Hi RedVelvet! Are you a home poler or do you have a studio you learn from or are you self-taught? Do you have structure to your practices? Also a month is NOT long at all. The first few week should be spend working on strength and conditioning the body anyway so don't be too hard on yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It's too late to order now, but these are always available for events. http://studioveena2.spreadshirt.com/large-buttons-A9324806/customize/color/1

Have you tried it on static? Also the grip you use can make a difference. Is you're thumb up or down in your bottom hand for the Split grip? If you're taking the lessons here are you able to do it with the knees bent as shown? You'll also see what Rune and Chem mentioned, C shape body and push with inside leg lift with the outside lead leg, the other will follow in the lesson.

I've been dancing to Paradise circus and many Massive Attack songs this past month. So I might have to do that one! However, I didn't know it was over used or cliche. LOL

Jade, we are having a pool party though! https://www.studioveena.com/events/view/Studioveena_Pool_Party_1377901691

Um I had no idea those existed Trixi!!! So cool!!!! I think I might have to get some! I have footundeez but my toes still get twisted when I dance on carpet.
-
Until you’re able to view the lessons you can just look at the order. It would be better than nothing! 🙂
-
In all honesty I wrote it as a reminder to myself too!! 🙂

You can always use the lessons here as a reference. They are place in the order in which MOST should progress building the strength and proper form needed.

This is a common question here from moms. My answer is always YES! Kids LOVE playing on the pole!!! I have 4 boys and they all are allowed to use the pole. However, they have to ask my permission, and they cannot use it when I'm not around for safety reasons. I even made a video with my kids a few years ago (they are much older now) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vCkyjxm1Hk
I don't steer away from the sexual aspect of it, I don't think its necessary. I want my boys to have a healthy view on sexuality and I think that comes from not hiding that we are sexual beings. There is nothing dirty about wanting to feel sexy or think someone is sexy, it's normal!! I let my oldest boys watch Dancing with the stars and So you think you can dance and they have some very sensual (sexual as others might see it) dances on those shows. They understand that pole dance can be many things including sexy, just like any other style of dance.
Jacki C I use to feel the way you do!! I would immediately say it was a good workout when talking to others about it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Now that I have matured in my pole journey, here's my take on it. I totally understand why many parents (and others) like to emphasis the "fitness" aspect of pole, because it's less awkward. You want to protect your kids and yourself from judgment. But, by not talking openly about the other sides of pole, like the fact that is can be sexy, are we possibly keeping that very stigma that many pole dancers worry about? Unless a person truly, ONLY, uses the pole for exercise (which some do and that's cool) I think we might be doing ourselves an injustice by playing the "I do it for fitness" card. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could be comfortable with their sexuality!!!!
One last thing, I'm not say that poling just for the fitness is bad or wrong, not at all! I just don't want it to become the excuse we use to justify what we love..IF that love is Pole DANCE. If you do pole FITNESS, then yes, focus on what a great workout it is when you talk with others. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

My poles are on carpet and dancing in heels is REALLY difficult, but not impossible. I tend to dance barefoot because of this when I practice though. If I plan on working on floorwork then I put legging on, but then of course you can't dance on the pole as much. So my advice, just keep at it, it is possible to flow on carpet it's just not the perfect option. It's great for challenging your balance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I’m sorry we won’t be attending the expo this year. However, if you want to try the sv pole send me an email while your here and you can come over to my place and check it out! 🙂

A super hot bath works! If you're looking for a workout the Express warm up routine is only 6 minutes, but warms you up fast! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50c61288-123c-4047-ac9d-1beb0ac37250

Glad you had fun!!

You don't have to have the foam roller, I use it a few times in the program but it's not a big deal if you don't have one. You can just skip that part. I would suggest buying a resistance band or 2. I use those in the program and I suggest all pole dancers use them for conditioning. They are pretty inexpensive. Here are two examples http://www.amazon.com/Valeo-VA7657MU-Stretch-Bands/dp/B0007IS714/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1377707857&sr=8-4&keywords=resistance+bands
You can find them at sporting goods stores and places like WalMart and Target too.

Jane ette, I'm sorry your classes keep canceling! The lessons here are perfect for home polers! I break them down really well and we have slow motion and picture in picture, pause, rewind etc. Everything is place in order so you work towards building the necessary strength needed for more advanced work. Even the stretches are place in a specific order. If you have questions about your form you can always post a video for myself and the other member to view. There is also the option of leaving a comment on a lesson for me if you have questions and I get back to you ASAP! Tons of people have use these lessons to learn at home. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

The 30 day take off program is part of the lesson package. You’ll have access to it once you purchase the lessons. You’ll need a pole at home to get started.
-
Make sure it’s a nice large hoop, the bigger the easier when first learning 🙂
-
I HAtE cardio too! Lol hooping and dancing through whole songs are my only source!
