Yep Chem, unless your using a forearm grip. This is how I personally like to see these moves executed. ……In forearm grip V legs, the body still is beside the pole….only with elbow grip should you face the pole and with Split grip when moving into it from off the pole.
From Cartwheel, you'll be beside the pole in split grip, this should be the goal anyway, You can do it from off the pole and hold to the side, it's just harder!! It's not unusual to be able to cartwheel into this and not do it from off the pole.

I think dancing in releve "balls of the feet" is something I think we all should work on. It creates a much pretty line when walking around the pole, if your not wearing heels. It's also good practice for your inverts, if you're up on the toes you can't kick! You shouldn't need the heel for hardly any pole work. I've danced with an injured foot before. If you cut the foot I would be careful though, because the increased bloodflow could cause it to bleed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I thinks it’s a great question!
For me, Freestyle means “without a plan”. I don’t have any particular moves in mind and I let the music carry me away. This is my favorite way to dance, I feel, well, “free” and happy! This may not be everyone’s definition for freestyle though!
Loosely choreographed would be having particular combos, spins and moves in mind. the “in between” is not planned, nor is the order. This is what I have done for any of my videos where I don’t say freestyle.

Next time you try, feel free to upload a video here if you like as well. Then we can all offer some suggestions. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

The switch and the torso twist in the conditioning section are great for this! Also you may need the kick due to lack of hamstring flexiblity.

I wont teach the twisted grip variations on these moves, (at least not from a handspring) so all of the info that I'll give you is not for the TG. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
If you take a look at the lessons you can see the progression for this move. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons (I have the lessons in order) Caterpillar, Elbow or forearm straight edge V "Aysha", then elbow or forearm straight edge, then the split grip straight edge V "Ayesha" last is the split grip straight edge. This is the suggested progression that works for most people but everyone is different.
I would try working on elbowstands and handstands agaist a wall and focus on really engaging the core. Don't let your back arch. Also, if you haven't been already, start working on your caterpillar to straight edge v, before moving on to any of the other straight edge variations. I have tons of tips for these moves if your taking the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

This is a tricky one, there are a lot of things it could be. Can you do the V leg variation of the straight edge, with any of the grips? Like this? https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f88eb00-6f9c-4764-a7be-294b0ac37250

Aww don't feel bad, the first day back is usually rough! Also, I still start with a some strength and conditioning before I jump into advanced stuff, when I've been off the pole, for some time. You'll get it back! If grip is still an issue with the humidity try working on floorwork, or just dancing and improving movement around the pole.
Lyme there are a lot of things I can't do right now, but I know they will come back.
It's nice to vent though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

All you need to do is get some water in a spray bottle, spray the area that is smashed down and fluff it up with a comb https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It may take a few times to fluff it back up, but it's always worked well for me.

I say, yes! I think if its a hair style you love then you'll make it sexy! I personally think dreads on a pole dancer would be hot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif Your friends hair looks sweet btw

I don't know technically, as in chemistry wise. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif sounds like the 45 tg is a good fit for you!!
-
I have all of these finishes and sizes…From my experience, here is what you should consider.
If your a seasoned dancer (sounds like you are) and you're looking for better grip go with TG or Brass. Chrome is best for new dancers and those who love to do static spins.
BRASS: Do you sweat a lot when you dance or live in a warm climate, is your poel space warm? If yes, then go with the Brass finish. When I lived in the Midwest I couldn't grip the brass, here in Vegas it's been wonderful!!! Sweaty hands work better with the brass, then TG or chrome.
TITANIUM: Do you have troubles staying warm, or live in a cool/cold climate, is your pole space cool? Then go with Titanium, This finish has worked well for me in ALL climates!
I love my 40mm but I still love my 45mm poles too! I'm 5'8" ….The 40 is wonderful for creating new lines and extensions, but I prefer split grip work on the 45. There are benefits to all of the different diameter poles. I've tried 38's too and they don't feel much different than the 40. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh I bet you'll get lots a great advice from the members here, cut they're awesome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
If your looking for a removable pole, you might wanna try the xpole. We do sell them here on the site if your interested.
I would get a stud finder, makes it easy to find the joist, but if you have plaster ceiling it wont work.
Think about checking out the online lessons here. They are a great way improve your skill when you are not in the studio. I also include stretching and conditioning lessons that can help you progress faster. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

That's a lot of working out both of you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Rest!! Rest days are good,https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif and just as necessary as workout days. If your training or working that much, your diet (not dieting) lol but what you eat and how often, is very important. Eating often, making sure you get enough healthy food, during the day will help with fatigue. Bananas are great, and can be just as helpful as an energy drink! Plain old water is also very necessary. Whenever I start to feel tired during the day, I drink some water, and usually it helps boost my energy.
I eat 6 times a day. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Keeps my blood sugar regular, so I can avoid fatigue. I eat larger snacks on the days I workout. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Cliche, did you see a dr about your elbow? Do you know how you were injured? You might not have to wait 2 weeks depending on what happened.

Lyme, I'm sorry that lady is being crazy!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif When I run into ridiculous people who resort to name calling or are just plan stupid. I don't even both responding….Block, or Delete them. Those negative people love to argue and upset otheres, so while you may want to justify why you love pole. Is it really worth your time to bother with this person? Probably not. xoxo

Try resting a bit longer between flexibility sessions, if that doesn't help then give me a shout and we'll re-evaluate. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

You may want to look at a few things.
Are you pushing too far? Sounds like you've been stretching for a while now, so you shouldn't be sore after every time.
Are you really, really warm, I cannot stress how much this helps!
Are you also doing any running or strength building actives? These can reduce flexibility if you're not stretching well after training.
My first thought, is possible over training, if your feeling like things are just getting tighter. It's OK to take time off. Most important, listen to your body, everyone is different and we have to learn what works best for us. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifHave you looked into the lessons here? I've got some great stretches and strengthening lessons for the hands, and wrists/forearms. Stretching the hands and forearms after each practice is so very important. There are a lot of things you can do with your pole to strengthing as well.
Beautiful horse btw!
