22. Flirty Fireman replacing Front Hook Spin??just checking – think Veena recorded front hook spin or is that same as flirty fireman but flirty fitted space better??
I love the font and the colours and design; it’s really easy to read and looks gorgeous.
Thank you again talented Allyson!

Build up tolerance over time. I used to get dizzy after 10 seconds!
If you are dizzy you can help to reset your inner ear fluid by looking hard close up at the pole, then the ceiling, then the pole again. Breathe. Centre yourself. Make a pretty shape very slowly to give yourself a break, just standing tall and pointing a foot whilst doing something wafty with an arm looks nice while you get yourself together, or kneeling down or doing body waves whilst looking at the pole are all tricks I use if I get dizzy in a freestyle.Go round the other way, a few pirouettes will do, you don’t have to do a spin trick the other way if already dizzy.
Some people let their gaze soften and stare at nothing when spinning, others look at a fixed thing – the pole, or their wrist or something. See what works for you.
Extend out to slow a fast spin – put your arm or leg out and exhale – if you can touch the floor with a foot or arm to slow it use fingertips and touch gently otherwise the pole can throw you off!

MemberDecember 23, 2014 at 7:47 am in reply to: #beautifulbeginnerbasics challenge ideaI think people searching for beginner pole moves will be unlikely to find anything using any of the tags so far, but users can individually tag their posts. #beginnerpoletrick or #polebeginnermove or whatever as well as the name of the move eg #polefireman #firemanspin if they want to attract the attention of IG users new to pole searching for inspo.
However actually calling it a ‘beginner’ challenge I think will put off quite a few experienced dancers who might otherwise try it out. Positioning it as a ‘back to pole basics/fundamentals’ gives it wider appeal and reflects the idea that whatever stage we are at on our pole journey we can all benefit from training the core basics and working to perfect our form.
So after that long woffle I vote for ‘SVback2basics’ or ‘SVpolebasics’ because basics is less likely to be spelled wrong than fundamental!

Is it what I do here?https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5487a5c1-cf08-4f56-a7fa-3e5e0a9aa0eb
Apparently split grip legs wide hanging down is Wonderwoman and drawing legs up straight and straddled whilst facing pole is Boomerang.
However I just call it a bracket spin with v legs.
Pole is confusing.

MemberDecember 22, 2014 at 11:29 pm in reply to: #beautifulbeginnerbasics challenge ideaAgree this isn’t just for beginners, it’s about fundamental basics. We can all benefit from chasing perfect form in the basics. Just like world class ballet dancers take time every day to do basic grand plié at the barre and to improve it every day,
#back2basicpole?

MemberDecember 22, 2014 at 10:23 pm in reply to: #beautifulbeginnerbasics challenge ideaWhoops cross post with Veena. Yes love those suggestions too!
Is a pole hold hop same as prance? I thought they were same. Prance is already in.

MemberDecember 22, 2014 at 9:03 pm in reply to: #beautifulbeginnerbasics challenge ideaWould it be better to wait til February then? I know we are all very excited, especially me but if a thing is worth doing it’s worth doing REALLY CHUFFING WELL and to have Veen demo it would be THE BEST.
Also if it has #SV I don’t want to bring the SV brand into disrepute by posting up half assed crap demos.

MemberDecember 22, 2014 at 8:41 pm in reply to: #beautifulbeginnerbasics challenge ideaI hope everything is ok for you in January Veena.
That’s a good suggestion about the elbow stand Saeyh, how about we replace it with a martini spin? Hopefully Lucca could show us what it is because I think I know it but call it a Señorita.
I had a thought – could we make this challenge hosted by ‘StudioVeenaUsers’ so it’s clear we are all different level, at-home polers doing this to improve out practice, for fun? And have the #studioveena?
Maybe we could do a rota to demo the moves? If Veena has time to demo that would be amazing. Otherwise I guess I can shoot the first week’s worth and then put it up the day before. Still feel a bit strange about being the demo guru though because I am really relearning all this stuff myself after neglecting it. -
Personally I am proud of my guns.
I show them off!
