Make sure if you are doing anything requiring electrical you know exactly what you are doing or have someone you know do it that is familiar with wiring. I wouldn’t attempt removing a ceiling fan on my own because I don’t know much about the electrical aspect. To be on the safe side- Always turn your breakers off and treat the wires as if they are hot at all times- EVEN if they do not have power going to them. Good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

It looks like Veena has a Pole Turns tutorial in her lessons archive. I also searched on youtube "pirouettes, pole turns" and found a really good video by DivineMovement in which she did for her own sister. I took a class as well and that is where the hand placement really clicked for me. I did my own little tutorial for my bestfriend back when I was taking classes but I will have to search through my own video archive to see if I still have it or if I deleted them. I remember I got really into it with the hand movement and the camera. LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

My September challenge/1 year anniversary video. It was super hot and slippery but I managed to get enough to edit for a full song. Hoping my next videos will be better. Don’t mind the purses- I was trying to theme my pole room to the song with purses and shoes. LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

You had to stand on a stool for yours? Wierd, I never did. I just kept it at the proper length and stuck it up standing on the ground.
I twist the top piece down so I have enough to slide it away from the ceiling mount. I have carpet too which makes it hard to slide right out of place. Plus I’m probably a clutz and would bang everything around trying to make a smooth transition if I didn’t give myself more than enough room. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Do you have a video you’ve posted or can post? That way everyone will be able to offer their constructive critisism. Thanks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Thank you so much for the wikipole.org link! I have been looking through this all night at work and putting together my goal moves for the next several months! Not to mention how much this site is going to help me in my latest art project- a scrapbook of my own progress. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I am just curious how everyone structures their workouts with the pole. Do you just go for it and dance around and try all the stuff you know? Or have any of you set up an actual work out plan with the pole? I’m finding out I am having a tough time figuring out how to structure it! Thanks~ Mindy
I actually have a mirror set up in front of my pole with a dry erase marker that I will use to write down all the moves in sequence of executing or just simply the moves I want to work on for that day. Helps keep me organized in my workouts as I have become easily distracted when I begin to think about other moves I want to try. LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

When I first started I remember the skin on my inner thighs would burn. I would keep ice packs handy and apply them to the area immediately after I was burned. That seemed to help a lot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Flip cam? Is this something that can be purchased for my laptop?? LOL. I AM in the market for a better camera…can you tell? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Thanks!

Some men are a little jealous that they’re women are posting videos up of themselves dancing around what is considered a very sexy and sometimes they feel a personal experience that should be for "their eyes only." I think the perception of the pole fitness isn’t clearly understood in their minds. I think a cute idea to make them feel more "at ease" and a part of your progress is you could create a youtube account for your videos in which you keep private and from posting publicly. Then allow them access to the account so they can have their own "private viewing." Remind them you’re doing this as a workout- which is much the same as going to the gym. I very much doubt the fact that they would want to watch you at the gym working out on the treadmill but then again who knows and it actually could be something they would enjoy as well. LOL. I’ve only done a few tricks once in front of my boyfriend and we’ve been together since January. He’s seen all my videos and I remember feeling embarrassed while showing him them. I have promised him a live show time and time again- especially now that I’m getting back into poling. So we’ll see. That was just my suggestion! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I LOVE visiting North Carolina. We have a beach house on Topsail Island we go to yearly. I love it! I would love more than anything to relocate to Wilmington area so I can be closer to the ocean but I just bought my house in Indianapolis and a future relocation will just have to wait. So for right now we just come to visit. Welcome to the the site!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
