Dezadera…Do you ever think you’ll want to compete or dance at other studios or clubs?? If so then get the 50mm. Yes, the USPDF is using 45mm but for the most part most poles are still the 50mm. Remember its easier to move from larger to smaller not the other way around. Hope that helps. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

The more room you have the better….and yes X poles will work just fine with the pop corn ceilings. I have used mine on that type before with no trouble. Some little bits might flake off when you remove it (not enough for you to notice tho) so just be careful not to get any in your eye https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif LOL

Sissy I know what you meant way back in your first post https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif ….I would be upset too if I went some place that I was told had great service… no matter what kind,… and its not what was expected. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif No worries https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

yeah, the crucifix….the leg position is the same for the inverted crucifix too.

Just remember the key is move slooooowly don’t try to just pop the legs up. Balance requires constant slight adjustments. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

If your planning on getting the lessons here I talk about the correct positions there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Basic invert
outside leg comes to the SAME side of the pole your body is on
inside leg come to the OTHER side away from your body.
Your POINT OF CONTACT…with the pole will be… the heel, back of the calf, of the outside leg… in between the knees and thighs of both legs, and top of foot with the pole crossing over the shin of your inside leg.
Concentrate on holding that pole in between and just barley above the insides of your knees. Working on your upright Crucifix can be helpful because it is that same leg position. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

UMMM WTF GUYS, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif WE DON’T PERSONALLY ATTACK EACH OTHER ON THIS FORUM, OR ON THIS SITE FOR THAT MATTER…. THIS IS NOT HOW WE TREAT FELLOW MEMBERS AND DANCERS!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

The straight edge is more difficult because it takes more balance to hold that line. If your comfortable with your straight edge V aka aysha then try this.
Caterpillar up, stay in that tucked position….the farther out you are from the pole the harder this will be to hold. I like the forearm grip for this. DON’T ARCH YOUR BACK!!
From that tuck position try extending ONE leg straight up…slowly! Work on holding that….then try to bring the other leg up next to it. Once you have your balance that way then work on moving right from the tuck to releasing both leg up at the same time.
Make sure your solid in whatever grip your using, that way you can focus on your balance….breath…don’t hold your breath. lol
Try working on handstands against the wall or pole to improve your balance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

If your new to pole dance then backing off it a good idea. You can still do some floorwork and fun transitions and you can still have fun with it, just dance! Here is a good example of dancing with your pole without all the tricks.

Now if your not a beginner and your very comfy in your abilities, here are my guide lines, I used for my pregnancy.
With ANY exercise while preggers, be sure you don’t over heat, and don’t raise your heart level too high. Drink lots of water. Listen to your body.
1st Trimester…continue with moves you know but don’t work on new ones. Stick with what you have down and work on perfecting it.
2nd Trimester…No more inverts or climbs. Spins are fine if your joints don’t mind. if your a seasoned dancer it shouldn’t be a problem, but everyone is different.
3rd Trimester…This is a good time to work on dancing with soft hands, pointed toes (watch out for leg cramps tho) and hip rolls and enjoying your new sexy body. Most spins will be out..I was able to adjust mine, I found that by keeping my thighs pointing down, and not bringing them up to my waist for spins like the chair I could still do them and they were not a stain on my Abs. Here is an example of that…you can see I don’t do many spins at all and I keep my knees low.

With ANY exercise you have to talk with your DR first and make sure your fit to exercise while pregnant. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif LOL

The ladies are right the cover/sleeve is just for looks. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif And aligning the Xs will fix the spinny prob.
