Make sure that your hands are nicely warmed up before you work on the cartwheel. You could also try stretching the hand for a minute in between working on cartwheels or inverted split grips. Then make sure you give your hands, fingers and forearms a nice long stretch after dancing too. Try not to work on this too often either…..Oh and be sure that your using your "gun" grip for that lower hand…..pointer finger pointing down and along the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
If you have the lessons you can see a close up of the "gun" grip here. http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2440

Hi there, yes they are in order…..the very first lesson that pops up when you enter you should watch!! It tells you how to use the lessons and does indeed inform you that they are in order. Start with the strength training section first, then move on to beginner and so on. Be sure to watch all of the informational lessons that I have in the line up of lessons https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

This is just my personal experience and its great if the Chiro works for you….I went to chiropractors my whole childhood and into my early 20s. Low back pain and knee pain……seemed like it was only a temporary fix. I would get better, then, move wrong or whatever, and back to pain again. Not until I started weight training did I have relief from my low back and knee pain. I have not seen a Chiropractor since. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I’m a firm believer in stretching and strength work. A nice balance between strength and flexibility makes sense to me. If your having chronic pain working with a Physical Therapist might be a better bet. Massage is great too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Ohhh I love feather fans or boas! I use X mas light and you could also swap out the regular bulbs for red or purple ones. Ummmm You could keep a dry erase board in your pole room too, then you can write down what you want to work on for the day or week. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

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

awww you don’t have to feel bad Empy, I don’t think anyone was upset. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.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.
Basic butterfly http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2470
Butterfly http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2472

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

Welcome!! Check out the New 2 Pole section on our forum. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.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.
