Oh not good! Thank you for sharing and reminding everyone that pole will always be there once you’re ready again! 💜 I didn’t know you liked to knit, I do too!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

So exciting to see all the submissions posting!!!! 🎃

Are you brand new to pole? If you have not been pole dancing before then yes, start over. If you have previously been dancing then it’s ok to start back where you left off. 😊

You guys are awesome! xoxo

That’s funny because someone today was asking pretty much the same questions and had been dancing off and on for 3 yrs!
If you’re just getting back into things even if you don’t feel “new” to pole the 30 day take off program is a great place to start, it’s great for the on again off again poler! It will help you understand how to structure your pole practice, and allow you to build strength back up.
If you have a phone with a camera just use that, you don’t need anything to fancy. You can even upload right to here from the phone. Maybe can you use your computer to play music while you record with the phone?
This is the periscope I was talking about btw https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c

Hey! Did we talk on Periscope today? If so, it was nice to meet you and I hope you found my advice helpful. If not check out my periscope and you’ll find advice on this!! 🙂

Have you seen a dr yet? Do you know for sure it was an injury or could it have been muscular soreness?
If it’s an injury don’t continue to dance, you’ll need to take time off, we use our core including low back to stabilize and do so much in pole! jsheridan, has good advice.
Often low back pain and injury comes from weak abdominals, and just weak core muscles in general. Improper body mechanics and technique can be a cause as well, so when you do get back to poling make sure to spend some times training the core and you’ll wanna be careful and be strict on form.
Taking a week off won’t put you back and won’t allow muscles to atrophy significantly.

People can let themselves be offended by anything. I think it’s all in the intention of the person, don’t over think it.

Poleisnew, yes. I will upload it here as well, I will try and trim down what isn’t necessary. Looks like I was chatty this time and the video will be about 42 mins. LOL

Today I’ll be talking about FEARS that we as pole dancers may have! Come join me @10 am TODAY!

Many instructors don’t understand that the twisted grip can be harmful. Sometimes it’s immediate injury like if the student isn’t flexible or strong enough and they are kicking into this grip. Sometimes it’s injury that creeps up over time with heavy use.
I RARLY use it and ONLY if I’ve been poling consistently, my shoulders thank me for that! The rare time I use it I’m inverted or for single arm handstands and I’m transitioning to something else. It’s less taxing on the shoulder if you are closer to the pole and inverted. Reaching overhead while twisted or moving far away from the pole in some transitions using TG can be risky! Even when using regular ol split grip we need to be careful not to over do it and watch both the upper and lower shoulders!

Oh that’s exciting!!!!!
My tips would be relax and enjoy yourself, no one will know if you did a spin where you had planned an invert so don’t stress over forgetting choreography! I usually just freestyle but anytime I’ve planned choreo, I listen to the music over and over while laying down and visualizing the routine. This video has tips for creating a routine. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f8463f-3884-4318-b2fd-2d1c0a9aa0eb
If you normally have sweaty hands they will probably sweat more so take some time to try grip aids that work for sweaty hands. Dirty girl is the only one I can think off right now so hopefully someone else will have a suggestion for that. DON’T use itac on the hands.

Polar, I can see if someone has used the FB link to share from their video, so when you share you’ll need to do it through the big blue button otherwise you won’t qualify. While I would LOVE to see everyone sharing publicly you still qualify if you share within a group.

Sharing one more, this one was challenging again due to costume also I was a bit heartbroken to edit the video with effects because I had been able to dance cleanly through with costume! BUT I did like how the effects finished my creative process. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4cc6fd72-7ab4-4e36-bd8e-5bed0ac37250
