Have you tried ? It makes your skin moist and slides easier without losing grip.
I have the same problem with my inner thighs and sometimes knee pits on my titanium gold pole so I know how you feel.

I’m really looking into it, can I do a casual class at Bobbi’s?
-
I agree all about barefoot dancing! With me though, I feel like I can’t point my toes in my heels and I don’t know why that is!
Definitely, I would love to! Are you able to do a casual class at your studio? I don’t know if I would be in the same level as you as I haven’t been poling very long but id love to try it out!
-
I’ve actually looked them up and really want to try a lyrical class! Do you currently do the lyrical classes? If so, how do you find them? I actually like dancing in bare feet too, well I wear ballet slippers but it’s the same feeling! I only wear heels for our routines because my legs look nicer haha
-
Thanks so much for your in depth response lovely!! I think it is definitely Bobbi’s that I’m going to have to try out next! I love dirdy birdy she is absolutely amazing!! And I love Scarlett’s videos too, breath taking dancing!
I’m fairly new to pole too, only been doing it for 4 months but I feel like I was born to do it or something. I’m obsessed and think about it all the time, always working on new things and I feel like the place I’m at isn’t the perfect place for me to be
-
Thanks so much KungFuPuddyTat! I might look in to getting some!
-
I really want to buy from DB too and I live on Australia so the shipping charges won’t be a problem for me! I’m just worried about the scrunch tie shorts strings getting in the way while poling… Has anyone experienced this?

I buy all my crops from Cotton on body and Lulu Lemon
-
I am also aiming to start learning this so thank you for all your tips!
-
I pole 6 days a week for around 2 plus hours each time so I am sore towards the end of the week. I take BCAA supplements which helps me quite a lot. I also bruise quite a lot.
-
Middle splits, fonji, iron x. I also want to get my twisted grip hand spring but I’m hoping that’s before the end of the year
-
Thanks so much Danielle I will definitely give all these a try! Hopefully my ankle weights aren’t too heavy haha!

I’ve been using Dri Chlor for about 4 or 5 years and never had a problem with it staining anything at all. It absorbs into your skin so I don’t think it would stain the pole? Either way I don’t have a choice, I’ve tried Botox and other methods of controlling my hyperhydrosis and they didn’t work.
-
I have a medical problem of excessively sweaty hands and feet so I use Dri Chlor on them which is extra strength deodorant. Stops my hands and feet sweating altogether! I’ve suggested it to a few people and it’s worked for them too.

Robinb I haven’t been poling long, only 3 and a half months, but when I first started I couldn’t pole more than once or twice a week otherwise I was just wasting my time because my body was so sore all the time and u would get frustrated and not be able to do tricks. A few months on now I pole 5 or 6 days a week but often try to focus on different moves each day as otherwise my body gets too sore! For example, on Mondays if I focus on a lot of upper body strength moves like the ayesha and extended butterfly then on Tuesday ill put these aside and work on things like spins and cross ankle releases etc. Clearly it’s not that you can’t do it, your body is just tired!!!
This is just some tips and experience from what I’ve encountered from my own, just my opinions!
-
I submitted my first challenge video for this! It’s also my first freestyle video too, very messy!!
-
The exact same thing has happened to me… My dad says it’s okay it’s just that the ceiling has separated from the joist?
-
I’ve been wondering this too as I live at home and only practice late at night and don’t want to wake everyone up.
Just wondering what type are the best though as I think bulky ones may get in the way or risk being broken
-
Dancing in the gray thank you for your very in depth response! It is good that all your reasoning comes from a health perspective… I really value your opinion as I do value the opinions of everyone in here.
I think I will need to experiment and see what works for me but thank you for your advice!! It is very valid and many points you brought up which I never considered before
-
I find the CKR to hurt so much more than the CAR, I have very meaty thighs! Although I feel much more secure in the CKR.
-
I looked up princess grip on Pole Dance Dictionary and it showed the same move. It’s so confusing how everyone calls things different names!
-
A lot of people seem to find it weird that I am progressing quickly… I can't actually do the candy/shoulder mount.. I am just practicing lifting my legs into position. My instructor was sure I could start to work on it as she said it will help my strength in other moves.
She said that as I could hold a flag for 30 seconds I had the strength to begin learning it. I have tried it and am no where near inverting so it's all good everyone.

Thanks so much guys!! I can’t believe I’m learning a shoulder mount after a month and a bit of poling !!!
-
Don’t give up!!! Only a couple of weeks ago I was having the same problem with letting go of my hands as I’d just learnt the basic invert. To get over my fear I just kept practicing it over and over and over at home on my pole and I eventually got it!
When I inverted I got myself I slide closer to the floor so if I felt unstable I could put my hands on the floor. Then I practiced letting go with my right hand. Then I’d put it back on and let go with my left.
Then, I would let go of both and just hang there for a bit. I felt that I had to make sure my legs were squeezing super hard before I felt comfortable to let go of my hands.
Please don’t give up!!! I am really really scared of heights so if I can do it so can you!!
