No not before….I was referring to the beginner pole moves (saying you need to do conditioning work first before pole moves) not the pole strength lessons. As a beginner you do the pole strength 3 times a week and at then end of your workout choose one or more if you want… category of the conditioning lessons. Just follow the order of the lessons adding in the conditioning at the end of a session.

I don't feel this should be considered a beginner move, so those of you who feel bad about not getting it right away don't….it takes strength. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Thanks for the great suggestions keep them coming!
This thread is a year old…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Since making this post….I have added several routines and added, transitions, new floorwork, more pole strength, more pole moves, and I'm in the process of adding the stretching and conditioning lessons I spoke about. I believe we have about 230 lessons at this point https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Our bodies are different, and so there is nothing wrong with slight differences like that leg positioning……For most I think it would be a matter of strength….. so, too bring the pole closer into the hip you'll have to use the abs to lift/tuck the legs up higher towards the torso, Changing the position of the top arm will help with that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifIf you have the lessons go take a look at it again or maybe revisit the half Cradle.

Is there a reason why you feel its wrong if the thigh is touching instead of the hip? I saw the vid and it looks fine to me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifMy only suggestion would be that you might want to try bending the top arm more so its not locked. (it looked locked or fully extended not sure if it was) This can be very stressful on the joints during the cradle. Using the bicep also allows for more control, I feel.

Its good for a beginner because its closer to the ground. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Floorwork I would do on the floor, you'll have more space that way.
I think you would be fine doing strength moves, they are closer to the pole and will create less movement then most pole moves and spins.
I believe both stages are the same size but I'm not sure….I'm about 5'8" as well, and I have no problem with the size. Both stages have legs that extend out allowing for a more stable stage.
I'm sure others will have some thought on this as well.

I would soooo wear those for hooping!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I have one and love it! They now make an X-Stage light which is lower to the ground, if your new to pole dancing I would go with that one. Here is a video of my on the stage. The pole has a bit of wiggle but that is normal because its not attached at the top.

We all go through this. I say don't worry about it, and the others have great suggestions. I know for me music makes a huge difference! Try working on things you don't normally focus on like floorwork or stretching for a while. Absents makes the heart grow fonder lol

OMG that is a crazy thing! Glad your ok https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

There are a lot of lessons here that can be done off the pole, stretching conditioning and most of the strength along with floorwork and even some transitions can be worked on without a pole. I start you off with strength training in the lessons anyway. Something like Handstands ect can be worked on by using a wall instead. The Pole Strength Routine could be done without a pole and is great for cardio and strength. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Jennasmom I have a lesson for that…all you would need to do is swtich the top hand to the chinese grip she mentioned. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/f6257610-b909-11df-856f-001b214581be

Yay I'm so happy they were ok with it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif My family is very conservative as well, and they all support me now. Was difficult for one of my sisters to understand why I would pole dance and post to youtube, but now she is ok with talking about it. My dad and mom support me and my brothers wife once told me she thinks I'm good enough to be in a Cirque du soleil show! (they had just been to Vegas) I almost fell over because she is not the kind of person to just say things to make you feel good. I was happy to see they thought of is as a performing art!!!

Practice! The more you do it the better it gets. Also make sure your not holding your breath. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Go slow and listen to your body. If its something you fear, you'll be more prone to notice any little bit of discomfort, this can make it seem worse. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

If you look at the Lesson discriptions here I also list the AKA names for moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Let them know pole dance has been a great way for many moms to get their bodies back! Pole dance is fun and it can be for everyone. I would not even mention the words exotic or stripper as Runemist suggested. But it may be nice to mention that some women find its a great way to get in touch with their feminine side.
