    Don't feel bad at all Nessie. Spins are not beginner moves and require you to build up strength before working on them. Try starting with the basics, everyone can learn to pole dance! Also keep in mind that the dancers in pole comps have trained hours and hours a day. 

    I would suggest talking with your dr about flexibility and your tummy tuck. 🙂

    Yes, a video would help us help you. 🙂 

    Here is an OLD tutorial I made for YT doing the cartwheel mount. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTxwC6v14Pg Pay attention to the "wrong" examples, other than holding the hands too high, keeping the butt out and not getting the butt and hips up over head is the biggest issue. 

    Here is a video showing the differences between cartwheels and handsprings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sag8kwfYBmU

    Yay that’s good your not staring with the tg!! Nothing wrong with tucking either, just not something you hear other instructors use. I use the tuck method too. However I think the tuck works best for handspring and no so much for cartwheel. Handspring is stepping under the body head moves back. Cartwheel is stepping forward head moved foreword and down.

    Fear is a huge issue for both the handspring and cartwheel so watching others do it and literally telling yourself you can do it is very helpful. Again if you have the chance check out the lessons for the cartwheel and handspring here.

    Unless it’s reinforced then yes I would think so. At 14 feet my 45 mm pole had much more give than at the 11-12 feet it’s at now.

    Yes you hook the foot. What grip are you using? I’m wondering if it’s the twisted grip because you’re told to tuck?

    I really like my 45 mm titanium gold x pole. I’ve used it at the height of over 12 feet even. I like using the mount instead of the dome for the taller poles.

    The lessons here will help you so much a crash mat and shorts that allow for plenty of contact with the pole. 🙂

    October 20, 2013 at 10:05 pm in reply to: Technique to get better at Pole! Would you be interested?

    Pole dance is just as mental as physical! If you continuely tell yourself something is impossible or continually think you will never get it then you make it so much harder for yourself. The members here are very protective of their site 😉 As mentioned anything that sounds like an ad that isn’t posted with our Permission tends to be questioned.

    Thank you for sending us an email asking to post. I can see that you’re passionate about this technique and that’s great! Feel free to talk with others on here about the technique, just make sure it doesn’t come off as selling something 🙂

    We’ve never encourage our members to hide their pole dancing! I myself often posted about the importance of sharing, in order to remove the “stigma”. Yet I fully respect those who feel they don’t need to share. There is a time and place for everything.

    Ever since we started this website we’ve encouraged others to share if they can! 💜

    Hi Loveleahannah. As Reenie mentioned spins are not the best thing for new polers to start with. You'll want to do pole work and conditioning work that strengthen the muscles, before working on spins. If you have a home pole you may want to check out the lessons here. I have everything in order for you building strength as you go. I also have a 30 day take off program that would be helpful as well and its included when you purchase the lessons. You can try them for 3 days using this code. GET3FREE I know you'll love them!

    Here is a little video about the 30 day program. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/50e4694e-a85c-4fa0-8e66-61940ac37250
