That’s totally normal when you’ve not been stretching. The best thing you can do is be sure your super warm before you start, like sweaty. Start off with less intense stuff and move to higher intensity. The first session back is always rough for me.

Can you post as link for those Trop 💜

Yes!! Don’t let me forget to make that one! I’ll be back home next week!!!!

There are dance routines and advanced combos. Check out the routines section and quick lessons for combos. Drops I feel should be done in the class room. 😊 I’m open to other ideas tho! 💜

Great post!! I feel the same, I’m inspired to go to my pole usually by other things. A song, other dance styles, needing to let feelings out.

Remember doctors are there to fix, so if you go in their solution will often be surgery, medication or advice like just stop doing that. They don’t really work in prevention or even physical therapy unless you as to see a specialist.
I know sometimes surgery is the only option but have you tired adjusting your zumba schedule? Not taking classes so often or waiting to start class again until you have focused on strengthening the body over all. Speaking of, have you focus on strength and flexibility for the lower body, or better yet the whole body? Often pain in one area is part of a larger picture so if we focus on posture and strengthening the core, shoulders, and even working on proper pelvic placement can change things greatly.

While yes, the intention was to simply categorize moves allowing teachers and students to communicate, but I can see how people will automatically categorize themselves or others, even if that was not the intention.
For some reason pole dancers tend to get caught up in levels and status, my hope is that some day we will learn to accept where ever we may be in our journey and be happy for others who we find inspiring instead of feeling like less of a pole dancers because we can’t do everything they do……

Talk with your Dr or midwife about an exercise program that’s right for you, if you are new to pole now is not the time to start. If you have been pole dancing and feel you are getting weaker than you need to start modifying your practice. 🙂

I’ve not had that happen but it does sound like you need to take a break. My general rule for working on moves is to attempt it 10 times or less and after that move on to something else. Be sure to work both sides switching your grip even if you can’t fully do the shoulder mount. Just don’t shoulder slides with the opposite side is helpful in balancing things out.

I think it’s an great conversation and I hope many see it! The fact that workshops teach Elite and signature moves without giving a clear indication of level is a big part of the confusion and issue. It makes me sad to see so many down on themselves after attending workshops and such. We have some amazing instructors that do a great job making things appropriate, but it’s not something that enough pros are doing. Through this course I’m hoping to help others understand that we don’t all need to do crazy tricks or even aspire to achieve splits if it’s not naturally within our bodies abilities! If you WANT to take it to that level, that’s great too, but it’s hard work! However, there is no reason anyone should feel crushed by not achieving these things. I say over and over in the manual that it’s our job as instructors to teach that pole can be amazing, entertaining, freeing, and strength building at ANY level.
Handstand are freakin hard and I do them very well, but I would not say I can handstand at an elite level, I lack consistency and control at times, but I’m still damn impressive! I don’t need to feel bad because my handstands are not world class circus good. They are an amazing achievement for ME!
Last bit here, to be clear that I don’t think anyone is TRYING to frustrate students or workshop attendees but often instructors and those who teach workshops, only teach what they know, not fully understanding how difficult it is for the majority of the population to reach this level. I don’t think any of us as adults would take a class in gymnastics and expect to qualify for the Olympics after only a few years! Don’t get hung up thinking only tricks either, you would not join an adult ballet class and be asked to join the San Francisco ballet after only a few years.
