If stretching turns into pole play or if I decide to hoop, I will not be able to sleep. Even when I do some more advanced, strenuous stretches, I need about 2 hrs to relax before I can actually go to bed and sleep. Sometimes when I really advance in a stretch that night I'll be on a bit of a high and can't sleep either. lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Beginner2, don't feel like you have to cut those things out of your videos. We aren't picky! I don't mind if a video is totally uncut… and we all make mistakes! So don't feel like you have to edit. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Everyone is totally right, anyone can enjoy pole dance. I also say X pole would be your best option for poles if you will me moving often. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If your competing and can't hold the jade flat, I would opt for the Half Jade instead. So tuck the (gripping) leg and work on extending the free leg until flat. Also if your performing it for people who have never seen pole dance, you could just hold the not flat jade and it would be impressive! If your doing it for a comp then it should be flat! But doing a jade for fun? …… then how flat it is doesn't matter. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

It's super important to take care of your forearms. Warming up the hands/forearms and then stretching the flexors and extensors after every pole session can help prevent carpel tunnel and other injury. If you're on the computer a lot, stretching throughout the day is important too. I don't have any stretches for free posted anywhere, (those are in the lessons) but here is a video I did a few years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8QzZnFkXn8 Going to a Dr or specialist due to an injury that could be prevented isn't cheap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Are you doing any exercises to strengthen your forearms and hands? The pole moves themselves seem to come very naturally to you so that's great. But it takes time to really build up true strength in some area's. I don't think your hands are too small. Most of the Pro's are tiny!!!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Target!

Yep, my steamer is what I use now, also I have been doing a long warm up with hooping and lot's of floor work to make sure my skin is warm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
Well I love using mine when it’s humid, because my skin is normal to dry. I wouldn’t worry though a dancer can learn to work with any finish really 🙂

I still have to give this one a try, seems like fun!

Amy has a good point! If you have the lessons check this one out. I'll show both the partial/half split grip and full split grip holds. Aerial bodywave: https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d2f086d-9d38-4e2f-8f09-0b800ac37250

The titanium gold is very grippy…BUT if you tend to sweat you might find you'll slip!! I use the TG xpole (it's my fave!!!) and it's great if you live in a colder climate and don't sweat much. If you have sweaty hand slippage on the Chrome you'll more than likely have it with the TG. So if your trying to work around sweaty hands Brass might be the better option. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

There are good and bad studios, and anyone can open up a studio and call themselves a pole instructor. So, if you have access to a studio that has quality instruction that's always great! There are many studios around the world that suggest their students sign up for my lessons here in addition to taking studio classes. This allows students to continue pole training out of studio. There're also studios who have modeled their teaching after my methods (strength first, spins are NOT beginner moves). On Studioveena, you'll find quality instruction that's easy to follow! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I developed the Veena method and designed the lessons so an "at home" learning experience can absolutely have a great success rate! As far as feedback, you can always contact me, either on the lesson your having trouble with, by leaving a comment, or by sending me an email. Also I'll gladly meet you in the chat room to video cam with you and help you out! Sometimes members post videos to the site, asking myself and the members for trouble shooting advice. It's not like learning from a DVD, because you can get help if you need it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oliviiaa….There is no point in posting such hateful opinions. Please privately address whatever issue you have with Pink Pole Power. It's fine to disagree but there is no need to be nasty.
-
I don't see any purpose to posting negative opinions…..If you have an issue with someone please contact that person to work it out.

You reduce your risk of injury by having an adequate warm up. Cardio, or conditioning/strength exercises are great warm ups. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Just stretches alone not, so much. The biggest thing to remember about a warm up is to move move move! Hooping is my favorite warm up right now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi and welcome back!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif If you have a pole at home the lessons here are perfect for beginners and those who are looking to get back on the pole! I have placed them in a specific order, allowing you to build much needed strength! A lot of polers have been off the pole for long periods of time and managed to get their groove back!! You can too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yep Maurer rose, the Reverse Handstand is a great way for those who can't invert yet to work on inverted moves! Here is the link https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f7c4b250-b91e-11df-856f-001b214581be https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I think sometimes we feak ourselves out by over thinking. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_geek.gif Like others have suggested, practice, practice! When you listen to your favorite music close your eyes and try to picture how you would dance to it. Do this often and before you dance. This is something I do constantly! lol Then, before you actually start to dance, try telling yourself to relax, take a deep breath and picture that "dance" you saw in your head.
Tricks will fit into your dances once you have become VERY comfortable with the trick. If a trick is iffy on it's own, it wont flow well in a dance.

Hi Spekky, I know there are a few girls who have outdoor poles, so hopefully they will see this post! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

LOL Tigger!
Hi Cami! Tiggertail is right don't stress too much about it. I would pick 2-3 of the lap dance moves you really love and are comfortable with (you don't want to kick him in the head!) and work with those moves. As Tigger said, pick a song you love and just go with it. If you get lost just spank your booty. LOL If your taking the online pole dance lessons, try looking as some of the floorwork too for ideas! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
