I just finished recording about 25 spin lessons. Some are up dated lessons and some are brand new….more will be added in the future as well. If your looking to build strength, working on various Climbs, holds and the strength section would be helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Maybe suggest he go off and do something he loves while you practice. Just be honest about your needing some alone time to practice, its hard learning new moves! If he say’s he wants to watch, then let him know you’ll dance for him sometime, sexy or not. Whatever you are comfortable with. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Midwest Pole Jam how fun!!
LOL Glitter, I’m sure they didn’t mean to confuse anyone with the title.
Empyrean, the impromptu SV pole jam was for anyone to join in, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif calling it a SV pole jam would never mean only members are welcome. Not sure why there’s assumption I would be so exclusive. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif It was last minute and was posted on FB but not as an event….my pole jam was just a free, fun, get together because I was coming back for a visit. In fact, not all who attended were members.
Just checked out the info looks like a lot of invites were sent out, should be fun for you all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I left you a comment on the vid. The girls are right about twisting the torso. You want to keep the shoulders and hips square..THEN as your moving into extended butterfly you can turn the torso.

Your not wrong about the legs taking on a most of the power in the caterpillar. Keep on using those legs, having a nice strong grip with the legs will allow you to position your hand more easily for other moves like extended butterfly for example. Play around with the spacing of the grip…try spreading the hands farther apart or closer. To use inverted split grips, you also need to have a strong shoulders, chest and back, think of your arms as extensions of the chest and back. Don’t rely on only arms. I don’t know if your taking the SV lessons but the straight edges and butterflies are easiest to hold if your caterpillar is strong. That way your moving into those moves with a nice high/booty in the air, caterpillar with the torso off to the side. Not directly in front of the pole. Most moves just take some time to click! You’ll get it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

KC…I don’t have the Air invert posted yet in the lessons, it is coming along with tons of others but…..to work up to it….work on your tuck invert. Focus on lifting the legs up without any added swing of the legs. Also I hold my arms slightly lower for an air invert so you can try that as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

If loosening doesn’t fix it I would call X pole…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
If the spin mode on the X pole is stiff or slow, chances are your pole is too tight. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I think its great…a pole is just an object…. and we can make it as nasty or wholesome as we want.

As far as spotting goes, I really haven’t thought about it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Its very important that you have a great amount of control when you SM then you can work on the flip SLOWLY. My first SMF I was squatting and working on it from way down low. Stay tucked in a ball when you start. Also, I didn’t began working on the Shoulder flip until I had become very comfortable with all of my Shoulder moves, I have I few variations I teach in the lessons. I think the super invert is the most important to be comfortable with. This is when you SM and hold the position like so
This is the grip I use for the Shoulder Flip https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif It gives you a lot of control at the top of the move.

I don’t change my approach at all to sit on the pole……To sit on the pole instead of land beside you really need control over the descend then you can slow it down enough to do a pole sit. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif I would use the Veena grip to avoid getting your arms all twisted.

ohh that reminds me…Here an old vid of my practicing the SM Flip……I’m using the basic/cup Grip….there is slow motion for ya too. If your trying it for the first time start way lower on the pole…I was aiming for height in this video. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif wheeeee.
-
I use the Veena grip…I think Jenyne called it the flip grip when she saw me do it. Lower arm holds the pole as you would for a basic SM grip, the top arm is in front of the pole not behind. I do this hold often in my vids and teach it in the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Your body is warm….that helps a ton, even on a cold pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I would see a physical therapist….you may just need to strengthen one area and or, stretch another to keep things in working order. I have always funky hips and I have found that as long as I’m sure to stretch in all angles, I have no troubles. Remember hips have far more motion than just flexion and extension. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

As long as your comfy with your gemini, trying it from that move is totally fine, and some find it easier…I demonstrate it from the floor/standing because your less likely to fall. Also, if you look close at the lesson I’m not crossing at the ankle….just the tops of my feet lock together, by the toes. I have always had difficulties trying to actually cross at my ankles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
