Pole dance can whip your body into fantastic shape, no doubt….but for those who do not have a background where strength was involved, you tend feel stuck a bit sooner than some with the more strength based moves. When that happens adding some weight training can be helpful…you can even do strength work with your pole ( I have a full body work out in the lessons ) It can also be that your not positioning your body right while trying the grip…If you only watching videos and not hearing any instruction, you could be missing a small but important body adjustment. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Get one Tara….I wanna see you dance again. I really love the X stage, and it does adjust to fit uneven surfaces…not crazy uneven and it has feet that you can extend out if you feel your spins are to vigorous, this will make the base even more stable. I have never had to add weights or stick out the legs. It has spin mode too!! Here is my first time dancing on my X stage…I"m kinda tentative because I wonder if my neighbors are looking! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

No body is perfect….did you ever see my baby belly vid I did for you all here? Real women have stretch marks, cellulite and even extra skin and I think we are beautiful. Please don’t feel bad about yourself….and think if you make a video and post it you can look bad and see how far you have come https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I would love to see you dance, maybe you could do the Oct challenge, you get to wear a costume for that one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

I had a new Platinum stages stainless steel pole for my first pole and I have to tell you I had the worst time with grip. Stainless will become grippy over time and really heavy use. I lived in a colder climate and as a beginner I would become very discouraged with the lack of grip using SS. As so as I switched to the X pole Chrome the grip was so much better, I was kinda upset that I didn’t have that to begin with. Brass can be too grippy for beginners, but once your advance you may love it. I still prefer the chrome finish anything more grippy is too much, because I enjoy doing static spins. X pole does sell the titanium gold finish which is about the same grip as brass, but I still love chrome. There are a lot of things that affect your grip and finish is only one factor, here is an article that might help. Think about the climate where you live and go from there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

AdministratorOctober 1, 2009 at 11:35 pm in reply to: Things to know BEFORE you buy a pole!!!It seems like x-pole is the favorite. i have to ask some ridiculously ignorant questions now. i’m guessing spinny and static are just what they sound like,.. why would you ever use static? you’d never lock it in place if you were doing a routine would you? just curious,.. and yes,.. i am serious- i really don’t know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Static mode….the pole does not move…you use momentum you create to do spins and tricks. I teach all pole tricks on static first, so all of the lessons on the site are taught on static. I prefer static….here is a dance on static. The pole is not moving, its me going around the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/video/gallery/Sway-
Spin mode…..The pole its self spins, this requires a different technique than static. Here is a dance on spin mode… spin mode requires control over your movements or you’ll fly off!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
