I do not teach or consider most spins as beginner moves….unless you have been strength training or performing some other previous form of exercise that built up your muscles….otherwise, you need to build up strength BEFORE you begin to work on static spins. All of my online lessons are in an order that works for most people to progress safely and fast. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Jayjay…if you are taking the online lessons you’ll hear me say right away that your NOT resting on your head, so you may wanna go back and watch if your referring to that lesson. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

No its not a headstand…..the variation I teach is more yoga base, not gymnastics. The head is LIGHTLY touching the floor but your NOT placing pressure on your head, it all on your arms. Head up would be an advanced variation.
Jayjay…you don’t want the pressure on your head, remember you need to engage your shoulders (keep your shoulders away from your ears) and press into the floor with your hands and forearms, this will get you into the correct position for lifting back up onto the pole…..check yourself in a mirror or take a vid or pic so you can see if your in the proper position.

Hello…and welcome!! If your new to pole dance I recommend the Chrome 45mm X pole, unless you plan on only using spin mode only…..then I would get the more grippy Titanium Gold, I feel TG is too grippy for static spins which is what most beginner/intermediates like to work on. I have both finishes and love them both I like my TG for tricks and Chrome for spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I like the thought of a show….maybe even Studioveena.com would want to be part of it…..I would have to know more. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Thank you for this post….I have to agree, as women really do tend to ignore our own needs and even health, to make others in our life happy and healthy. Its not selfish to take care of yourself, eat well, exercise, get your sleep, take time to play with your kids. And if the neighbors come over unannounced and the house isn’t clean…..SO WHAT! Life short.
One thing I’m gonna add…..We all need balance in our lives, but that doesn’t mean EQUAL time for everything at all times, thats not possible!! See…. "balance" both in LIFE and the PHYSICAL act of balance, require slight and constant changes. You can not physically balance by standing perfectly still!! You must make small adjustments…..Sometimes you need to move left, to physically balance….. sometimes your kids need you more than your business needs you, for lifestyle balance…..being aware of the flow of change will help you both in your life’s balance and your physical balance on the pole! Cool huh? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
Mindy- I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. Sending your mother-in-law, healing vibs!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Thank you again for this post!

We will be having a pole jam for sure!!! I still am not sure about where though, yes kitty has offered her place, which is GREAT, but there may be a lot of guests, so were checking out other options too, plus Chris and I will be driving all over the place and would like to stay a bit closer in town. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I’ll keep you all posted.I’m thinking the pole jam will be on a Friday 19th or Saturday 20th afternoon.

Its pretty simple for me….For self expression. I get the added bonus of getting in killer shape, but I love it and fell in love with it because of how I could express the music through the use of the pole. I know it sounds kinds lame, but oh well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

Ahhh hah! I knew someone else on the site had done hot yoga! If I still lived in MN and did hot yoga I would never leave the class LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I do not like this move…….. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif This move aggravated a non pole related injury for me personally and I have heard of and gotten emails from other dancers who have injured themselves because of this move. Soooo should anyone chose to try this TG mount, I feel it should be done from an invert and NOT by kicking up into the mount. Its a really unnatural position for the top arm to begin with, and adding the force of a kick and the jerking on the limbs that can result, means you can VERY easily injure yourself. If you have troubles at all with your wrist, elbows or shoulders DON’T try this move!
The twisted grip takes more abdominal strength and will feel more stable than a regular grip for the cartwheel mount and some other grips, because your not relying on arm strength as Chem said, but your "pulling/hanging" from a larger muscle group, the shoulder/upper back/teres major & minor ect.. and using a straight arm to push away from the bottom. The bottom arm can cause pain and trouble too if you tend to be hyperflexible at the elbow.
I know a good number of pole moves are far from ergonomically correct so this is my thought on the TG…. If someone has the strength and flexibility to perform this safely then that’s fine for them, but I don’t think this is a move that everyone should be doing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

This goes along more with the sexuality post but….I had a comment made on my very pregnant (Totally non sexual) pole dance stating that is was a nice video but they "couldn’t find it sexy." I responded back saying "thats good it was never intended to be sexy." They went on to say that pole dance has always been sexual and is meant to be sexual…blah, blah. I didn’t have time for them so I just deleted the whole conversation, it be came pointless.
I think that there are many forms of pole dance, my favorite is the expressive/dance variation. I do think that a lot of the"pro" pole dancers, no longer dance but only do tricks, and very beautifully!!! The girl in the video, did dance…and she flowed very wonderfully I think!!!! I"m not sure what that poster meant by "authentic" did they mean sexual, or what? Because that girl in the vid danced beautifully. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
