It must be canceled before the 30 days and you will still have a full 30 days access no matter when you cancel.

There are different pricing options for subscriptions or a 1 yrs option, which offers the most savings in the long run. There should be a pricing link at the top of the site rush more info.

Oh no! The first half of my scope was interupted and so I was not able to save it for you all. Catch the re broadcast ASAP before it’s gone! I will still post the last half here for you all once I edit it. 💜

I tell you exactly what to work on for 30 days. I even tell you when to rest, stretch and condition. Here’s a look at the program. Oh, and keep in mind all programs and routines are included in any lesson package you buy. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0&index=26&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF

Hi and welcome!
I was a fast learner as well as I had also been lifting for years before finding pole. Since you feel tricks are physically reasonable to do, then I would suggest some conditioning. I know that for myself when I lifted, I didn’t target a lot of the smaller muscles that are important stabilizers when doing many pole moves. There’s a bunch in the conditioning section, I still do almost all of these even now! Remember unlike training for muscle growth were you lift heavy and use lower reps (at times at least) conditioning is about lower resistance and higher reps.
I also suggest making sure to go through the lessons in order so you develop the fundamentals. I see a lot of strong dancers skip these and I can tell when they dance, transitions get sloppy and they muscle moves. The lessons here are a progression so even if they seem easy take time to work on things like pole sits, holds and climbs. Watching all of the getting started lessons (first lesson in each section) will give you an idea on how to structure your pole sessions as well. Remember rest is super important!
PS I love watching bellydance and have done a TINY bit myself so feel free to share any videos with us, we like all kinds of dance here!

Ok great!! It’s super common to not be able to hold the body up so don’t stress about that, it will come!

My “dismissing attitude” is not over racism but the ARTICLE. The timing of the article seemed like a ploy to get people rilled up drawing attention to the BK blog over the halloween season. Which of course will sell costumes. The over all tone of the article was not caring or encouraging others to learn more about each others culture, but rather accusatory. It was written in a way that made it sound as if this was a raging issue among pole dancers.
I’ve not seen anyone making videos on here or creating routines for competitions where they have used costuming in an offensive way. Maybe is it an issue that I have not come across yet, but it’s not happening in videos I’ve seen. Had I been seeing many dancers choosing costumes that may offend that would be a different story, and we would need to get the word out for sure! I just haven’t seen these offenders.
I don’t see any REGULAR members being hateful or racist in anyway, the hate is coming from outside our SV community. I see members who are upset over the tone of an article….and it seems wrong to use such a powerful thing like racism to sell costumes.

If you haven’t watched it yet, my last Periscope was on fear and overcoming fears. I talk about how awareness is most important! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c

I don’t think I have you doing pole holds yet by day 3? However, if you find the Pole Hold Strength lesson is too challenging start with the Pole Hold https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54921dfb-d4f0-474e-b098-238d0a9aa0eb This one gives you more options to work up to both feet off. 🙂

If you have never poled before and have taken more than 4 days off from the program, start again. Keep in mind that I do include rest days so you’re not going to be working out everyday. I also include conditioning and flexibility training so there is no need to try and find other things to work on, unless you want to. Everything is there for you to progressively move on. Keep in mind that I tried to keep workout days under an hour most average about 30 mins of your time, that way those with kids and jobs can find time to fit in their training! Let me know if you have any other questions! 😀

Oh and you can get a valued mount and they sell these sturdy competition level joints that make the pole more durable for higher ceilings. At least that is what I had been told before.
