LOL Thanks guys!

Kelly, no I’ve never been in theater or college for that matter! I’m just a little crazy I guess!

Thanks I polekat, I love those boot too!

Thank you guys for joining me today….I had fun! Todays broadcast can be replayed for the next 24 hrs I THINK, (it could be 48 hrs) before it’s automatically no longer playable. Here’s the link from today 💜 https://www.periscope.tv/w/aO_vXjFQWEtkb1lEQlpRZXZ8MWt2SnBOcVdqak1LRZtstGkl9IqUgPBKU9keUKDjmZEPvNN4dYTvsl8dZb67

I agree that it’s not bad to end in a crucifix in fact I consider that the first step, once you can do that you move on to the shoulder mount V. As far as handstands do you do them often or are you new to them?

For all of these things control as Lola said is the key. Keep in mind that controlled momentum is fine but it has to be controlled, otherwise you risk injury. Have you gone through the lessons here in order to see if you’re ready to work on shoulder mounts and single arm handstands? I’m not sure how long you’ve had them but if you didn’t know, lessons are placed in a progressive way to help you build up to each move.

If you haven’t been working on elbow stands try those first before forearm or handstands. 🙂 Body awareness improves as you work on these things in small steps. 🙂

I think I fit into that list of what you’re looking for, my vids are all on my profile here. I pole as a form of expression, however I do include sexual or sensual as expression and art at times 😊

I would also check out Tracee https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/bc561daa-d89d-11df-ab19-12313b090e12

I have a few Halloween videos I thought I’d share over the next few days to inspire!!! Keep in mind I used a professional editing software to create special effects on green screen!

This one was so fun to create….it was MADNESS! ha ha ha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-XiRcZrqXs

You’ll find lots of great expressive dancers here! If you want to see full dances not just clips or practice, click on video then select dances 😀

I should add that even the tuck invert when done with hips in front and no push from any foot is also a deadlift.

[Veena]

Deadlift is, no push, hips in front of pole and legs straight the whole time. It’s number 5 in this video https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/53723d53-4e68-47e7-b77a-0eec0a9aa0eb

[Veena]

Hmmmm..I don’t even think I have a deadlift V invert lesson! The V invert is not as difficult as a full deadlift and you’ll find the V invert towards the end of the intermediate section, and you can see I do still push off with the foot and keep the knees tucked. I would place a deadlift invert in advanced. 🙂 I will put that on my new lesson list!!!

[Veena]

Am asking because they require far more strength than a basic invert and I don’t want anyone to think it’s something that you HAVE to learn unless. They are great for advancing on to aerial inverts, but depending on your level if deadlifts are focused on too much injury is common. Despite what some may say controlled momentum isn’t a bad thing. 🙂

[Veena]

That’s great news! Give yourself time and stay with the low resistance as long as they suggest for you. Thank you for the update!

[Veena]

Thank you for sharing with us!!!!!!

[Veena]

Can I ask why you feel you need to do a deadlift invert?
