    Both the SV pole and the Xpole with the vaulted mount will go up and down faster then a stage or an xpole with the dome. I don’t hide my pole from my kids or anyone. They are out for all to see, but if you need a pole that is removable really fast then the SV pole takes only seconds!!

    What is the height of the ceiling? Our SV pole can be extended up to 10 ft 🙂 All the info on this pole is here including 2 videos one demonstration installation and one showing how easy the pole is to use. https://www.studioveena.com/shopping

    The larger mount is the xpole mount and the smaller silver is the lil mynx. Both are great poles.

    Hi Jenn, If you’re new to pole dance I would suggest a full length floor to ceiling pole and not a stage. The stage will hinder floor work and it takes up a lot of floor space, also the “sway” is unsettling for a new dancer. A stage will cost more then just a pole will as well. I would ask if anyone is selling something other then a stage, look for X-poles and lil Mynx, these are very durable and can be mounted on vaulted ceilings when you purchase the mount for vaulted ceilings. 🙂

    How often are you training your back? Sounds like your body just wants more rest, back bending leaves me feeling satisfied and are your muscles sore your the spine, hips, lower back, middle back. What is sore? Also some like the foam roller on the back but others don’t, it can also depend on how hard your roller is. I like to use a softer non ridged one for the back. If you’re holding your breath at all you may become dizzy too!

    That’s up to you, flex doesn’t bother me. I have a brass 40 xpole at about 11 ft and it has flex but I use a permanent mount and it’s been great. The thinner the pole the more flex it will have too, as I said having flex doesn’t bother me.

    Legs the number of pieces you’ll use will vary according to ceiling height.

    Mummy, you’ll want to focus on the shoulder conditioning exercises in the lessons, these will give your shoulders a good foundation. 🙂

    One thing to be aware of Mummy, flexibility without the strength to support the shoulder is not good either. So it’s good you are flexible to do this move, so now focus on conditioning the shoulders.

    Yes, that is one of the routines, however I suggest you start by watching the individual stretching lessons first, the contain important tips and info on body placement for each stretch. Often dancers find they make better progress when they don’t do flexibility training every single day. Keep in mind that flexibility training and stretching are 2 different things! Daily light stretching is fine, but training to increase flexibility is something that requires more of your body so it needs time to recover. This lesson explains how to use the Stretching section. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250

    Also please what the “getting started” lesson for the site, this explains how to use the lessons to get the most out of them. 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

    Hi Viola, the routines for stretching are in the Lesson on the website here. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons

    I would say for most people achieving splits in 30 days is not reasonable.

    My frustration with this grip is not that some use it, but that I see studios pushing it as a grip EVERYONE should learn. Many studios only teach the twisted grip for ayasha, cartwheels and handsprings, and they teach it to beginners!!! I would love to see more polers understand that not EVERY move or grip is right for EVERY body type! I would agree that for some, using it wont be an issue, however, it was a signature grip that worked for a particular pole dancers body. Then, everyone decided was so cool “we must all do this”. Many moves are signature for a reason, that persons body could move in that way naturally! I know judges (myself included) that will not give high marks for TG because it is easier to hold, they are more impress with the split grips and true grips (which we also have to condition our bodies for btw).

    If you are working on the Twisted grip, then DO NOT do it from the floor by standing and KICKING into it! The best way to test the TG waters is from an invert off the pole.

    It can take years or only a few sessions depending on the person. There is no magical quick fix to gain the flexibility for splits, it takes time and consistency! 🙂

    I would highly suggest the lessons here, they will give you information on proper form and also you’ll find 3 stretching routines that are each twenty mins long.

    Here are some more tips for flexibility training, sometimes less is more!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZZE2GTBiQ
