Mine would be the True grip X, Adv Ballerina, and I made some great progress with my handstands and back mobility!

Oh and btw, Veena means "A musical Instrument" this is perfect because when I dance I feel as though my body is the musical instrument.

This is great!
OK lyme lyte, this is for you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I used the name Veena for my alias on my first Sinbabylk Youtube account. I was only weeks into pole dance and wasn't sure if I wanted anyone to know my real name. When I started the website, I decided I should stick with the name Veena so my Youtube fans could remember the websites name. There's a bit more to this story…..The name Veena, had come from an amatuer night I once participated in. This was before I knew people could pole dance at home, and before I ever started pole dancing. Anyway, I had to come up with a stage name that night. I'm awful with thinking up names, but I had the Neena and Veena belly dance dvds and the name Veena sounded so pretty. It reminded me of my favorite color purple, so I went with that!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I like the thought of classic but I’ll need your help everyone! I’m awful with song names.
-
Ahh i see…do what you feel comfortable with. Some moves will come easier for certain dancers so it’s ok to give more advanced moves a try. I’ll tell you if you need to have mastered a previous move in the lesson if it’s nessisary 🙂

Here is the first Upper body lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4efc8e72-b3a0-49fa-bea0-3d490ac37250

Yes, the lessons are in order and there are "getting started" lessons for each section. These will give you tips and help you plan your workouts. If English isn't your first language you can take a look at the descriptions for each lesson and translate that. In the discription I list how often to perform certain exercises and again, provide tips for setting up a workout routine. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

The first upper body will go up tomorrow!

Polefairy, I have never used a 40mm, but I have used a smaller 38 and liked it. There's some adjustment when performing some leg grips (not all) things like the adv Ballerina are much easier on a smaller pole! I really never use my 50mm poles anymore. I plan on getting the 40mm at some point. I think you would like it.
-
Hi Riddle, to answer the question you asked…… I would contact Xpole they should be able to give you more info on the availability of the new 40mm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oh something to try if your body and climate is cold and dry… A humidifier. I used my fabric steamer the other day on my pole ( to clean it ) and then left it running in the pole room and used it a bit on my body ( holding it far away so I didn’t get a steam burn ) but it worked so well. Lol

Yummy homemade fudge!!! Happy holidays to you!!
-
Yeah, I think there is something about doing things in front of other, gets our adrenalin going! Also at home we tend to jump on the pole without warming up the pole or our bodies and that doesn’t help! I can always lift heavier weights at the gym than at home.

AdministratorDecember 23, 2011 at 8:55 pm in reply to: Upright Split Grip preparation/conditioningWhat moves are you looking to use the split grip for? If its for spins… regardless of the bottom hand placement, you want most of the weight on the top arm. Like PFM said engage the scapula. The bottom hand is just there to keep you moving away from the pole really, not to hold you up.
If your looking to do static holds check out this lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d2f086d-9d38-4e2f-8f09-0b800ac37250 and start with the partial split grip first, this will allow you to use the biceps too, putting less stress on the shoulder and wrist.
Conditioning for all split grips would include: shoulders, wrists, and hands. There are lessons that focus on all of these areas in the conditioning section. The descriptions list the muscle groups used and all muscle groups are listed together. 🙂 climbs (all variations) are one of the best strength builders so work on theses as well.

AdministratorDecember 21, 2011 at 10:09 am in reply to: Pole Dancing with a disability……any tips?You could try using spin mode instead of static for spins, this would allow you to grip the pole with the elbow too. You couldn't perform every spin this way but there would be some nice options for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hopefully someone will have experience with this and weigh in…..
I can tell you, I would be far more impressed with a future employee dressing well than if someone shows up in pole gear, or jeans. When I was interviewing for personal training jobs I always dressed up. I would bring some pole clothes with you and leave them in the car, so if you need them your covered. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
