this depend of course on what tricks you already can do. but my suggestions in additon to psychoholicslag´s ideas would be:
forearm grip and lower into a westerflag (needs a lot of strenght)
if your foot is hooked very safe you can go into a dangerous brian and all the tricks you can do out of this one (dangerous d, archer, bow and arrow,…)
from the bow and arrow you could just get down on the floor or from the other tricks sit up

there was another veener who had troubles with his pole climb, i´m sure you can already find a lot of great tipps at her thread: https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/Pole_climb_help_20111120071112
it sounds a bit like your skin is very sensitive. everyone has some pain when starting to climb and sit on the pole and has to get used to it, but to me it seems your pain might be worse. maybe you just can´t get a good grip because the pain avoids that you grip tight enough (with the feet and legs). if this is the reason i would just give your skin more time to adapt and be careful that you don´t overstress it.

so much fun to read all the stories.
i made my nickname when i started to photograph. it´s very simple how i came to that name: I wanted to "catch" emotions with my photos, so i called myself emotioncatcher on different websites where i uploaded my photos.
since then i started using it on all websites, also here and on youtube. but i think it also fits very good to a pole dancer, because emotions are also very important to me for a good and impressive dance. =)

there are so many great songs, you should have a look at amy´s block
she always posts a lot of great pole dance songs!
-
congrats on your new moves, although i don´t know all the names. i never had those problems with my superman, maybe you can try to keep a little more distance between your butt and the pole. otherwise as always a video of you doing this trick is most helpful to give you better tipps.
i´ve never competed, because i never felt ready for it. but we only have miss pole dance germany and miss polefitness germany here, two big competition. maybe i would have entered a smaller competition. if you want to take part in a competition i see no reason why you shouldn´t. in one year you can learn still a lot and have a lot of time to prepare for your first comp. also if you won´t be very successful in it, you still will learn a lot for your next competitions and i´m sure you´ll have a lot of fun.
if you want to learn new stuff i would maybe try to combine some of the tricks you already can do.
do you want to chose your song for the competition already now or do you just ask for a good pole dance song in general?
-
i hope you´ll do a new one veena, your chair work is always so great to watch =) but you could still post your old links to give us an inspiration! 😉

hey poledollqld,
i´ve never been to dortmund, but i found this studio: http://www.poledance-dortmund.de/
but i´m not sure if they have open classe and the structured classes seem to be more for beginners. but maybe you can ask them if you can sometimes practice there on your own.
-
i already knew the first video, but the second is even more impressive!
both pole look thin. my next pole will be definitly a 45mm =)
-
as kobajo said i would already ask him which style he prefers. most men might prefer those strong male tricks, but we all know that there are also a few who do bodywaved and sexy split tricks.
if he´s more the typical male type, i would make sure to chose tricks which won´t look too female. but i would still let him go through the basics, because it´s not only strenght which makes a good pole dancer, it´s also a lot of technic and practice
-
you should watch blondebird´s videos. i saw her doing it without kicking. she even started in the air and not on the ground.
i´m not sure, but i think veena did this also once? of course also in a more controlled way than shown in this video.
in a controlled way i think it looks really pretty, in this video it looks quite dangerous. i think this is only a trick for really really really advanced and experienced pole dancers with a lot of strenght
-
i saw miss dirdybirdy doing one handed spins on a spinning pole. she just "hangs" on the pole with one hand while the pole continues to spin. it looks so beautiful.
i would love to be able to do that, too, but it´s so hard on my 50mm pole.
@brumby: thanks. i don´t know which video you found. some days ago someone thought my phoenix was on a spinning pole (like veena said, sometimes it´s hard to see if it´s a spinning or static pole). i only can do a twisted grip lift in spinning mode
-
i think you have to upload you´re photo somewhere. i use imageshack.us
-
i sometimes do a variation between the scorpio and gemini. i start in one of them an bring my belly to the front of the pole. like this i´m right in the middle of both.
i first tried it like this because i felt like i had better grip in this position =)
-
thanks for the tipp. they even have a germany site, so shipping will be cheap =)
and they have so many other nice stuff, love the bag and also the posters in your shop!
-
love all that beautiful stuff, especially the personalized charm. also very cute, that you´re husband wears pole shirts! my boyfriended always wanted one with a silouette of me on the pole and the text "My girlsfriend is a Pole Dancer". Maybe this will be his Christmas present =)
-
hey spunkeh.
i saw a photo of a split grip aysha on your profile. maybe practice to lower your body slowly from there to get some more strenght, then you won´t need more momentum.
furthermore for me the cartwheel was a lot easier to learn than the handspring. maybe it´s the same for you?
you can also ask someone if experience to help you by holding your hips.
good luck

that´s so great paulette! aerial silk is a lot of fun and a great workout =) i had my first class last week and will have this evening my next one. the day after my first class my hands and forearms even hurt a bit. since all the time i pole i never had sore muscles, so i´m sure this will help me to improve also my pole dancing
-
how funny, i have the same chairs on my balcony =) i got them from my uncle when he moved into a new apartment. maybe i´ll use one of those for the challenge instead of my wooden chair
-
@jayjay: love the idea of you doing some chair work in ikea =)
-
i used a wooden chair for my firsts trys on chairwork and really liked it. it´s very stable and still not too heavy.
in this video they use wooden chairs, too and they spin it, do elbow stand and a lot of great stuff on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvjxbup4c-g
i like the vertical parts on the back of the chairs (no idea what you call them) the dancers in the video have. for shoulder stands for example you can hold yourself on the back.
the upper part of the back should be straight and not round like in the video (but of course with round edges) so you can balance on it.
maybe it would be nice to have a chair with silicone on the feet (maybe removable), so it would be extra safe for practicing new and dangerous tricks (just like handstand on a chair)
-
tried your spinning sm yesterday and wanted to tell you i loooove it. it´s so much fun, i posted a new video i which i do it (i think close to the end), if you wanat to see it =)
today i´ll maybe try it on spinning mode
-
i already did some chair work in a video for the last challenge and had so much fun to try something new, i´ll definitly make a video for this challenge, too.
i used a wooden chair (didn´t buy it for dancing, it´s just the one i´m sitting on while studying or eating^^) and it was pretty good for all the different moves i tried.
-
thanks for the link! what an amazing performance, it´s crazy what tricks she does on the chair and the flip at the end…woooow
-
i haven´t seen this performance yet, but i´ll definitly try to find it on youtube now! =)
