    I probably spend more time working on lines then I do tricks 😄

    If your interested, there are full length routines and short routines/combo in the lessons that will help you with movement and even hands and feet. It takes a lot of practice and watching others!

    Thanks Lina! I think I was able to do it right away because I had done a similar transition (in the video I posted to this link) a few years back. I just had to focus on not letting my leg hook!! I’m sure you’ll get it.

    How fun Chem, I missed this challenge on fb!

    These exercises and a LOT of practice will help! Oh and do the new lower body routine!

    Foot exercise 1 focus on the outward exercise with the band. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e316bf4-9398-4008-9184-6d820ac37250

    Foot exercise 2 This is great for flat feet. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e316bf4-9398-4008-9184-6d820ac37250

    Faye, make sure to watch the Getting started lessons at the beginning of each section and watch each of the individual stretching lessons too. They have a lot of cues for proper form. Once you are familiar with those you can start working on the flexibility routines. 🙂

    Twisted grips could have caused the pain. If it doesn’t feel better in a day or two I would lay off the TG and see a Dr.

    Very cool, I like it! I did something similar a few years back, it’s an invert into a SG straight edge. I used my leg lightly to assist in the transition but I think it could be done without the leg touching at all. I’m gonna try it the next time I practice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siso8Pl0WRY

    Hopefully that might help. And as the others said if they don’t have a solid invert down getting the positioning correct for gemini will be difficult. If they have to toe scramble to get into basic invert then have them keep at it before moving on.

    Try explaining that the hooked leg/foot isn’t pointing away from the pole (like the other free leg) but rather the leg rotates allowing them to point the foot down towards the opposite hip. The rotation is like sitting cross leg on the floor. The contact isn’t with the whole knee pit but the outer half.

    When you first start pole dancing you shouldn’t pole every day! I highly suggest taking a look at the lessons here. I have a program called the 30 day take off that is included in the lessons. It tells you what to work on each day for 30 days. Also the lessons here are placed in the order in which to perform them. I designed them to progressively build your strength while preventing overuse injury, that is common for new dancers. Here are some links to watch. 🙂

    I am using my vaulted mount as a flat mount at the moment. Are they just out of stock?
