My dad is hearing impaired, has been my whole life. DedeJoy has wonderful suggestions.
I'll add……Don't worry about making the student feel bad by turning the music down to describe moves, because…… I bet everyone would understand a bit better without blasting music.
Don't forget to speak slowly, not crazy slow but don't rush or mumble. When I talk with my dad I have to keep my voice strong but not shouting either.
Facing the person is a big one. If I don't face him he wont understand at all. I use a lot of facial expressions and gestures, to get my point across.
After class you could privately ask the student if there is anything else that would make their class time better.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If you want to send me an email I could help you come up with a personalized plan. It would be a lot of back and forth questions so email might be easier than on the discussion board. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

How long have you been pole dancing and training 3 days a week on pole with strength training? Are you taking your rest days and staying off the pole? Have you tried not using any grip aids, not everyone needs them and they could cause blisters. Are you also saying you do strength training and cardio on your non pole days?

Try taking a look at the new aerial invert lesson. This will give you some more tips and exercises that can be done to also help with the chopper!!!

I’m here! Lol

You've come to the right place! The lessons here are designed to teach the beginner who has never touched a pole, to more advanced students. Everything is placed in order so you progress by building strength first. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Lol

Sensual is right…Spins on smaller poles are easier on the joints too. At least for me. You'll feel like you can hold on forever! You'll have to adjust a bit to either size so I say, go with which ever you like. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I would suggest working on this from the floor first…then move on to descending from the pole. This will allow you to mess around with the placement of the leg while safely on the floor! If either of you are taking the lessons here is the link, it will show you how to try it from the floor. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4caf25bf-69d8-4029-94d5-42540ac37250

Nothing wrong with doing it that way! I use that grip in the lessons as an exit… I call it a "V out" (a slow descending in V) You're not imagining it being easier to hold either, it's one of my favorite ways to descend from V. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

So Sorry to hear that Senrysa. Hugs

I have online lessons here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Everyone has good advice! And yes if you're taking the lessons this will help you out. The foot doesn't take all of the pressure, the legs and arms do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I would think body rolls ( I like to body roll eveyrthing from shoulder mounts to handstands ) and crawling are ones that men like. Everyone seems impressed by splits of all kinds. But I think guys tend to not be too impressed by crazy strength tricks or anything with a big difficulty level….cuz they just don't care how hard that move was. lol Boys! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

If you have spin mode option…..if it doesn't spin very freely (when on spin mode) …as in, if it catches, as it turns, then it's too tight.
-
Yep the farther in front of the pole you can get the better!

Welcome LittleJem and Mazpink!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I think it's a great idea….I'm gonna be super busy for a while so please remind me that this will be the challenge. Thanks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
-
Yep I just posted a routine that can help you reach this goal 🙂

@ sensualscimitar…remember that X pole, is always updating and improving so just because you had a problem doesn't mean the next person will.

In studio or at home you should always stay within your ability. I think is great when studio's focus a little less on advanced tricks and more on quality movement and expression, (I know some will disagree) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif But anyway, there are also tons of things that can be done without needing to invert, so that's always an option.
Also it seems, that if you worry about something happening it will absolutely hold you back. That being said, I never try anything that I'm not 100% sure of when I dance alone. What may be comfortable for one person to do along may be terrifying for another.
On another note, spending energy on worrying about what could happen has no benefit (but it's common!) Pole dance is just as much mind as body. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It will vary from person to person, but yep, it's totally normal to feel like your body needs time to adjust. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif In the lessons, I have you working on inversions from the ground first for example, elbow and reverse handstand against a wall or pole. It can also help to find a point to focus on when your inverting. For some the pole works as a point, you could use the ceiling, or even a spot behind you depending on what you're doing. I think a lot of new "inverters" tend to close their eyes and hold the breath, so that can make it more disorientating. It'll get better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I totally agree that not all moves are suitable for all students. It is important for both student and teachers to be realistic and what may seem harsh to one person my not to another.
