I also make sure to have a rest day when I practice or stretched a lot. But If I don´t feel sore I sometimes practice two days in a row. 

One of the more popular pole dancers in germany said, that 2 hours per day would be a minimum if you want to be a professional pole dancer and take part in big competitions. That would be too much for my body! 

Does anyone now how much professional pole dancers really practice?

[emotioncatcher]

maybe you could push out from a pike position with the leg like veena did it in her new video? otherwise I also think you would be to close to the pole

I wish we had such a dedicated pole dancer here in Germany. So great what you are doing, I would immediatly join one of your jams if I could!

i found the try where I let my leg slide a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Td1j5mbMHc&feature=youtu.be

I´m sure you can even let it slide out further, I just was not brave enough as it was the first try =)

@sassafrassle: I tried it again yesterday with a split grip and although I grip also quite far apart with my hands I was able to let my leg slide out a bit. I´ll look whether I catched it on video and upload it

[emotioncatcher]

congrats sassafrassle! I hope you´ll nail it on your birthday =)

thanks paulette =)

i thought about teaching like that. But I think that wouldn´t fit to me. The vision of a student having trouble with a move and I can´t spot him/her scares me… 

At the moment I teach at home a few students, normally one-on-one classes. Unless some friends want to get teached together and don´t care about sharing a pole. Since a few days I have two pole, but I only had one before.

I also thought about renting a room in a gym or a student bar near my home which has some big mirrors, too. But I want to get a teacher certification first. 

I already planned everything, so that as soon as I have the money for my certification (and maybe even a third pole) I can start my own little business =)

thanks sunny =) I love teaching, I wish we had a pole studio here where I could teach classes 

[emotioncatcher]

you make it look so easy! I thought about trying it with a true grip, too, but was scared the leg could push my hand off the pole… maybe next time =)

You´re right, it´s more like a pushing motion.

I retried the Marion Amber today with split grip and twisted grip. I would definitly recommend the split grip. The position in the twisted grip is already stresses the wrist, but when your leg pushes again your arm right under your wrist, it´s even worse.

Split Grip is only a little harder to hold, but much safer.

For the Split Grip Marion Amber I also grip directly over my hooked knee. When you now try to push around and it doesn´t work, try to lower your other hand a bit until you´re able to push your bottom up. My upper leg stays in the same position all the time, I only extend the leg while pushing up.

Keep your legs together and slowly extend the other leg. If you fall back while extending your bottom was not pushed up enough

i have only tried it with a twisted grip. for me the main problem was that i always felt back into the pole. For me it helped to grip very close to my upper knee and quite low with the other hand.

congrats cupcake =) it´s always so great to here that one of my tutorials could help someone!  that´s the best thing about teaching no matter whether personal or through tutorials.

I totally understand how annoying your experiences were. A teacher should always care about the health of her students. If a student would get injured in one of my classes it would be my fault and I would feel responsible (except if a student didn´t follow my instructions) and so shoulde every teacher feel in my opinion.

If your teacher is not experienced enough to handle your special elbows, he should be honest and let you know. This would be better than giving you unclear instrucitons.

It sometimes can be good to gross out people 😉 as long as it doesn´t injure you. But I think it´s good that your try to position your arms normal, so you´re on the safe side
