I will say, twisted grips and split are not beginner appropriate this is why they are not addressed much in the beginner lessons. Please focus on building strength and conditioning your forearms, wrists and shoulders before trying these! Split grips are a common culprit for tendentious in pole dancers. Also remember all lessons here place in an order in which to watch, helping you build the strength and skill needed for these more advanced grips.
You will find a list of grips and hold in our gallery, but there is not one lesson that covers all grips because there is often much more to each grip than, push or pull here. If you’re looking for lessons that correspond to grips shown in the gallery you’ll find links to follow for more help 🙂

Dew point will make skin more moist!! So that would not be a good option for humidity. A dehumidifier is an option and I would say grip aids like Dirty Girl Poletice, this grip aid helps prevent sweat 😊

AdministratorJune 6, 2015 at 9:37 am in reply to: tips for a home-learner + lesson order and progression adviceI don’t know what the other website looks like, but the lessons here are all in order.
To begin learning here all you need to do is watch the very first Getting Started https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250 and it will explain how the lessons work and where to start! It explains how you need to work on lessons in the order they are presented and it coaches you on reading all descriptions. Descriptions explain how long to hold, what muscle groups are used along with other important info! Guessing and skipping around isn’t needed here, it’s all planned out for you to build strength first keeping you moving forward and injury free!
The photos posted above are not what I consider things a new dancer should start with, you need to work up to many of these moves.
If you want 30 days of my guidance then follow the 30 day take off program https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/30-day-take-off Again, no guessing needed 🙂

I think the best thing and usually the most noticible thing to new polers is how much stronger they feel! Forget scales, your engergy level, how clothes fit and progress are the best indicators of if something is working for you.

Yep alcohol during practice and steam to get all the grip aids and skin residue off.
I’m shocked the xpoles would be so sensitive that hot water/steam would take off the finish, seems very odd!!!!! I’ve never had any problem and I’ve been doing it for a good 4 yrs now!!!! I remember it being recommended by xpole that people clean them with hot soapy water. I would think steaming and instantly wiping to dry shine would be better than water and soap?

Yay, so happy It worked for you! It’s always worked great for my poles 💜

AdministratorJune 3, 2015 at 10:49 pm in reply to: Anybody have tips or routines for beginners?I doubt you are doing something wrong,I would guess it’s a matter of strength. How long have you been pole dancing and have you been working through the lessons here in order or have you done the 30 day take off program?

If you’re looking for routines have you tried the lessons found here in the routines section? None of the mini routines require inverts and there are 30 of them.

Good to hear! Enjoy the 30 days! 💜

You could also use the events section here or discussions to start a meet up thread 😊

Tacky skin always grips best! So for some that means they need grip aids, lotion, or to warm the pole and their body more thoroughly to create enough moisture on the skin to stick. Others slip from sweat! Cold poles and dry skin are a nightmare!!

It should be flush, I would contact lil mynx.

AdministratorMay 31, 2015 at 8:57 pm in reply to: Curious about the two step powder coating finishI don’t know anything about the process 😊 However, I would go to whatever place you find and take a look at their finishes and touch and feel them as well. I had a pole done by someone in Vegas and I just went with a finish that was a high gloss and really like it!

The pole its self could spin with it on, but I don’t use on spin right now because the Lyra doesn’t stay in one place. But once that is resolved, yes spin mode would be fun!
