Poleisnewtome, it doesn’t have to be a clip from someone else, I’m always looking for any suggestion of new things you’d like me to teach you. Have you looked at the Handstand lesson here? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b6392600-b882-11df-856f-001b214581be Only asking because sometimes people miss things I have already 🙂
Thanks Lucca, I’ve not tried either of those, so it will be a nice challenge!!

I like to use isolated moments for all muscle groups to help clients develop a “feel” for that muscle group, before working on more compound movements, so I think that they have a place and can be very beneficial. Sometimes when you fatigue a muscle group you can feel it better! Its also nice for people who are just into body building or weight training to do thinks like twists. Traditional sit ups however, have been proven to not really be worth anyones time for the most part. So many more things you could be doing.
I think it’s important to understand you should be using your core anytime you workout or do any movement. It should be something you’re tuned into just like breathing.
I’ve used a lot of the exercises and movement I have in the Hard Core Routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52ed861b-ec78-434e-a1d0-23a40a9aa0eb Working on balance moves like handstands, yoga and such can also help you connect to your core.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I’ve been super busy with end of school parties and graduation.
I was only offering my help, offering the solutions and knowledge I have of body mechanics and having dealt with my own core issues and knowing what has worked for me and others. As always, feel free to take of leave my suggestions.

I would avoid wearing the corset! Doing so will actually cause the core to become weak, because it doesn’t need to support it’s self when wearing it. The best thing you can do for posture is practice and be diligent with conditioning work everyday, maybe even several times a day. You will find great stuff here in the conditioning section and veena’s tips section as well. You will need to continue to work on strength building moves like pole climbs, holds and such to build the muscle memory and strength to be able to properly perform static spins, this is why I have spins placed last in the beginner section.
Here are a few other things that will help with core and overall posture:
Don’t use the back of chairs, sit up and away, using the core to hold you instead of the chair.
If you sit at a desk try taking breaks to stand up and do some posture exercises a few time every hour.
Work on your breathing, working on becoming aware of your breathing can help relax the upper body and relive stress and muscle pain.

Yes, I think you’ll find good info in those threads or doing a search here of your own.

If you have tried brasso or other brass polish and it didn’t work I would contact who ever the pole was from and ask.

If you keep going trying only one thing over and over for say an hour session you’ll have a lottery bruising and soreness, it also put you at risk for overuse injuries. Mix it up and keep a blog or list of what you would like to work or or what you have worked on.

I will say, twisted grips and split are not beginner appropriate this is why they are not addressed much in the beginner lessons. Please focus on building strength and conditioning your forearms, wrists and shoulders before trying these! Split grips are a common culprit for tendentious in pole dancers. Also remember all lessons here place in an order in which to watch, helping you build the strength and skill needed for these more advanced grips.
You will find a list of grips and hold in our gallery, but there is not one lesson that covers all grips because there is often much more to each grip than, push or pull here. If you’re looking for lessons that correspond to grips shown in the gallery you’ll find links to follow for more help 🙂

Dew point will make skin more moist!! So that would not be a good option for humidity. A dehumidifier is an option and I would say grip aids like Dirty Girl Poletice, this grip aid helps prevent sweat 😊

To begin learning here all you need to do is watch the very first Getting Started https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250 and it will explain how the lessons work and where to start! It explains how you need to work on lessons in the order they are presented and it coaches you on reading all descriptions. Descriptions explain how long to hold, what muscle groups are used along with other important info! Guessing and skipping around isn’t needed here, it’s all planned out for you to build strength first keeping you moving forward and injury free!
The photos posted above are not what I consider things a new dancer should start with, you need to work up to many of these moves.
If you want 30 days of my guidance then follow the 30 day take off program https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/30-day-take-off Again, no guessing needed 🙂
