I teach is with a SLIGHT curve. I’ve seen others teach to arch the back, I personally feel that’s not the best option because it makes engaging the abs difficult therefore, it could place unnecessary stress on the low back. If you take a look at the still shot of the lesson video I shared you’ll see my back isn’t arched or rounded. The movement for the legs comes from the hips not the waist, however, I do have you holding a SLIGHT C shape with the low back, it should not be over exaggerated or round the whole spine pulling the shoulders forward, but just enough to help tuck the bum and engage the abdominals. It’s addressed in the lesson if you have them. 🙂

A lot of women just cross their ankles instead 🙂

You can never go wrong by listening to your body, for now you could try foam rolling or using a tennis ball on the area that seems tight. Be sure you’re fully warmed up when you do stretch. If the sensation doesn’t go away talk with a DR. 🙂

Yes, unless there’s a big gap is not a problem. 🙂

First I do not suggest using the twisted grip, over time this can be harmful to the shoulder, elbow or wrist, for some people it can be fine, but as an instructor I say use this grip as a last resort. If you have the ability to hyper extend at the elbow, moves with a twisted grip or split grip should be done with care, being sure the NOT lock out the joint, because again over time this is too strenuous and may cause injury. To avoid overuse injury limit your attempts to 10 times or less and no more then 3 times a week. You may feel you have to try this move everyday or for a whole session, but in the end you could end up with tendonitis or other common poler issues.
I can see in your pic that the legs are coming directly down in line with the torso, this makes holding very difficult. Instead you want to think of keeping the lower leg pointing forward, towards one wall (both legs still in V) and upper leg pointing far back, towards the opposite wall this will twist the hips and make holding the pose much easier, the wider you can split the easier it will be to hold as well.

Nope, it’s not wrong, it’s tipping either way that helps lock you into place. 😊

She has amazing skill to be able to spin at that speed, I see many strippers that do not point their feet. I would hate to think she would see this thread and think we are nitpicking. We all have our strengths, mine is not spinning that fast!! Lol

Yes, as PFM said I have all of these moves in the lessons, the only one I don’t is the no hands cradle. Could always be added tho! All you need is a wicked fast spinning pole and control of your moves. 🙂 Fun video to watch tho!
