great job!!! i am trying to ease into it i have been doing the bow & arrow and then letting both legs go straight up and down (w/foot still hooked) just to see if i can hold myself w/that hand position straight up and down it actually feels like a very secure grip, but am not too sure about being able to balance straight up & down without foot hooked also tried knees got closer than ever have, but still no dice keep up the great work and can’t wait to see pics! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

small world when i was 5 a drunk driver came crashing through our front porch! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif the house i live in now is very old, and does make me nervous sometimes as far as celing damage ect, but even with that loud cracking sound i heard when putting up new pole, there are no cracks in the ceiling (don’t want to jinx myself) it’s actually the reason for 8 months i never took pole down to clean too afraid of ceiling damage caused by putting up/ taking down still havent put up old pole downstairs a little worried about celing down here, especially where i dont have alot of room to play with so hope can find a stud in a spot where the pole can go https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_DJ.gif well i hope you get everything all set soon i know what you mean it is like an addiction i am dying to go play around, but have been going really hard on it last few days so am pretty banged up i never thought i’d find an exesise i can’t get enough of! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif and don’t worry i think as long as you continue to work on strength/flexibility through other forms of exersise in the meantime, you’ll be fine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i don’t think they have to be in any special order there are lists on a diffrent thread that have all diffrent challenges i think as long as you get atleast 1 in a month your good i did a couple in 1 vid ( dance w/heels, remix song, prop) am actually about to go look for more ideas on challenges after this https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

I feel it speaks volumes about the type of person you are and makes you reek of insecurity when you have to put someone else down to make yourself feel you are some how superior anyone who has actually tried both ways knows they both present unique challenges and the fact that your able to pick up all your body weight and swing it gracfully around the pole is an accomplishment in itself regardless of static or spinning mode i also feel if you are so amazing, let your work speak for itself, be humble and gratful for compliments, and maybe be a kind person and give someone not as skilled a little encouragment an ugly attitude really ruins a beautiful performance

thanks i haven’t used a spotter or even a mat (except with first attempt bow & arrow .. used big pillow) for anything really wish there were classes in my area i think i have done well considering am self-taught, but there are some moves (handspring & few others) i feel i will not get ( or atleast not for a looong time) without an instructor am going upstairs in a little bit (i have turned lemons into lemonade https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif used to be the verrrry cold attic kept me from poling as often as i wanted now i let the heat run for an hr & a half as soon as i even think i might want to go pole and let me tell you, with the cost of runnin heat i am not going to let myself back out i go and do something even if its just floorwork and some simple spins i know once that heater has been running i am def using the pole room has helped me get alot more consistent lately) am not attempting anything major as am going clubbing sat. (FinallY) the club has poles on the bar so am going to play haven’t been out dancing in months but am going to tape whatever i do to add to vid to be posted beginning of nxt mo. am going to try the crossed ankle & knee i will feel it out to see what feels more secure thnx!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

when i asked veena about this she said she likes both 45 better for things like spinning faster and certain mounts (pencil/jade/iguana whatever you refer to it as from floor) but things like jade split hurt alot more as there is a smaller pont of pressure think of a skinny bar being pressed into your chest compared to a 4×4 size bar with the bigger object the pressure is distibuted more evenly as oppsed to being so concentrated at 1 point i think 50 is better unless you have really small hands as learning on a 45 than trying to do it on a standard 50 can be difficult

you also have to be aware of your bones pole dancing isnt all muscle it’s important to have strong bones as well sounds like you may have done a little damage to bone in forarm not bad actually good as long as you let it heal and dont push it you actually stregthen bones with weight bearing activites (it’s why astranauts have to do special weight bearing actives after returning from space no gravity/weight being beared actually makes the bones soft just like with muscles, if done properly and not overdone, the bone gets "damaged" -don’t know what other word to use and like muscle as they repair tiny tears ect they actually build stronger ) like so many things in life, if it doesnt break you, you rise up stronger than before) if just putting a little pressure hurts sounds like the equvilant of shin splints rest it til it feels better has happened to me to and always feel better in 3-4 days of not using be sure to get plenty of vitamin D (great for healthy bones but also amzing for lots of other health benefits) hope this helped https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

yes pandora is free internet radio you type in an artist or song and it will paly that song or music by that artist
than it creates a station that plays music that is similar to what you picked so if you typed in pussycat dolls you may end up with a station that plays missy elliot, britney spears, ect you can create a bunch of diffrent stations am actually listening to it now great resource for song ideas
expert village is a series of online tutorials they have pole dancing but is aimed at beginners and i don’t paticulary care for their pole videos

see im not sure i can get up by crossing ankles and sitting up not bc of lack of ab strength bc can do it no problem w/boots (can actually do sit ups on pole w/boots) but cant seem to find a secure grip with legs to actually allow myself to sit up w/o sliding down think i can go down way went up was able to do bow & arrow and come out with arms holding on pole in B&A position and letting body fall of pole backwards i’m just afraid i’ll get into it and fall on my head is there anyway to sort of practice or do you just have to go for it ?
( like how you can practice some moves by doing an easier version) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_chef.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif (just wanted to use some faces that never get used https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif ) -
i have done the shoulder mount but sometimes i cant as can’t figure out how to grip with legs/feet my ceiling is so low i can’t stretch my legs up much so it can be tough once i get a vid you will be able to see what i mean as its hard to explain i use a diffrent grip than that off the 1 in vid or veena uses i use the grip used in leigh anns or bobbi’s videos spilt fingers on top hand can’t wait to get better at basic sh. mt so can try these variations thanks for the link https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

thats what i was wandering i was thinking this can’t really what people are going through while they do knees and smile whole time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif i thought there might be a slightly less painful way to get into it i was def putting all the pressure right on my shin bone very very painful ( and i am not usually one to avoid a move bc of pain as know it gets easier) i think it’s 1 of the most impressive moves and would really like to learn it if anyone has any "insider tips" on how to make it a little less painful i would greatly appreciate it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

omg that is quite a task! that would be amazing to see though! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif i do have a few pics, but mostly me sitting on pole or standing near it ect have 1 of me in basic butterfly with straight leg( leg that bends behind you is straight to celing) if i get anything better in time will put on cd and email to you would love to be part of your project https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

well haven’t tried the "snap & spin" yet, but am getting braver have a decent amount to post now as far as video will be in the form of clips (very very random i may be wearing a 1 outfit playing a song, than i’ll be walking to camera to turn off, than there i am in diffrent clothes/song, than will cut back to original song/clothes ) it’s a little all over the place, but i did use a prop – long neclace did remix songs, and was in heels for some so did fit some challenges in am going to best buy this weekend to speak with someone about the problems i am having w/posting even though it’s frustrating i feel alot better after reading the suggestions i was given i know its possible it’s just a matter of knocking on enough doors til i find the 1 that works am not working today til 1130p ( have been working crazy hrs lately ) so am planning on taping some stuff to add to vid snowy day mine as well am planning on posting the 1st week of feb. should have enough vid by than can post a half way decent length vid https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
