Here…nothing crazy they the others on that thread….this is why I love SV ladies your not nutso! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Put up that pole and have fun!I am a happily married mother of 4 boys. I have 3 poles up in my home…a pole outside in my back yard, one in my bed room and another set up in what was our living turned studio!!! I am the owner of the worlds largest online pole dancing website…..I have been an ACE certified personal trainer for about 9 yrs and POLE DANCE is the BEST workout I have ever done!! Pole combines Strength, cardio and flexibility and if you choose, you can get your sexy on but its not a must! I respect all forms of pole dance…ART, ATHLETIC and EXOTIC.
My kids play on my poles all the time, we have even done a dance together! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vCkyjxm1Hk My kids watch me practice some times, to them its a piece of exercise equipment…I just keep the sexy stuff for me time. Its your home…hiding the pole will only make it seem more devious than it really is!! We use CHAIRS for sexy lap dances and sexual chair routines but we don’t hide all of our chairs in the house because SOME people do naughty things with them. LOL Its all about your perception. I chose not to hide what I do, there is no reason to. Pole dancing moms ROCK!
Its a pole and its not a big deal.

Not really its more a matter of the hands getting use to the new load your asking them to take on…it will get better. Also be sure your only poling every other day not every day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It is normal and will get better as you become stronger and lose the "death grip" hold. Here are some tips that may help.
Warm up the hands…sometime we only think of warming our bodies but we rely heavily on our hands!
Stretch the hands/forearms after your pole session… if your taking the online lessons here is the vid
http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/3222Work on strengthening the hands off the pole. Here is a lesson for that as well

Honestly …..when things are really difficult and seem to be impossible to accomplish, well…those have been the decisions that turned out the best. Settling for the easiest option isn’t always best. I see "road blocks" as a sign that I should keep pursuing what I had planned…the reward is usually even better than I had expected. Don’t wait for your man if he can’t help…where there is a will there’s a way, you can make it happen!!!! Go for it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

For the floor body roll, remember your really moving the spine ….try to only envision moving up the spine one vertebra at a time not the shoulders themselves. Its not going to be a huge movement at first but you should feel it move all the way up the spine to the neck. At the top of the movement your chest will be slightly off the floor, because your rounding the top portion of your upper spine. You can try it against the wall standing as well. It may help to remember to inhale during the beginning of the move and then exhale as you roll though the movement. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

If your taking the lessons here are the new vids for these moves
CAR http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2426
CKR http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2415
Its totally understandable to have a fear of lowering yourself back so don’t feel bad about that.
here are some tips for these moves
Work on your planks first, some find this helpful others find planks easier after learning CAR/CKR
find your Points of Contact from the floor first
be sure your pole and your body is very warm so you have maximum grip, this can make a HUGE difference (sounds like you are tho, if your skin feels like its ripping) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif It will get better and thats normal!!!
try going into the move from a pole sit
Tip the legs up towards the ceiling FIRST then lower the upper body down
Go back slowly….walk your hands down the pole
You can do it good luck!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

yes I have danced in a corset its not easy….it really limits your ability to invert and bend and even more important breath!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif I have however started off wearing one then took it off when I was ready to get down to the more difficult moves, it also gives you a chance to catch your breath while you take it off. If you go with the corset find one that only has a few hooks so it doesn’t take too long to undo it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Depending on how they are made the higher shoes can be easier to dance in. It really depends on the brand though. If they have a nice wide base for the ball of the foot your good to go, but some of them get narrow or have a funny curve to the bottom where the ball of the foot goes and they feel really unstable no matter what height they are. Lots of times the higher the shoe the smaller the angle is of the foot making it feel more stable. The reality is though, the higher the shoe the farther your fall and more likely you’ll twist your ankle, so take it slow. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

Hand placement is important, placing them too high will make this spin much harder.

I had damaged my unlnar nerve my 3rd month into poling….not pole related ( i was sewing and banged my "funny bone" into the back of a chair" My fingers were numb for over 5 days) so I went to the dr. They told me it was nerve damage. They did some test to see how quick the nerves were reacting. I had to stay off the pole and away from over stressing it for a month. Killed me!!! It still flares up some times if I bump it or something during floorwork or on a chair again. I was told by the dr if my fingers didn’t regain feeling soon I may need surgery, but it ended up fine. Not much can be done for nerves….rest!!!! I also wore a stiff elbow brace so I wouldn’t inadvertently bang it or bend it. I just took it really slow when I started to feel better and it was fine. It only affected my fingers….and using my triceps heavily was out until the nerve had settled down. The inflammation had to go down so the never could slide through the "tunnel" without irritation. So don’t lean on the elbow or sleep with it bent avoid things that are repetitive and stressing until its better. Light stretching is good…or so I was told. Don’t stress… it killed me to stop dancing for 5 weeks but its worth it if it meant I can pole now.
One last thing, A yr after my injury I saw a great massage therapist that was super helpful with releasing the fascia more around the nerve maybe something you might want to look into, just make sure they know what their doing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
