Hi there! Welcome. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Chem, what did you mean by ankle rotations? Was I sickling my feet you mean?
-
Awwww thanks Chem! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif I do have other sexy vids from my earlier pole days but I only posted them here for the most part (unless they were a SV challenge) until recently. They were not nearly as polished though. "lick" is one that some of the first Veeners might remember.
I use to worry about what other dancers would think and didn't want my videos to be flagged or pulled off YT. But I am reaching the point where I no longer care what anyone thinks and its been great, not easy, but great!! !
I honestly feel sexier with short hair (I hate having hair in my face) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif but I want a change so I'm trying to grow it out and in doing so I'm trying to learn to "work with it" when poling. My hair grew long when I was pregnant and I danced only a few times with it long and then chop it off, it was in the way. LOL Sooooo I'm hoping I can hold out and grow it long again. But maybe I'm like Samson and instead of strength from long hair I get sexiness LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Thank you, branquinha, JeHanne and Sarahrel too!!! I hope everyone shares this one with theirs female friends because I really do want women to take time to find their sensual side! As I have continued on my pole journey I realize more and more how important the "sexy" side of pole really is. It can be just as beneficial as the sporty/fitness side…its good for the soul https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi welcome!!! The ladies have some great suggestions. I wanted to add that if your looking to learn at home I have the lessons here all organized in the order in which you should work on them. I start you off with strength building moves first. There are also conditioning, flexibility lessons and routines. Each section has a "getting started" lessons that explains how often you should perform the exercises and gives you other great tips. If you have questions on a lesson you can leave a comment right on that lessons and I'll get back to you with help. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
As for shoes I always suggest working with bare feet first, then move on to doing things on the ball of the foot, then heels. Here is a sample of a lesson
Pole sit https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/example_view/18f0621c-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be
Butterfly https://www.studioveena.com/user_registrations/example_view/4cd0054b-9630-42dd-9748-057f0ac37250 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

This is a move that will take time to find the right positioning for your body….getting flat is the hardest part, keep playing around with the different entries…I find the entry where you tuck the overhead knee to the chest first the best for getting a nice flat secure jade. I would post a vid so everyone can see what your doing. Could be a simple placement issue. Can you do a half jade with the top knee tucked into the chest?

ahhh woops wrong spin….the Rockstar is at 2:40 sorry about that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=php2HBPff8Q&feature=channel_video_title
-
You can do both on either spin or static. The entry however will be different!!!! You have to use momentum and timing to do ANY kind of spin on a static pole….spins on a spinny pole are just holds https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
I just posted a vid with the rockstar in it on STATIC you can even see it from 2 angles if your interested its around min 1:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=php2HBPff8Q&feature=channel_video_title

Awww!! The members here are wonderful!!

The spinning scorpio is different…its like a spinning V aka spinning chopper, but your in scorpio position. I do have a Gemini Scoprio Switch Lesson…https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4ce15e37-17d0-4712-8af4-6c7b0ac37250 but it doesn't included the spin part.

Is this what your talking about? https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/d650d9e6-c3b4-11df-bc90-001b21721e0c Keep in mind this is NOT the normal quality of the lessons here its kinda crappy quality. Its just a quick freebie I did for some members a few yrs ago. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

@ Reality, if you have questions on any of the lessons please feel free leave a comment asking for help if you need too and be sure to start with the first lesson. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi, Reality https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif have you work on moves to build up strength first before moving on to spins? Also can you do half spin variations? I do not consider spins to be beginner moves so don't feel to frustrated if they seem too difficult at first. If your taking studio lessons ask your instructor to give you some exercise to strengthen the necessary muscle for spins. If your taking the online lessons here then make sure your starting from the beginners section, the Veena Method starts you off with strength buiding moves first then we move on to spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi Coleslaw.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Did you watch this video "Tips for Success"? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/did-bf68-46c6-9306-11770ac37250 Also, you can find more information on structoring your pole workouts in all of the "Getting started videos" You'll find these videos at the beginning of each section, they contain important info. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
I know you said you have been poling for a few yrs now but I would still suggest starting with the strength and stretching for the first few weeks and then… try moving on to transitions and beginner pole work on your 3rd week. This would give you something structured to follow. Remember the lessons are set up for you to use them in the order in which they are listed…even the stretches.
One of the most important things you can do is keep a log to track your progress and to track what you would like to do or have done. Once things are written down you can make sure that you have the rest days you need.
I'm sure others will have some great ideas as well.

Have you tried the stretches for the back in the lessons yet? I personally use all of these to improve my back mobility ( I do not have natural back mobility ). The stretches I have are perfect for beginners because I provided detailed instruction on proper placement. There is also a nice stretch towards the end of the side splits routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e23973c-e724-4d0a-9b2e-79650ac37250 that is great for the bac and hip flextors. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Welcome to both of you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif…Joalex I'm so happy your enjoying the lessons https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you see a video you like be sure to click the "add to favorites" button this will put the vid in your favorites allowing you to find it faster https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

If your just getting into stretching then only work on these a max of 2 times a week (if your doing them on the same day). If you do them separately then do each routine once a week, to start.
If you have been working on flexibility for a while, feel free to work on the routines every other day.
If you find your sore or if your loosing flexibility then give yourself more time in between (also be sure your fully warm and not over stretching).
The end pose your talking about is that the pull though? If so its advanced so if its not comfortable yet skip it. The most important thing is to listen to your body. More is not always best when it comes to working out or increasing flexibility. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
There is not average time frame every body is different so as long as your seeing progress then your doing great! xoxo Keep us posted!

Happy Birthday https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Use the outfits to make videos! I think we pole dancers appreciate each others fun outfits more than our partners do anyway! LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Don't thank me, thank Descalzada! Her post (shown below) inspired the idea! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I would like to see a "No Disclaimers" challenge … a month of posting any/all videos without the usual disclaimers "Well, it's really not good, cuz I was tired/sick, and I'd already been practicing for X hours, after not practicing for days/weeks, and my leg/back/arm/etc was sore …"
C'MON, ladies! if you can't say something nice about yourself, say nothing at all!!!
