If you do have tendonitis it's important to rest a little first, before starting to strengthen. And stop working on split grips for a while. Once inflammation has gone down then you can start to strengthen. Try some massage as well, using the foam roller can feel great. For those of you taking the lessons there are a several conditioning lessons and stretches that are important for pole dancers to use. All you need is an inexpensive fit band.
Kyrelle, a video would be helpful to see what your technic looks like…. also not every move is suitable for everyone.

Hi, welcome to the site!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifStepping out of your comfort zone is a good thing, I would go for it! A good studio will not have beginners inverting or doing high momentum spins with both feel off the floor. Instead they might focus on movement, strength training and basic pole concepts. So keep that in mind when you visit.

Not sure if you're still taking the lessons Riddle but the girls are right…..so try working on Option 2 in the shoulder hooping lesson first. Don't be afraid to round the upper back and shoulders, and really push the chest forward. Hooping isn't like pole dance where we should stay strong and neutral in the upper body, get loosy goosy and keep the knees soft too!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

A floor to ceiling pole would be best and most stable (less wiggle)…it would also allow you to do more transitions down to floorwork, than a stage pole. If your ceilings and floor are not damaged or weak, then I would go with the xpert. A stage is great for demos and using outside but they take up a lot of indoor space though!

Here are some other threads on this subject. You do want to address your studio to see what their policy is.

The thing to remember with any finish (regardless of manufacturer) is, a proper warm up will always give you the best grip. So don't over think finishes. If I stand around in a cool room and chat, I'll have trouble working with ANY finish.

I'm workin on new lessons, does that count? lol

Rixi, if you're going to do anything aggressive get the x stage, you'll have the option to add extra weight and to extend the legs IF you want. If you like spin mode, you'll have to be pretty gentle with the PS stage unless you're going to stay low on the pole.

Hello, welcome to the site!!

Adam does a great job. Because he was a pole dancer and instructor himself, he's able to direct you. We've worked together he's so funny. I think you could get some great shots by sharing the 2 hrs, but if you have a choice and want the 2 then go for it!!
-
Yay!!! So happy for both!

Welcome to the site! There are a few male pole dancers on here so you're not alone. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

We really don't know who is responsible, assuming and discussing this, makes us look no better than them. I know the truth, and anyone who knows me, knows I would have no reason to be as underhanded as whoever this is.
I simply did what I was asked to do, test and compare side by side, this was Platinum Stages idea. I could careless what pole anyone danced on, dance on a tree for all I care.

These are both common and the leg throwing is a bit old school in my opinion. Both of these can easily cause injury. However, there are ways to do assisted or partner stretching safely, but for most of us, it's not necessary. If your ever uncomfortable with what an instructor does, you always have to listen to your body, there is nothing wrong with sitting an exercise out.

Sounds like your pole may be too tight.

Congrats to all you Pole mama's!!!!!! No other exercise whipped me back into shape like pole dance.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Be sure you're taking time to focus on the core (abs AND back). After hauling around our baby belly, we tend to have poor posture. I had mid back pain until I got serious about conditioning my core. Feeding and carring baby tend to make us a bit hunchy too. LOL

@ chem. Platinum Stages DID ask us to do a side by side comparison. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

The lies and accusations against me…the whole thing is getting pretty old. Let's not beat a dead horse! I personally cannot support a company who encourages this behavior. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

This would be a good exercise to work on as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e1d9e69-f62c-4b3e-81b1-4b380ac37250

Welcome!! As everyone said, your height can be an advantage!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif The pole world is moving away from the large 50mm poles and 45mm is becoming the preferred pole. I hope you enjoy Studioveena, the members are great!
