Don't feel bad at ALL! You did great! I can understand how you feel. I know my first time performing I did not do very difficult tricks. Its better to use solid moves that you feel comfortable with then bust out something where you could sip. Now you know what the conditions could be like and you'll be more prepared next time!!! Or you could just do what I did…break your foot and not use the pole at all. LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[Veena]

The girls have some great idea's! Being nice and fully warmed up before dancing and warming your pole well is soooo helpful! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I include tips for avoiding the collarbone in all of the Shoulder Lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d6bac4d-8044-4fa9-9aaa-66300ac37250 Check that your placing the pole on the traps right by the neck and not off towards the outside of the body/shoulder.

Welcome to the site! We welcome the professional and love seeing the beginning polers grow!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I agree that pointed feet, extension, lines are important….BUT….this takes time for pole dancers to learn. Many members here don't even have a dance background. The majority of members here are also new to pole and this will be something they work towards…..Keep on dancing everyone we can't all be perfect. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Pointed feet are important but I feel its more important that you all enjoy pole journey.

Remember there are routines in the lessons that may help you out as well. All the ladies have great advice. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Everyone did such a wonderful Job!!! It’s always amazing to see live pole dancing. Webmaster has everything recorded 🙂

[Veena]

I do it in this vid at around six mins in…..I prep for it differently than the girl in the previous vid. I do a tuck sit, place the arm, then open pressing with the inner thigh.

Gingercake, I didn't mean my advice was the only one you should take…I just wanted to make sure you had seen that I did respond….

[Veena]

Ginger I responded back to your this question you left on the lesson. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[Veena]

I have the cure!

Take a picture….then photo shop it! LOL That's what we see in magazines anyway. Most real woman have cellulite. I'm still self-conscious about it but I'm trying not to be. I'm thin always have been, and have cellulite. Drinking water (staying hydrated) affects it the most. It sucks, but eh, what are you gonna do….If someone doesn't like it they don't have to look at me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

If your worried about it showing in videos go with red or purple lights they hide stretch marks, scars and cellulite really well.

My first CD was Petra….a Christian group. I think I'll have to think back on the first non Christian CD, Hmmmmm. I'm sad I have been missing out on the challenges this yr. I'll have to try and catch up on them when my foot is better. 

@ amcut….I use to love big willie style LOL

@ Olivia….My lessons are OLD? lol I don't have a single lesson on the site from when we first started….I'm on my 3rd update as far as lessons and bringing dancers NEW information on moves. I literally just posted an updated lesson TODAY. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[Veena]

@ Sues, I think everyone feels that way at some point. So your not alone there! The first practice back after being off the pole tends to be terrible, at least for me anyway.

Because you have had shoulder and wrist troubles, it sounds like you may need to work on things that will build strength before you work on spins and inverts. Starting with some conditioning exercises for the wrist and shoulders, would be better than rushing into pole work. If you are taking the lessons you can find conditioning exercises for both wrist and shoulders that you might wanna check out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
