Stud finders wont work on plaster. I find them unreliable so I use the knock method. Just knock along the ceiling and when to tone changes from hollow to solid…there ya go https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif You found yourself a stud, now if only it were take simple to find a man stud. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Veena, thanks for these video newsletters…they are great for getting to know SV members!
Glitterhips, I’m jealous that you flew out to meet Veena! I’m here in Chicago too, don’t forget about me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif LOL I would love to learn a couple moves from you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif . You have a sweet personality and would like to pole jam with you one day.
Hey Please let me know if your ever in the San Fran area, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif it was very nice of Glitters family to let her ditch them for a bit while they were on vacation here. I told Glitter I would come steel her away if they wouldn’t let her come. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif -
I don’t have Ellie boots but I have some Ellie heels and I LOVE them they are super comfy, they have a great soft cushion, But all the boots I own don’t have any cushion, soooo I don’t know if Ellie boots would. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Loved the booty popping on the ceiling!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Well…for me it was keeping my booty up so… you want to keep that Caterpillar position and release from there, in that chair position, like an up sidedown L, so there is an bit of an arch in your low back….but only for the straight edge split not the straight edge. I wish I could do this move I would post it for you….Its a no no for me right now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
Here this vid has a good view at. 2:50 I go right into a straight edge, not the split….but its a great example of how squashed up your body should be in the caterpillar before your release your legs from the pole.
-
Yippy! Work on the split first, Because your legs are in a V it requires less balance than legs straight up. If you do try a true straight edge….be sure your not arching your back, you don’t want to tip backwards. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Oh and the farther away from the pole your hips are the harder, so its fine to keep them close until you get stronger and better balanced.

Great job, yes spin mode takes a lot of control….I’m still working on it myself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

Yes, sissy lower down is right, that way your farther away from your pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
Yeah, blackeyed the RG should NOT be taught as a beginner move. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
-
Oh I had a good time meeting you Glitter! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
-
Yippy have fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Arching your back can help, but making sure your not starting off too close to the pole can help a lot. You want a hips width distance or even a tad more, if your holding up real high on the pole you’ll smash into the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

If its just sore and not painful I’m sure you’ll be fine. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif If your still worried about it the next day talk to your DR. This spin is an advanced spin because It requires a lot of strength and good form. I would recommend working on pole climbs and other moves to help strengthen your shoulders for this spin, many ladies have injured themselves working on this spin too soon. I have placed this move under the intermediate category in my online lessons. Just because its a spin instructors teach it as a beginner move and student think they should be able to do it right away. Not true. I haven’t see you try the spin so I can’t tell you if your ready for it, but please be careful, shoulders are tricky things treat them well. Always hold them back and down when poling, never hang from the arm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Hope you feel better tomorrow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Learning on spin first, can make it harder to learn on static later….can but not necessarily. You can developed habits, using spin mode because it requires you to turn into the pole a lot (but not always) and then climb or get into a position. Soooo the problem that some run into is when trying static spins they have a habit of turning into the pole first and that can cause problems in proper technique for some static spins. One is not harder or better than the other but the technique is different. I think static is a better work out, if burning calories is what a person wants to do, because you need to use your body for momentum on static. Spin is more about holding the pose properly….which is also a challenge! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Veena, I would love you to be one of the contestants in the competition. You are a beautiful dancer!
I know you said it was your husbands birthday though, are you going to be able to commit to the evening of Saturday, October 3?
Sorry I miss your reply…. yes hubby is fine with it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif It would give us an excuse to be kid free on his Birthday. LOLHow many competitors will there be?
-
Its great to have you with us!! My youngest is now 9 months and love to hold the pole and lick it ewwww or sometimes he’ll sit and look down at the X pole bottom (because its shiny) and babble to the baby down there. Welcome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Veena, so your body should be off to the same side as your higher hand?
Yes, if you doing the forearm grip that can make a big difference for you to feel more stable. So.. your not trying to do the forearm grip with your arm directly in front of you body line but to the side. Does that make sense? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
Well I’m glad your back! Cuts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif on your legs? What the heck were they having you do?
-
Welcome! Those kids sure seem like natural polers don’t they, and they don’t wake up all stiff either. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Enjoy your new pole!!!

How are you trying to go about doing it, from an elbow grip or forearm? Do you have a vid of yourself trying it? Here are some tips.
Soooo, caterpillar your booty way up, and slightly off to the side of the arm you’ll be gripping with, you DON’T want your body to be centered with the pole, you want to be off to the side (for the forearm grip) for the elbow centered it ok..now keep it there so your butt is out and away from the pole, your legs are making a 90 degree angle, an upside down L. Your lower arm ( the main one you push up into the Cat with) is straight and the other arm is either gripping in an elbow grip or forearm grip. I like the forearm but try both. Then slooowly keeping your knees bent…try to release them from the pole. You will have a slight arch to your back, because you have just come up from the cat and have the upside down L going on. Like your sitting in an upside down chair. lol If you can’t fully extend your legs into a V, its ok, just work on getting your balance first, by keeping the knees bent, and legs close to the pole, until your comfortable with your balance. Use a spotter if you can, or a ton of pillows, Keep it low to the ground, and to keep from tipping backwards…keep your legs moving toward the pole, don’t try to get them over your head, you’ll fall! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I hope that make some sense. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
