MissChiefNYC I hope the sit has gotten better for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Beginner moves should not necessarily be easy. Spins are easy to catch on to but that doesn’t mean they are safe for beginners to work on. In the Veena method, Strength building is first even though some moves will be harder to master than say a fireman, they will prepare the body there for reducing the risk of injury. The method I use to teach a pole sit is one that should work for both thick and thin legs. When teaching it in person every single lady had gotten it the by the end of the session. I feel most beginners problems are inadequate warm ups and cold poles. Also pole climbs are not always done 2 or more in a row. A pole climb can simply be one single pull up the pole. This is what beginners work on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Yes we should always be careful…but freak accidents do happen…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif It doesn’t take a genius to judge weather or not your too close to someone who is flying around a pole and hey if a dancer tell someone to back up and they don’t!…. I do have to say, I always worry the girl will poke some guy with her shoe when I see them do up close shows for people with their feel all waving about. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif It makes me so angry that as a society we have become so sue happy though. I don’t know weather this guy was being dumb or if the dancer was just careless but come on. If is was a similar situation to yours Joni, where the dancer told the guy to back off and he didn’t well then its his problem……

Better get use to over playing porn star dancing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I happen to enjoy seeing other dancers interpretations of the same song. Most of the "overplayed" songs are all ones that will always get me itching to jump on my pole……
Ladies keep on dancing to whatever song floats your boat….. you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Thank you! I can do some belly dance but I was told by many belly dancers that I suck so I don’t think you want me teaching that yet!! Maybe if I get a change to learn more. Its a fun idea though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Aww looked like it would have been a cool vid…I couldn’t see it. Kept stalling on me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

I see that "dance to the Same song" Is a popular one….So should we do that for November and what song….. I like Porn star dancing……I know some find it a terrible song but I think its all in fun and not a big deal. What song do you guys want to do????

My first pole space was just under 8ft and I am 5′ 7 1/2" it was a challenge at times but was workable. My space now is under 9ft and it works ok. Nothing beats 10ft or higher though!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yay congrats!!!!

I see the pic you just posted Nilla! Beautiful pregnant photo! I looked pregnant for a few months also then one day I realized my belly had shrunk! I still have to fight with my abs, but it is so worth it. Enjoy that sweet little baby. Was it a boy or girl? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurf.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurfin.gif

IF your working hard on advanced move and only on one side its important to incorporate some strength training to balance out the body or start working both side of the body when you pole. Massage and stretching is the best thing for sore muscles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Be sure to click the Save button before it finishes possessing. You can still see the titles in the video reel if you click on the Video button though.

Your not weird at all though…when I first stared dancing inverts were hard for me and I could only get up on to the pole by doing a half handspring!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Look here at 1:50 ish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbW-t8Fsdvc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
hahahah !!! love the vid, too. you were awesome then, but now…. holy moly ! are you serious you could only get up in a hal handspring ? that is wild !!
Yes I am serious…..if you look at any of my first videos I never do an invert!! I didn’t realized it existed for quite sometime LOL I did shoulder mounts and half handsprings I learned the aerial invert before I realized I could do it from the ground!!! Your inverts will come….its not the be all and end all though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

Abs do play a part…but really once you have inverted up…..to hold the proper V position your upper back and arms are doing the majority of the work!! They need to be strengthened.
V Inverts take time…..you may be working on your basic invert for months before your ready to move on to the Inverted V. My V invert lesson is way down towards the end of the Intermediate section of the lessons. There are so many other moves you can be working on! The progression shouldn’t be Invert, then V invert…..that’s not going to be obtainable for most dancers. Work on Strengthening your Latissimus, Teres Major, Pectorals, Posterior Deltoids, Trapezius, Rhomboids, Biceps, Abdominals, Hip Flexors, Quadriceps all of these muscles are important for a V Invert. Having the proper hand positioning and Points of Contact with the pole and your body is also important. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif
All of the Pole climb variations and pole holds are a great ways to strengthen these muscles along with the Shoulder strength training series of lessons focusing on the scapula. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Hi and welcome! Its totally normal to feel shy about dancing in a studio setting and getting dizzy when inverting. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Doing moves from the floor against your pole or the wall, like elbowstands, reverse handstands and handstands, can be helpful. Give your body some time to adjust to the new tasks your asking it to do.
Don’t forget, if you have a pole at home you can take the online lessons here. I have designed them to take you though the correct progression to build strength for pole dancing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Its not easier just different….its a hold on spin mode. On static its give you more pole burn and takes a different approach requiring a bit more strength to hold your self up while creating the momentum to spin your body. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh so your going from a V invert then up on to the pole?
-
One thing to remember when watching her vids…..the holds are done on spin mode. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif so so pretty!!
-
Oh your saying once you get up there you don’t feel secure!! I get it now……When you invert do your knee go far past your knees or just barely?
-
Someone had posted this before and I’m glad its been brought to our attention again! Its a great site!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

You could be using more momentum to SM than you realize…..but when you go to invert your trying from a dead stop and struggling? If you could post a vid that would be helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Be sure that your placement it right on the invert…if your hands are too high or if your not close to your pole this can make inverting rough. You may just need to do some Abdominal and Scapula strengthening for your invert.

I want to know if the turning the leg trick works….So let us know Joni. I don’t know that it would work well for me. I have a very hard time rotating my leg in that direction with the leg overhead! External rotation is easier for me than internal. Random smurf… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bigsmurf.gif
