Yep for the most part you can continue with what you were doing before you became pregnant as long as you have your Dr or Midwifes ok. One thing you should know, do not do any exercises that require you to lay on your back after the 1st trimester. Doing so will reduce blood flow to the baby.

Hi hml888, The TG lift is a professional level pole move. You might want to take a look at this blog before continuing to work on the TG lift. It may help put the trouble you're having with this move into perspective. Be kind to your body and live to pole another day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/blogs/view/5105b901-76b4-43c4-abf9-01a50ac37250

Lina, Usually just posting a link works best, not trying to use the picture button thing.
Anyway, this video might help you understand how your spine works. At 18 seconds it shows forward bending (flexion) after it shows backward bending (extension)

I wouldn't add anything to the mount. It's meant to screw right into the ceiling and stud.

You don't need to be scared of that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifThe joint makes the pole very sturdy, the xstage is the only stage I feel comfortable performing with. Its normal for poles to have some give in them, if that is what you are worried about. The only time I have felt a pole not give at all is a one piece, SHORT as in under 8ft, permanent pole.

If I'm dancing on a pole that isn't mine, I bring mighty grip with me among other grip aids too. I have used it when a pole feels greasy or when grip aids left on a pole have made my hands slip and it's worked well. I don't need grip aids at home though. I think if you can get small sizes of all the major grip aids its a good idea, then you can see what works for you. Different conditions will call for different aids. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If I wear heels I like to wear ballroom heels or "stripper" heels. I love the ballroom because they allow you to point the foot and still give a nice line to the legs. They are great for song that would look odd with a stripper heel.
I love to wear my stripper heels because they are so so so FUN! I love how they look, I love the colors you can get and all how sexy they make us look and feel. Even your "average" heel these days are looking like "stripper" heels! Even if exotic dancers never wore those heels, I'd still want to wear them. lol
All heels made for dancing will challenge you to work on your balance and body awareness, so I think it's a great thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I LOVE static, but I do spinning pole too. I find it challenging to create movement while using a static pole, so I think that's one of the reasons I like it. In the lessons here I give instruction for both static and spinning pole spins and holds. With the static always being shown first. I think it's a good idea to learn new moves on a static pole, then move on to spinning. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Make sure you do a good warm up for your body before you start dancing. Warm skin will grip the pole best. Also try steaming your pole to get the grease off. Here is a video on how to do it. You can also clean your pole with rubbing alcohol.

Yes, using a steamer works really fast. Rubbing alcohol will work too, and you may have to clean the pole several times before the junk is all off.
