbs. No processed food! Eat oatmeal with no sugar for breakfast, and have salads at lunch and dinner. It’s no necessary to count calories while you eat veg. If you want to eat fruit, or root vegetables such as potatoes or beets for example, you need to eat these with a grain because the grain will slow the body’s absorption of the fruit/root vegetable. The menu won’t be boring, and it has so many alternatives for you. Good luck!

Sascha, when I read your post I was surprised (to say the least) that some of your family members have judged (even condemned?) you for your interests. Most people that are judgemental over these issues don’t have any important and esteeming hobbies of their own, and so the behavior puts them in the position to be "better than" other people…..why? they find other people who don’t think and act like them threatening because they don’t have that control that makes them feel comfortable. I personally think that the male species is more excepting of pole dance, because the guys are just happy to be around a confident and low maintenance female, unless they are the insecure control freaks that need to keep a concubine under their control. I don’t share my pole adventures with anyone besides other people that are interested in poling, or someone who I feel is trustworthy, because people can be so negative. Keep in mind a lot of women find pole dancers (and even someone younger and prettier) very threatening because the husbands or boyfriends might show some interest in someone else (heaven forbid!!), and some women just recent the fact that someone else is doing something that makes them feel good about themselves. Life is so much more easier when we aren’t dependent on other peoples opinions on how we should live. (btw, I’m not implying that you or anyone else is investing your value by what others think…..but I do think your a fun good person!!)

Angelx33, you commented on how you "need to hide" pole dancing from your brother and father……..more than likely they don’t want to view you as a attractive sexual being because it would make them feel weird. A good reason why girls who work in clubs aren’t extremely great at the pole is because they’re new at it, we all need to start somewhere, and if they could do better at their dancing they probably would. Even floor work requires an effort otherwise we’ll tear our knees up.

Hi Veena, sorry to see that someone posted those comments to you…..did you take a moment to check out this persons youtube information? (I’m sure you have better things to do instead of invest any thought or interest in these people anyways) Well I was curious and looked……..I think the account information speaks for itself. Take care, enjoy your life and what you do!!

For those of you ladies that like to wax, I’m going to mention there are epilators out there that do a great job. (Its a hand held shaver-like machine that has around 40 rotating tweezer like things.) I will not go back to shaving my legs, or the bikini area ever again,this device can pull the hair when it just surfaces, for example 1mm, so you wouldn’t have to wait a couple weeks, and it usually works on flatter skin surfaces so you’ll still need to wax the super hard to reach areas.

I think everyone can relate to how frustrating it can be to advance on the pole, and I don’t think that quiting your pole is a resolution to the problem. I’m going to pull a Dr. Phil here, so brace yourself………if the negative comments are interfering with your quality of life it would be a good idea to fine tune internal and external boundaries. Obviously these people who play nasty don’t have any external boundaries and are entirely self motivated because they verbally abuse other people, (and lets also take into account they’re hiding behind their computer too.) This is from personal experience……don’t let other peoples judgements of you control your mood, the negative energy will prevent you from having enrichment, and will deplete physical energy (while you can be poling for example.) It takes time, but set some limits for yourself regarding what you will let effect you. I felt sad reading your post, but life gets better and I hope you’ll get out of the slump. Some people never mature and they behave like a 13 year old bully and their 45 years old, so please keep in mind the negative comments aren’t really about you, they’re about the other person.

Can you do full splits on the floor, and a hip hold? once you get these you can do a jade split, it takes time to prep the skin that grips the pole, but these two requisites are what I’ve used. Once you get the hip hold you’ll need to increase the grip on the pole to stay balanced when you bring your leg horizontal.

You’ll do just fine. Go get em tiger!! Just have fun and be yourself around him, then you can get to know his personality a little better and see if you two click. Is it possible that Pete told your instructor that he thought you were cute and that’s the reason for the fireman costume and volunteering him again?

Hi Taylor, I’ve battled with thunder thighs for awhile,(my legs were BIG from my pregnancy) and I do plie squats with weights, move to hamstring curls, and do lunges last, combined with cardio of your choice. The upper body workout we get from our beloved pole definitely helps with balancing out the pear shape we can get. If you engage those glute muscles during a squat and a lunge you’ll really target the muscle.

What I think is you’re going to run into behavior you won’t like in people for the rest of your life, and you should take other peoples’ B.S. like a grain of salt. It sounds like this girl is just trying to act the all knowing alpha female who is "better than"…a lot of people need to justify how wonderful they are by bashing others.

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Oh phooey! Your video is great…..(I’m sending you telepathic cheers to go w/ your video) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif ….by the way, I think we all can be our worst critic at times, your video is fun, keep up the good work!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif Hello everyone, for those of you that are interested in a viewing a variation on the leg styling while you’re up in the shoulder mount, here’s a link to view it…..the move starts at 9 minutes. I would suggest that you wait until the buffering bar on the video is completed, and then fast forward the current play position to 9 minutes, because the show is pretty bad….but the pole work in the end is good.

For those of you who do like the shoulder mount w/the leg styling, a good tip for accomplishing this one is to really get your legs and hips up high and close to the pole, so your body weight or center of gravity is more controlled, and then you can get those legs and hips to switch from side to side. I do this one from a floor shoulder mount due to a space/ceiling issue. I hope you all enjoy the pole moves in this vid!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif Testing out the princess grip was great advice, I tried it doing a shoulder dismount from upside down, and I felt more confident and in control of the release. Thank you much!

Hello, if you feel comfortable with your grip on the pole in the caterpillar, maybe keeping your hips close to the pole, and trying to extend one leg out while the other is still around the pole might give you a feel for it, hopefully that will help you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hello everyone, nice topic, and its interesting to read about everyone’s favorites! Theres too many possibilities as far as combos that I like, so I’m really undecided….I love the combo in this video at 2:50 (superman w/ undulations, leading to starfish, flatline, and exiting with inverted V legs. It’s a tough one! I’m still working on a sexy undulation and that transition from the flatline to V legs. I LOVE IT!!!

Athletic stores carry grip enhancing products that you can spray on your hands that can temporarily help with the sweat, a little bit goes a long way and too much will clump on your pole. Its the same stuff for keeping a good grip on a tennis racket, or a football for example, or for keeping hands dry in gloves. Very important to keep your pole squeaky clean to achieve best results with these products. Good luck!

You look great, your new video has great attitude that really captivates the audience. Everyone else looks great too, keep up the good work.

If you ladies can do inverts on other moves then you’ll get the chopper soon enough, I would suggest that when you’re in invert position open your legs in a V and engage that core area for balance, it gets easier every day, its just baby steps.

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Congratulations ladies! I’m on cloud 9 too, I’ve finally have a solid knee hold, but still not quite confident clasp my arms over my head to add some drama, and thanks to Veena’s advice on the jade split, I have a confident grip to stay balanced (definitely need to work on that flexibility in that right calf) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

If you want to find some shoes, Amazon has a good selection, free shipping and returns depends on the seller. "Pleaser" is a good brand that can take a lot of abuse.
If you have trouble finding a local pole dance studio or a support group online, what about a trusted friend to be your cheerleader? Someone your comfortable around who won’t judge, get jealous, and help you through the bloopers?
My hubby has been great for constructive criticism, and has helped spot me, and has been patient watching the youtube videos, (even when I know he’s not interested). I think its very important for you to be comfortable with this "pole partner" because sometimes we overestimate our physical abilities when we feel pressure to succeed…just my opinion though.
