AerialFaery, it’s not to late, you can even do anytime. When you upload your video just be sure to put January Challenge so we know which challenge it is. 🙂

Wonderful!!

It’s a good pole too, however I find that if I have limited space, a spinning pole is a better option then static. On static when I do spins my legs really fly, you need space in order to really reach out with the limbs to get nice momentum for static spins. On spinny you stay closer to the pole, you don’t need to swing the limbs on spinny. Just something to think about.

You can view the lessons on a TV if you have a gaming device that allow you to use the internet. Also if you have an apple TV you can push the videos onto the TV as well. I know DVDs seem like a great ideas, but I’m always updating and improving and adding to the lessons here. In addition to that, the amount of DVDs you’d have to purchase to see all of the lessons here would be CRAZY!!! There is so much info, it would be a huge box set. 🙂 I’m glad you enjoy the lessons though!

Joni, I don’t know of any site that just has choreography, but I made a video with tips for creating your own routine. 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhW5OcZoMRM

Pixi, I was just thinking about you, let us know when you pop! 🙂

Here’s a link to one discussion on this topic, if you use the Search you’ll find more advice as well. 🙂

I’ve been working on the eclipse (not seeing much improvement) and also working on Forearm stands, I haven’t been able to do them for over a year because of a chest injury that happened when we moved into this new place. I could almost get my feet to my head, before I hurt myself and now I’m sooooo far from that! lol

Staring directly at the pole if start to feel dizzying is a tip I use. There’s something about cutting the line of sight in half that stops the room from spinning right away! The dizziness will get better with time, but for now try spacing out your pole spins. Doing spin after spin is usually why people get dizzy.

This video may help you. I explain how I make my hoops, I will mention that I no longer by my supplies at Home Depot and such, I just can’t find the tubing there anymore. However, I now use a place called Discount Hoop Supplies, they have great customer service and tons of tubing, they also have pre made hoops. http://www.hoopsupplies.com. If you’re looking for simple instruction for the basics of hooping, I have lessons here. 🙂

It is a fun show, I saw it in the theater when it came out! 🙂

My husband used a hole saw attached to a drill, however, you don’t have to make it round, it could just be a square piece of wood. It’s not attached by anything, only the lil mynx screw runs though it. 🙂

I’ll clarify, the 30 day program is a section in the lessons.
Are you trying to get to the first video you see when you signed up? That would be the “getting started” lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250
OR are you trying to get to the first day of the 30 day Take off program? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50d407f6-6738-46d9-bca7-32260ac37250

FYI the other mount you see is my X pole vaulted ceiling mount. 🙂
-
For my metal vaulted Lil mynx mount we made a small (slightly larger then the mount) wood piece, and it has worked super well. I’ve not had trouble with the regular white mount, but the metal gave us some issues becoming loose, adding that small piece made all the difference!!!!
-
The very first video is the introduction to the program, the tasks for that day are not to physically do anything, but rather, to watch and listen, familiarizing yourself with the way the lessons are placed, by watching and reading the descriptions for each “getting started” Lesson. The warm up is there as an example for you to watch, then you’ll have a better idea of what you’ll be doing tomorrow. 😊

I know carpet isn’t what you want, but I’ve seen people use a large rug under the pole.

Our Powder coating makes for a very consistent grip, and it’s the only pole that switches from static to spin with the push of a button, and the BACK to static by lifting the button up. It’s also super fast and easy to put up and remove, it takes some muscle to do it, but I love how convenient it is!
-
Yes, you can cross train with anything else you like, the program won’t take up too much of your time! You worked with Lyndi!! She’s a great person and a beautiful dancer, your in good hands with her!
-
What I posted is not a challenge it’s a program, very in-depth it’s a guide for polers just starting or getting back into pole after a long break.
There was an ab challenge I posted publicly, this is not a step by step but general tips and exercises for ab training using the pole.

If you can, go with vaginal birth for the fastest recovery!

This is common for new pole dancers, and I feel it can be prevented! Before working on an static spins a poler should do conditioning and strength training for the wrist, and shoulders. Then once you’ve worked a few weeks on this and other pole work that builds strength you can move on to static spins. Keep in mind, that you should work up to one handed spins, they are the most taxing on the joints. There are some great conditioning lessons here if you are interested. 🙂

Helloooo! Nice to meet you! 🙂

Hi, and welcome! A month is not a long time and there isn’t a set by month one you “should be this” far, for pole dancers. We all have our own journey and some are able to work daily because pole is their profession, others pole dance because it’s simply fun, a great workout, or an expression for them, so progress will not be important.
It sounds like you could benefit from the lessons as others mentioned. I have everything place in an order in which to progress, this way you don’t have to teach yourself or figure out what to do at home! As mentioned I also have the 30 day take off program, this will give you 30 days of structured lessons that will increase your strength and improve you pole progress!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0For pole grip issues, first make sure your new pole is super clean try steam!! Don’t put on lotion right before poling, however, if you have normal to dry skin and live in a cool/cold climate, you might find that a non greasy lotion like Lubriderm hours or the night before you pole very helpful. If you slip because to sweaty hands try a grip aid like dry hands, if you’ve cleaned your pole and warmed up well, but still slip, try Might Grip and Dew point they work magic for cold pole rooms! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw

The conditioning lessons here, and well, all of the lessons here will help!! I cover proper posture each time we go through a new move and the strength and conditioning will help train your body, the key is consistency and being aware of when you go back to your poor posture. Wanting to change, it and knowing its not right, is great, but you wont see an improvement until you start physically retraining the body and mind, muscle memory is a powerful thing!
Here is a video that has suggestions for overall posture and proper abdominal contraction. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NznyiEdLrDE
