Grip aids can be super helpful if you have sweaty hands. For some sweaty hands improve as you become less "nervous" about moves you're working on, but for others sweaty hands are something to work around. You might also want to try Pole Gloves. http://mightygrip.info/bmighty-grip-pole-fitnessb-pole-training-fitness-gloves-c-96_86.html
Also if you're looking to improve your strength you've come to the right place! The lessons here focus on progressively building your strength, from the feet to the hands and every muscle group in between! The 30 day Take off Program is really helpful. Here's a video explaining what the program is about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifPLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF

What kind of pole is it and is it a pressure mounted pole or permanent? Lina is right about it feeling faster than it is. Spin takes time to learn to control. This video has some tips for spinny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF

I have had wrist pain when using my 40mm pole so it could be possible.

I see pole dance as an art, therefore, anything goes when it comes to clothing and shoes. However, less is best so you have adequate skin contact with the pole.
Wearing any kind of heel will help improve balance, so besides giving the legs a nice long line (and being sexy) they can also strengthen the feet and calves.

Hi cupcakejenea, everyone has great suggestions! If you happen to have a smart phone the lessons can be viewed on most of them!
As others suggested I would focus on building strength, then move on the more advanced work like V inverts and split grips. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It's not uncommon for instructors to suggest the diameter used in their studio. 45mm is becoming standard, so if you plan on competing then going with that size might be nice. I personally never use my 50mm and love my 45s. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif The SV pole is also a 45mm pole btw. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Reenie gave some great advice and she's right about it not being a beginner move. I just wanted to say I hope you're feeling better ladynocturnal!

ChristinM, that's sad to hear you've decided to quit. Did you try any exercise to strengthen your core? Having pain isn't normal when you are learning to pole dance, pole dance can be a great workout and method of expression. Maybe if you tried again and focused more on strengthening before moving on to inverts you might have a better outcome?
