    That’s a great idea Arakiss! Along that line you could use contact paper too!

    Welcome back! I feel like years ago someone here danced with a port, but I can’t recall who.

    It’s not something I’m familiar with but obvious things would be to avoid Flag Grips and Front arm pit grips in general. Listen to your body, and if you need help with modifying a move let me know!

    Windex works really well, the problem is some people can be sensitive to it, causing skin issues. I’ve used it with no problems.

    If you want a chemical smell free deep clean option use a steamer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw

    Hmmm. That’s a good question! I don’t know how durable it would be. Maybe if you used the right type of paint and application it would work? Here’s an article I found. https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-paint-for-metal/

    If you wear heels you’ll have to make sure the paint can withstand that. It would be really cool to paint it white too!

    Strong grips are super important for exotic pole!

    They will help a lot. However, if you always have sweaty hands then finding an antiperspirant grip aid will be important as well. All of these will help prevent common overuse injuries as well.

    I do take requests, it may take some time to get to them all.

    For that move it looks like the side pole hold is the key to control.

    There are lots of options! Try using the 30 day take off and swapping out some of the listed routines or moves to customize it.

    If you’d like a more complete custom program send me an email veena@studioveena.com and we can set up a one on one.

    Welcome! It does get better, but it will take some time and its different for everyone. Also some moves never bother my skin much, others, yikes! One thing I tell new dancers is limit your attempts 10 tries. This helps with bruising and pole burn. Try some aloe after as well.

    Here’s another thread you might like from a fellow aerialist https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/Transitioning_from_aerialist_to_poler_20200406100138

    I agree with the girls, give him some time and I bet he’ll get over it. I bet most of us are a little more sensitive during this social distancing. Maybe he’ll start to see that pole really can make you stronger xoxox

    Thanks guys 🥰. I don’t think it’s even the flu….there’s some personal stress going on so it’s probably just that. I’m feeling much better today. Hoping to film more lesson tomorrow!!!!

    UGH, I’ve not been feeling well for the last 3 days. It’s nothing horrible but I’m super tired, shaky and weak. Maybe I’ve got the Rona but IDK. I did manage to do a Live lesson this morning but now I’m beat. I haven’t done anything more than walk the dogs for 6 days.

    How’s everyone else doing?

    April 8, 2020 at 3:58 pm in reply to: Quarantine/ shut down

    Yes, I agree with Quancutie about NOT doing the keto diet and as Colleen said any other fade diet. Unless a dr has put you on keto don’t, the way it’s presented to the general public it’s just another fade and can be problematic health wise.

    To echo what Colleen said….Eat LOTS of Veggies, some fruit, remember they have sugars, but bananas are great for recovery from pole. Enjoy whole grains, meat and diary. But there’s no need to do fat free foods as they often add more SUGAR and other garbage! Move more! XOXOX

    Since both my husband and I WFH it’s just as busy for us, if not more…Wish I had free time!

    What are you doing during this strange time Quancutie23?

    Welcome! I know there are many that transition! I went the other way but rarely use my hammock or lyra, just not enough time. But they are very much interchangeable which is great. Even with your background in aerial still check out the beginner lessons, this will help you understand terminology and how I structure my lessons. The strength and conditioning section is totally something you can you for aerial as well.

    I have a few things that will help with foot point, stretching and rolling for the feet. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for? Also, I’ll be uploading some new videos within the next few day…. 11 of them that are foot specific!

    I’ve tried a few knee pads an I also like the mighty grip ones best. They do run small!

    I always suggest learning new moves without heels (like Amelia said). Once you can do the move very rarely are your feet making contact with the pole.

    The good news is once you get back into a regular practice it comes back faster then when you first learned!!!
