Hi, Welcome. As far as cameras go I don’t really like they way most web cams create vids. Most I have seen turn out kind of choppy. I have a great little video camera…I just got it and looove how easy it is to use, and how small it is!! Its called a Flip Video Mino HD. Love it, I did my latest vid, the Michael Jackson one with it and the quality is great, I think. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Welcome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif sound like you might be thinking about a new pole. I really love the X pole, and as far as the lessons go, they are placed in order please be sure to do the strength training section, this is very important because it prepares your body for the demands of pole dance. Have fun!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Welcome, thats great you had a fun first lesson. Newbies tend to really have a death grip on the pole, it gets better with time. If you find that you get pole burn on your wrist, you can wear wrist cuffs and that will stop it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hello and welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I do in fact have the pull ups exercise but they are in my online lessons. Enjoy your pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You have to put the pole up across 2 joist if your in the UK but in the US our joist are farther apart so its better to put it centered on 1. The x pole can’t be used on a false or suspended ceiling and must be placed on a joist. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I found a mirror for free once too! I snagged that puppy up right away. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Thats great your enjoying your lessons https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Remember that for new pole dancers, even more so for those who new to exercise, you want a day of rest in between your work outs. You muscles need to repair themselves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Yeah, most places are only concerned with making money and they really don’t care about the quality of the pole. They see that pee a POO is well advertised so they want to sell it. booooo https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

I’m not the tech person, but yes there is a reason for it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Not allowing user name changes is not, an usual practice, most sites wont allow user name changes. Go try changing it on Youtube. On MOST sites, you are usually required to make a new account if you want to change your user name. If a site were to allows the users to change names, then everything gets all messed up! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif Websites are very complex and information like user names need to remain the same or people wont get emails and updates, too many things go all screwy, and the site can’t keep track of everything like it needs to. I’m sooooo not the tech person but this is the basic idea. Right webmaster?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif

OH thats great news Natalie https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Ok I thought I should give you all an update on the arm problem.
I was FINALLY able to meet with a physical therapist yesterday. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif 9 frickin weeks after the pain started…After going through some exercises and finally having someone listen to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif we were able to figure out the problem (hopefully). His conclusion,… it is not a tear or tendinitis of some sort but a tracking issue with my elbow!! I have the ability to hipper extend my elbows… more so on the left, which is the arm that hurts. This ability can cause problems and I’m pretty sure it was the TWISTED GRIP HANDSPRING that brought on my problem. After going through some exercises and finally having someone listen to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif we were able to hopefully figure out the problem. This all seems to make more sense than the epicondylitis (tennis or golfers elbow) theory. I had done waaaaayyyy more pole dancing when I first started learning to pole, than what I have done after Henry. So my only thought on that was over use from holding him and poling. I’m glad thats not the problem. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
He was pretty annoyed that it took this long for me to get into PT, he said I should have been doing exercise weeks ago!@! So…..I have some exercises to work on and some ummm… I guess you could call it manipulation, I need to do with my elbow, before I lift weights or pole dance. Now that I know (I hope) what the problem is I have my brain going and have some thought on how I can fix this problem. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif The poor tracking also seemed to be irritating my already damaged unlar nerve (not pole related). Which is why I had more tinging after dancing or triceps training. He didn’t really say that the tracking problem could be fixed, but I am determined to find a way to fix it!! IF anyone has info on this for me I would love to hear it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

We have thought about making the lessons viewable on the iphone, it takes some work, but it can definitely be done. We just don’t know if its worth while right now. I see 2 of you might be interested but….is it something others would really love? Jamilla has the only dvd set I would recommend, if your looking to spend as little as possible just get her beginner dvd. Be careful and have fun. I would suggest reading through the forums if you don’t have a way of taking lessons. There is a really go one called..Am I ready for an inversion. under pole moves. I would check that one out for sure. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Roxy, if I was worried about the thread I would have sent you an email….I know my members are great and wouldn’t use it to specifically pick at someone. I seem to be pmsing myself so I’ll give it a go…..
I also don’t like the "no pain no gain" theory of some polers.
I don’t like it when pole dancers compare themselves to other pole dancers….everyone has their own strength and we all progress differently. I know I say this over and over….only compare your progress by YOUR progress, not the woman who started dancing the same time you did! *says with wagging finger* I was guilty of this and still am on occasion. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
I am a wedgie picker!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif It looks bad and…well it looks bad. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
I also hate how unprofessional some pole "professionals" can be. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

Don’t be discouraged. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Never compare your progress to other dancers!!!. There will always be someone who can do something better than you can. Think back on the first time you tried to pole dance? I bet your better now right? Judge your progress by your progress. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Don’t be to upset about the injury. I am an advanced dancer and personal trainer and I some how hurt myself!! I always warm up and stretch and know about proper forum….I still have know idea what I did, soooo it can happen to anyone. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -
Rest for sure if its a strain or sprain! Once your feeling better do some light strength training exercise and stretching then work up to pole dance slowly. Always remember to warm up your fingers, wrist and shoulders before beginning you pole dancing. Then be sure to stretch AFTER your dancing. If you have my lessons I include a warm up that shows you how to warm up properly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Hope you feel better soon. Sometimes it only takes a few day to feel better, just be sure to take it slow once you do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh Natalie….I’m so sorry to hear about your pain and uncertainty. Sissybuns that was an amazing post, thank you for sharing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif E hugs to both of you.
We are all here for you Natalie, and I’m sure that everyone who reads this thread will send healing thoughts and energy your way! Have you thought about trying alternative medicine? Mediation can do wonders for the mind and body, there are lots of books out there for both alternative healing and mediation. Even if these things don’t have an effect on the illness it can surely help the mind. I couldn’t hurt to try. One more thing I don’t know you, but I want to remind you…..Never think you deserve this or that you have done something wrong…..shitty things happen and usually to great people. We are here for you.

You can work on spin combos and if you know how, pole climbs are a fantastic way to build upper body strength for inverting. Enjoy the moves you know and work on putting them together in a dance, with floor work and transition. Pole is not all about the invert. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Now that you have some spins under your belt dance, dance https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Once your body gets use to the demands of pole and weight training you can bump it up a bit by doing pole more often. For now though, I would take it easy, an injury would mean no pole or weights…..trust me that SUCKS. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif Listen to your body and give it the rest and nutrition it needs. You will see an improvement in your poling once you start weight training. Have fun.
