omg i know! my father almost died bc of a blood clot in his leg. my doc wants me on birth control pills bc of a cycst on my ovary that could turn cancerous, but i won’t bc am too worried about poling and clots w/o added risk of bc pills. i would be DEVASTATED if i couldn’t pole. i think my chances have gone down dramatically as am alot stronger and have better control now so am not bruised ankle to hip lik ei used to. rarely bruise at all anymore excpet if try knee hold too many times in a week. thanks for the concern though!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

i am also working on ariel shloulder mount ( my feet keep hitting the ceiling and scaring me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif LOL ) and just wanted to add remeber to engage your abs to protect your back. i try to sort of ben my knees and pull in towards chest and than extend legs up to grip pole. i prefer trying from side climb ( or however you can get into more of a figurehead than a dove so your more in position to just go. your hips will already be in front of pole. also would say don’t try this 1 too many times at once as can be straining if your not used to it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i personally need a warm grippy pole, warm legs, and be sure you and pole are very dry ( no sweat, residue ect) and i use the meatiest part of my upper inner thighs to grip. i cross my WHOLE leg from upper thighs to feet very tightly. you can use your hands to guide you down ( use a spotter you trust as will give you more confidence ( or atleast a big thick soft mat ) … also you can try a little grip aid in the inner thigh area plank hmm reverse or reg>? Well regular is very simple just hold pole w dom (strong) hand a little low on the pole as your sitting on the pole (use again the upper inner thigh area to grip but remeber to tense and cross tightly whole length of legs)and when feel good about your grips extend your legs out straight w ankles crosed and lean away from pole so as horizontial as possible reaching non dom hand out and away sogoes w a nice straight laying back line.. you can add variations when ready. if you have veenas lessons you should check it out. i hope this helps some.
ps for me the right music makes a diffrence https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_DJ.gif good luck and keep trying. let us know how it goes! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i know some people have done this so am guessing it is possible .. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif anyone know of any tutorials of how to SAFElY make an outdoor pole>? am also considering stage pole, but hear so many conflicting things, not sure what to think about them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif -
thanks! i still have no idea what to do.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif it’s just kind of expensive so whatever i get has to be #1 safe #2 durable #3 user friendly if it weighs as much as a house and takes 3 peeps to set up..not going to work.. just not sure if it’s possible to have a stage/SA that is lightweight, but still heavy enough to take hard side spins.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif oh i sooo wish could try before buy ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

going to have to agree .. if you pole in public you WILL get attention https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif male and female, good annd bad. girls will almost always give you dirty looks and /or try to start something. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif i was in this situation over the weekend. i just took it up a notch when got female haters and had fun, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif but it does get soo frustrating. i would say if anyone gives you unwanted attention tell them polietly, but firmly that you do not want to talk w them and if they don’t stop, get a boucer or talk to the bartender. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif not worth taking a chance on someone who may go violent over something stupid. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif never go out alone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif and remember if your not sticking together and watching out for ea. other you mine as well be alone. dress appropriate, don’t be overly sexual, and don’t worry about the rest! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif POWER2THEPOLERS!!!

-
am taking forever to purchase a new pole bc reallly want to pole outside so would need stand alone or stage pole (prob SA) but not sure how stable and easy to use they are… so maybe just go w new xpert but heard some not great thimgs so don’t know what to think.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

once you feel comfy w this move try likning it into a back hook. it looks pretty, its easy, and gives you good momentum. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
-
i use my bottom hand to brace myself as bring bottom foot to against pole. once i feel bootom leg/foot is in good position i slowly lean my chest back and shoulders back this forces you to open your hips and go foward as chest and shoulders lean out away from pole. remember to grip HARD w that top bent leg and be sure your legs and pole are warm and tacky not slippery. hope it helps https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

AWSOME!!!! thanks so much Cherrybomb!!!!

yes although I only freestyle, I would like to start working on a routine, and agree the best thing is to listen to the song that natrually moves you til you get familiar w where there are accent pieces ( like in my may challenge vid I used Crazy Bitch as my song and the beginning is very explosive to start the song so i did a open leg RG and really through myself bc that was an accent piece. ). so listen and if the song starts soft than suddenly changes to a faster tempo or there is that something that stands out you want an unexpected dramatic move. it doesn’t have to be a big trick but it does need big attitude to fit the vibe of the song. can be a fast drop or a quick hair flip. so once you sit down w your pad and pen and listen to your song for the accents you know where your going to thrown the drama in.. now what to do w rest of song? listen for lulls in the beat or vocals where you can catch your breath and do some standing poses, hip rolls, floor work, wall work ect. mark down the moves you wil use for these lulls. can be as simple as writting "wall work and crawl to pole for next move". now think of a start to the lead up to the first accent or other planned move. will you walk directly to the pole? will you crawl to it? ignore it at first and go right to the floor/wall other move? ok next how do you want to end it? on the floor? sitting on the pole? in an invert? listen to the song and now the impression you want to leave.
now you should have listened to the song enough to be familiar w the tempo, beat, and lyrics. you should have written an entrance sequence ( walk to pole, wrap leg around, bend down and whip hair up.. or walk to wall, do body waves off it, slither to floor, flirty legs, roll over, get up sexy, walk to pole, first spin ect)
you should have a move planned for every dramatic part of the song ( accent pieces ), you should know how your going to handle slower parts ( lulls ) and know how you want to end the song (ending sequence)
