Pink….If you could post a video of yourself it would be easier to see what is going on. But with what you have said I'll give you these tips.
If your doing it from the floor you have to come up high on to the shoulders…. as high as you can, so get yer butt up there lol. If your too low it will be harder to get the right position for the legs. Then remember for both the CKR and CAR the upper thighs need to be in contact with the pole… as in fully tipped UP towards your body before you lift. Chances are its a placement issue and not lack of strength. You can do it!!
Remember you can always post a question directly on the lesson as well and I will get back to you asap! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Yeah, there are times when the husband does get jealous of all the dancing/vids I do for others. But when it gets to be night time I don't feel like dancing I'm tired and just want to rest! LOL He spends more time on FB that me so he can't complain about that!

Yes go to Poletential!!! When I lived in San Fran I went there to play once in a while and the ladies there are great!!!!

I only TG off the pole also and mostly from one side. I have a shoulder I need to be careful with so I don't do any TG moves with it. I totally feel we should try to learn all moves on both sides if our bodies are capable.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

I just read your post again and saw your not happy with the amount of beginner moves….I should add if your taking the online lessons Savy….don't forget to include the strength building exercises. The strength building and beginner lessons add up to 85 lessons you can choose from!!

Holly….you can do any challenge at anytime. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif So if there are some you have missed feel free to do it. Just be sure to label the video with the month so we all know what challenge it's for.

@ Savyhomeowner The problem with the boomerang is not so much that you might fall…..its also a matter of possible poor arm positioning causing injury to the shoulders, elbow or wrist this along with inadequate strength this can cause many new dancers troubles.

@ Spiltsugar…..the old photos will not be high quality….try uploading a photo to the new site and it should be fine.

You could try placing your free hand on your hip.

Love all the work you have put in to this Mr Webmaster. Its a site like NO OTHER!!!

Glad your enjoying the lessons https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Yes we all have different body shapes and shorter dancers can look like they have bigger muscles, your just more compact! I would love to have a build like that but I’m an ectomorph build so naturally my muscles look long and I’m stick like. lol You can still have beautiful lines with a shorter body type….just think of trying to extend out through your fingers and toes! Like your shooting energy out from them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Lonely….
Have been off of my pole for far to long https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif

How long have you been dancing and how often are you dancing? If your taking the lessons you might want to try out the Pole Shoulder Press. Its a toughy! http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2192

Do you guys turn out when you extend your legs or are you trying to keep the perfectly straight? Depending on the move turning the leg out (knee cap points to the outside) can look a lot cleaner than trying to keep the leg straight (knee cap up) Also strong hip flexors Iliopsoas are needed as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
If your doing workouts in addition to pole that build muscle like weight training, squats, PX90 ect and not stretching well during and after EVERY workout you can end up feeling very tight. When I lift weights I stretch in between and after every set, especially legs!! Then for a good half hr or longer I stretch some more after my workout. Things like sitting for a long time will also tighten you right up. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Active stretching and PNF stretching are good ways to strengthen the muscles while stretching them. Working on strength moves like Leg lifts http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2224 with a focus on control and lengthening can help. If you focus on extending the legs in various positions while dancing it can really strengthen quite well while also stretching the muscle. Do either of you have a pic or vid of your leg extensions that you dislike…it may also not be as bad as you think!!

Never compare your progress against someone else….it will always make you feel bad.
Think about why your pole dancing.. Is it for fitness, fun, or do you want to compete? If its for fitness or just for fun then there is nothing wrong with not progressing up into intermediate or advance pole work. But hoping to compete is a whole other story. Then you must work on strength and flexibility off the pole as well. Trust me when I kick into high gear for my poling I hit the gym and yoga mat more than the pole!! It would also take far more time than the average person has to be a competitor. There is nothing wrong with pole dancing for fun or to just challenge YOURSELF!!!!!
Remember that not ALL moves can or should be done by ALL pole dancers. Someone who never inverts is still a pole dancer!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I would be curious what the competitors or performers do as well. Other than jumping around and doing lunges and such I don’t know how you would warm up for a performance. Warm ups for practice purposes are a whole other thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Be careful when trying to learn from just pictures or short clips with no instruction of any kind https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif I have designed my lessons to build pole specific strength!! There IS reasoning behind the Veena method I created for the order of the lessons and levels…… There are things new dancers even with strength should avoid!

Split grips (like the pic with the girl in a V leg position) are NOT beginner moves. I don’t like a lot of the expertvillage tutorials they can be really poorly executed and the info is not always the safest. Tho some are great.
Here are videos I have made that might help you understand more where to start…..
