If your looking for some guidance on what to do next, all of my lessons here on Studioveena are in order of level of difficulty (keep in mind everyone is different) I also have strength training moves you can do with your pole, this is helpful for the beginner and those time when the more advanced dancer wants to get to the next level, because sometimes its only a matter of strength holding you back. Also if you have questions on any of the lessons you can leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I was disappointed too when I saw the holes on the X pole, I didn’t know that was how they were made…. but to be honest, I have never even noticed them. My X stage is smooth too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif I have had both the PS stainless steel and X pole Chrome and Titanium Gold finishes. I hated the Stainless finish, it took forever to warm up enough to use, LOVE the X pole Titanium gold, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the beginner/intermediate, its just too grippy, its great for advanced work. I think Chrome is the best of both worlds, has great grip once it is warmed and wont tear your skin or give you terrible pole burn like TG. Of course your still get pole burn… but I have had some bad ones on my TG. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

I like to have dancers work on their elbowstands first, once they have control over that move, (no throwing themselves again the wall or pole) but gently lift one leg then the other, using abdominals then its on to the handstands. The key is really control, if you don’t have the strength to lift your self into the position, then we tend to use force and that can result in missing your pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif The girls are right about your splits, so try that, its how I teach the elbow and handstands. Also to keep excessive pressure off your wrist, spread your fingers far apart and think of pressing into the floor with the fingers and not pressing with the palm so much. If you have the lessons here are the 2 moves elbow and hand

I want to let you all know I’m so pleased with the spirit in which we have all discussed a touchy subject!! Its a rare thing to find on a forum…..its very refreshing to see adults behaving like…well… adults https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I loved reading all your points of view. HUZ to you all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I’ll keep mine short…….I love ALL aspects of pole dancing, the dirty, the sensual, the sporty, the aerial, and heartfelt emotional!!! Finding this incredibly diverse art form has been wonderful for my spirit. I have always love music, and have felt a need/desire to express it…(I play many instruments, sing and did some figure skating back in the day) but non of those forms of musical expression have ever really "done it" for me. I have found my "thing" I discovered both Pole Dancing and Dance at about the same time. When I watch dancing, not just pole, but any style and any form, it takes me to another place in my mind, so much more emotional then I had ever thought I could be!! I cry all the time over music I hear on the radio and performances I see on YT or TV! I am not a crier mind you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Its wonderful what this world of dance has done TO me, I only wish I had experienced this all sooner in my life. I hope the "dance" is never taken away from the ART that is pole, now THAT would be something to cry about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you have OVERTIGHTENED your pole against the ceiling then it will not spin as fast and as freely. The adjuster rod should not be tightened so much that you can no longer turn it.

I just received my hoopnotica hoop a few days ago, its the travel hoop. I have to say I prefer my homemade hoops. My hoopnotica hoop is warped and it huge!! LOL I know its easier to hoop with a larger size but this is BIG. It will be fun to take with though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I ended up making two new hoops myself too.

The bottom loading X will have a cover for the bottom. X pole has a lot of cool things to come, but they don’t want us blabbing about it too much. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif

A nice stretching routine is one of the next things on my to do list for the new lessons, for now if you have the lessons check out the cool down, that is where the stretching is for now!!! Great suggestion.

I say B…most guys, even the supportive ones don’t oh and ahh over the craziest of pole tricks, they just wanna see you move. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Are you trying to to the Basic Butterfly (using an elbow or forearm grip keeping your body close to the pole) or the Butterfly (using a split grip holding the body away from the pole)? Make sure you understand the proper positioning for the leg that is on the pole. If your leg is in the right position you wont need someone to hold your leg in place, just like in the caterpillar the leg should be pulling against the pole. The point of contact of the leg that is on the pole will be, behind the heel, along the inside of the knee. If you moving into the butterfly from a caterpillar there is no reason for you to be shifting anything around you will simply remove the opposite leg off the pole. Be sure that your hips are squared. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thank you, ladies!
Perhaps I’ll give my CKR a couple of days before I try again. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
One other thing while were at it….your pain tolerance can be at its lowest when your menstruating so some moves may feel more painful on your skin! -
Ahh yes thank you Yoga! I have heard that before, I also have read that in India most women don’t practice yoga at all while they are on their "holiday" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I cannot think of any medical reason why…(I’m not a dr duh) but when I spoke with my dr about inverting while pregnant he said there was no danger in it….still I stopped inverting by the 2nd trimester, which would be a good rule to follow for the advance dancer who becomes pregnant, and, beginners shouldn’t be inverting anyway. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I’m guessing the no inverting "rule" given by yoga instructors is more like the wives tale telling you not to swim after eating. Your body is working harder when your menstruating (just like after you’ve eaten) so you need to listen and pay attention to YOUR body and if something is too tiring or doesn’t feel right then stop. If we really listen our bodies will let us in a some amazing secrets. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I looked through my vids……I remember it was in the "Lick" vid https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif You’ll have to sit through till near the very end because this was uploaded on the old video player so you can’t fast forward https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

No, I have not giving my latest drop a name….I do another drop, its a Knee hold then a drop into the Shoulder Dismount. Its really scary https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I Know I have a vid of it but can’t seem to remember which one or where it is, I love my shoulder mounts and dismounts!

Which spin are you talking about?? The very first one that looks like a Chair spin but with your back to the pole??
