HI! That sounds like an exciting trip! If you’re interested there are several routines here and over 150 lessons here that do not require a pole! You’ll find the conditioning section here would be helpful to maintain strength while you’re away from the pole. If you haven’t tried the lessons yet use the code GET3FREE to receive 3 days full access! I know you’ll love them! Also if you have a smart phone or tablet you can access the lessons from there as well.

I agree call pole, 12 feet seems like it might not be ideal for the brass 40. I have my brass 40 at just under 10 right now and there’s a lot of give! It’s not hard to install the permanent mount as long as you can find the joist. I love my permanent mount!!!

Yay, great progress! There isn’t away to get the pole to start spinning once you’re off the floor, other than pushing off of the ceiling! You’ll want to start the spin from the floor and work on maintaining it as you climb. Sweeping the legs and arms help keep momentum going as you move into other positions as long as your going in the right direction! This section has some spinning pole lessons if you haven’t seen them yet, they’re all listed towards the end of the section and are placed in order of difficulty. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/quick-lessons

Yes, you will find all kinds of info on shoulder in the lessons!
The conditioning section has 10 lessons for different exercises that focus on the shoulders! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/conditioning-exercises
You’ll also find this Veena’s tips helpful too! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f7165d-3484-4ffa-afa9-13de0a9aa0eb
Unless you’ve been “cleared” by a dr no one could tell you for sure when you can start training again. The best thing you can do is listen to your body. Always warm up as mentioned, and spend some extra time with the shoulders. Begin with the conditioning exercises and see how they go. You are right to avoid spins, and inverts. If you are using proper form and you have no pain, Pole Holds can be a good way to condition as well, but you need to be sure you’re engaging properly so and staying with a variation that puts the least amount of strain on you to start. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54921dfb-d4f0-474e-b098-238d0a9aa0eb
Once you are feeling healed try working on the “stands” routine, it will also help strengthen the shoulders.

I would think the thicker the mat the more likely you would twist an ankle while dancing on it. At least the ones I’ve seen thicker is softer in general. Have you thought about using cushions off furniture for when you work on new moves? If you’re dancing you should stay with things you’re totally confident in and a mat can get in the way. They are a must for new tricks or perfecting shaky ones!
If you want something softer than a floor try placing kids play squares down. Like these! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Groovy-Mats-Lime-Green-24-in-x-24-in-Comfortable-Mat-100-sq-ft-Case-GYCMLG/204714338?cm_mmc=SEM%7CTHD%7Cgoogle%7CD23+Area+Rugs&mid=siNw51b4T%7Cdc_mtid_8903pdd25182_pcrid_63577964848_pkw__pmt__product_204714338&gclid=CNrdlfHq4MkCFcZbfgodwe4Jlw

Are you saying you’d like to wear heels on the mat?
-
That would be fun!
-
When you say hip, what area do you mean, Front, back, butt area, hip bone area, side? If you were doing lots of climbs and it was bothering, then just avoiding that movement for a few days could be all you need!

The chair in the link is the same one I use in the lessons 😊
-
A slightly heaver metal chair will be less likely to tip or slide away from you than plastic! I personally wouldn’t choose anything plastic. The chairs I use are metal and inexpensive. I bought mine at Target for well under 20 dollars!
This chair is 9 bucks! http://www.target.com/p/folding-chair-black/-/A-14777780#prodSlot=medium_1_12&term=metal+folding+chair

REST! Most things get better if we give them a little time. Focus on upper body work for a bit and slowly work back into lower body. I hope the DR can help you figure it out and you heal quickly!!!!

That’s what I was going to say, try using the term stud or joist! If he’s thinking beam, I’m guessing to him that’s a BIG support not found in all construction! The ceiling wouldn’t have a finish if it didn’t have drywall which needs stud/joists! Suspended or false ceilings are rectangular panels not popcorn finished.

Hi! I’m glad my video inspired you!! It does seem odd that you wouldn’t have joists! Do you have a stud finder you can use? The only thing I can think is if you have a concrete ceiling, or old plaster and lath (I believe there are joists under plaster but stud finders won’t pick them up because it’s too thick), if you have either of those you can put the pole up any where. Some plaster ceilings will be more durable than others so if that’s what you have tighten slowly!

Hmmmm tooth brush and mild soap or leather cleaner?
