Any will do, but a higher density roller will last longest. 😊

I don’t know the name but I think this is the same move? I enter into it from a cartwheel mount.

No need to rush you’ve got the right idea enjoying your journey! 💗

Bummer! Well it’s not nearly as good as the lessons here, but I do have a section of Tutorials, tips and Demos on my YT account…most of them are on my SV profile too if you’d rather watch them on the site. 🙂

It sounds like you just need some structure to follow. Maybe look for local studios who teach pole work in a progressive way, building up your strength. I also have the 30 day take off program that will do the same. Most things worth while are never super easy. 🙂

You can use a spinning pole at any level 🙂 I do usually suggest learning new moves on a static pole. I like to teach static spins first as well, not because they are better, or easier, just because the mechanics of static spins are a bit more challenging to learn if you have only used a spinning pole.
Lucca is right using a very skinny pole for spinny is helpful giving a more secure hand grip for most people. Here’s a video with tips for using spinny poles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0

Why would you say you suck? Fear is something that will hold anyone back from learning anything and it’s not uncommon at all! Instead of saying to yourself I hope I don’t fall or I can never get this, this is hard, change your perception to….I can learn this I will do this. Write it down and read it out loud before pole practice. Do you have the lessons? If so you can pole climb once then repeat like I demonstrate, this will allow you to continuously climb without going higher. 💜

It is not surprising that you find walking into spins gives you an easier time. A walk creates more momentum, so you can often just muscle through a spin, however it can increase your risk of injury! The concern with doing spins from a walk first would be if you don’t have the strength to hold your body weight. You should be able to do a pole hold and climb before you do walking static spins that are considered Intermediate. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal until you find yourself with a wrist, elbow or shoulder injury.

Living in an RV means my stage pole is below the RV, in a storage space, and all the rest are in a storage unit waiting for me!! Sometimes I can find space for my stage pole outside when we are staying at a campground. I REALLY miss dancing on a floor!!!

Hmmm Shoogstandley, the camel is for the most part a mobility for the back/spine ‘stretch’, the reverse trunk twist is a strengthening exercise. You will have to ask for a stretch that he feels you can perform safely with your tendency to be hyper mobile. If you naturally overextend your back, then skip that part all together.
Have you looked in to working on the posture portion of this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3V_2DsxgE

You could try recording yourself to see of you are doing it correctly as well.
