Oakmama, there are many lessons that do not use the pole. I have Floorwork, conditioning, strength (most can be done with a wall or door jam) flexibility training, foam roller and even some hula hooping!
-
Take advantage of the lessons here. The 30 day take off has so much info for new dancers!
-
You just spray it on where ever you need it. Yeah, you wouldn’t need it for the sv pole 🙂
-
Why is it slippery, too cold, too sweaty, pole finish? When I do a performance I use Cramers Firm Grip spray. You will stick like a fly on a glue trap. If sweat is your issue I'm unsure if that will help. You would need to stay with products for sweat like dry hands. iTac is a no no for sweat!

Post a video. Spins "feel" easy because all you have to do is hold on! Also some people find timing with spins challenging other have an easy time with it. Pole sits and climbs have more to them then just timing.
Is your pole warm?
Is your body warm?
Are you sweaty?
Are you sliding or just finding it too painful?
Are you tipping the hips a LOT if you have very thin legs?
Are you crossing at the ankle instead of thigh over thigh if you have larger legs? For sits.
Are you're pole holds strong?
Pole is also a mental challenge, so if you approach a move assuming you will not be able to do it, you will always struggle. Strength and conditioning before working on Climbs can be super helpful.

Portableninja, pretty much covered everything. If you could post a video doing both that would be super helpful for us.
A common issues other than hamstring flexiness, btw it is ok to push off with one leg and kick up with the other just do it against a wall!! Anyway, as I was saying another issue is not engaging the shoulders, and the head takes all the pressure. The shoulders need to be pushed away from the ears, if your scrunching up to the ears it's not right. Also the elbows should be under the shoulders not spread really far apart.
Bridge, it takes a lot more strength and flexibility of the shoulders than people realize. There's nothing wrong with staying in the beginner position until you become stronger. Also many people place the hands right by the shoulders or almost under them. This will make it more difficult too, try it with the hands by the ears instead. I show you in the lessons if you have them at the moment. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Are you making sure to drop the butt bringing the legs into position BEFORE you start to lean back and let go. The legs need to be securely against the pole first. 😉
-
No I’m guessing its fine. You can contact lil mynx if you have set up questions.
-
I'll add that yes as lyme said there's always a little rubbing sound. But if its really squeeky like then try tightening or loosening it just a tiny bit!
-
Sometimes mine has a rubbing noise if it's too tight. If that is what you're hearing. I've been told you can use liquid graphite on it too.
-
Quirky, you could totally do chair work or floor and wall work if you wanted. Even hula hooping if you have one!
-
cursed* lol I'll post later today

I decided Paradise circus was cured. Anyway, I went with Pour some sugar on me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi ScoopAway,
Soreness will occur a day or 2 after you used a muscle. It's not usually sudden! If it's just soreness, you will only "feel" it when you move (use that muscle), massage, or stretch the sore area. Injury tends to be sharp, stabbing, burning, often continues hurting even when the muscle is not being used. Soreness is normal and fine as long as you give yourself rest days. Here are a few other things to look at.
How often do you pole?
Do you use a computer for you job or long periods of time?
Are you doing mostly spins or pole work?
What size is your pole?
All of these things can bring on forearm pain. If you are taking the lessons there is a section that will strengthen the forearms and hands. There are 7 exercises starting with hand strength! I really like the tennis ball exercise for the hands because it not only strengthens but can help with dexterity and you only need a cheapo tennis ball!
Hand strength https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
If you think it's injury,​ see a DR and take a rest for pole for a while, in the mean time work on flexibitliy, floorwork, and the the forearms a break! Once they feel better, start by conditioning them and continue to stretch and massage/foam roll. I hope you feel better soon!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I'm so happy you stopped by! It was lovely chatting with you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

There is no v sit in this challenge 😉
-
Yep in the video it says leg lift is the replacement for v sit. 🙂

Hi Serzi, It's perfectly ok to express how you feel, but it's hard for everyone to know how serious you are just by reading text. If you type a response that sounds harsh you'll tend to get a harsh reply back.

I have one with the long ridges like the star. I love it! I wouldn't suggest using it too much for the back though, it's a little uncomfortable for that. Feels amazing on the legs!

You can see who's attending if you look at the event page. It should be a small fun get together for members. We'll have stage poles set up, music, light snacks, hula hoops to play with and of course a heated pool and spa! We love meeting anyone we can when we have the chance!! Those of you who have added yourself as "attending" on the event page have an email in your SV inbox with the address for the party. It starts at 8pm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
