Yes Lily…I’m sorry I missed your first post. Sometimes I read them and intend to write but forget. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif I have been ACE certified for 8 years, its not an easy coarse by any means, but you will learn sooooo much, the test for the PT was tough. You will also be required to do continuing education, every 2 years to ensure your keeping up with things in order for them to re certify you. The pole dance Certification falls under the continuing ed. program.You will also have to maintain current CPR, but any gym or studio will require the same, well at least they should! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yes awesome….THAT is a true full cartwheel….I don’t know why everyone calls the other one a full cartwheel! Thanks Lola https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif perfect example. All in favor of Round off and Cartwheel being 2 different moves say eye https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif get it eye. LOL

The common names….(thigh hold, cross ankle release, ankle release) As for the move she is working on…I call it the falling angel knee hold, (Cross knee release, cross thigh hold,)…I know there are plenty more names for these’s two moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif My version of thigh hold..looks like a chopper but your only holding on with one thigh.
-
I should add… Roxy, from what I know of you, you would make a great pole instructor!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I strongly recommend becoming ACE certified in either personal training or group fitness. Both would be best if you plan on leading a group. ACE is one of the leaders in the health and fitness industry for certifications. ALL gyms recognize them and respect those who are certified through them. They also have a pole dance certification now too. I believe the pole dance cert. is only for someone who is already an ACE professional. If any of you are going to choose to go with a pole certification only…..be careful, look at THEIR qualification, at this point there is nothing stopping any pole studio or anyone, from creating their own Certification so, that means any joe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif can certify you and charge you a hefty fee for it. If your going to pay a large amount of money for a certification, I would go with a respected one like ACE. If you chose a fitness based program instead of just a quicky certification, you will learn muscle groups, body mechanics, stretching, cardiovascular basics, and how to create a safe effective program and way more!! Once you have this knowledge you can easily apply it to pole dance and any other form of exercise out there. Invest your money wisely. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif From what I have seen with pole certifications, unless you have a background in fitness you need more than just that. Its just my opinion though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif

Oh all my lessons are done in static. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yes emails, when people comment on a vid would be nice….it is a BIG process so please be patient. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif One more thing, if you don’t want all your SV emails going into your inbox, but you don’t want to miss new posts… you can create a filter on your inbox, so just SV emails are in there. This is what I have to do to keep track of everything.

the superman spin is on page 6 in the lessons. Remember the lessons go in order starting with warm up/cool down/strength/transitions…then moving on to spins. So beginner to advanced. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome, guys!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Are you talking about gemini? There are different names, I’m not sure which move you are referring to but give me a little more info and I will try to help. Is it an inversion with the outside leg hooked at the knee? Don’t stress, just give it a rest for a while and work on other things and go back to it later.
She’s talking about the knee hold, like the thigh hold, but with the knee you know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
Its more than likely a lack of flexibility. it WILL hurt like a bleep https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif when you are first leaning this move. It hurrrrrtts. Remember too everyone’s legs are different lengths and sizes,….so while you do want the pole up as far as possible towards your knee and not on your calf…you may not be able to get your leg in exactly the same spot as me.

Here is a vid of my first attempts at the full cartwheel and true grip cartwheel mount. You will see it at 5:50 its kinda a long vid of fleur and I.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hV3S2q1kdo&feature=channel_page

Oh, I totally understand what your saying…..there is a lot of names for moves that I look at and think hmmmm thats not what I would call it. LOL It wasn’t bitchy, just means you’ve got a good eye https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

I would stop using the grip aid. They tend to leave a nasty residue behind and if your only cleaning the pole with water….you’ll never get it all off. So if you don’t have alcohol yet, then clean your pole really well, with soap and water, rinse well. Then no more grip aid. Poles always start off slippery, you just have to give them a chance to warm up. If you feel the need to use grip aids, do it at the end of a work out and only for working on inverts and holds, NEVER before working on spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Well I guess if we were talking about gymnastics…then yes that would be a round off. But its coming off the cartwheel mount so, that’s why its call a full cartwheel. We just aren’t that technical in pole yet, I guess. LOL. I am able to do this move. I will post it sometime…I kind of forget about it because I like to practice in heels, and will as you would guess, not a safe move to work on in heels! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Your gonna need to be extremely comfortable with your cartwheel mount, and also being able to do a jack knife is very helpful and I would recommend having those two moves down solid, before attempting the full cartwheel. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you think you might ever want to compete or dance in a club, then I would go with the 50mm, because that is the standard size pole in the US. If its just for fitness and fun at home than either one is fine. It can be difficult, to switch from a small pole, to a large pole, and pretty much, no trouble at all to move to a smaller size, just so your aware. I use the 45 and 50 and love them both, but if I use my 45 exclusively for too long my grip suffers on the 50mm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

What kind of finish is on your pole?
do you have dry, or sweaty hands?
is the climate hot or cool in your pole room?
How long have you been dancing?
and last do you use any grip aids? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif -
No worries, kinda figured that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Thanks for sharing.

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif YOU HAVE TO LOOSEN THE NUT FIRST!!! You may have broken you pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif If you can’t get the big nut back up away from the pole, you will have to order a new top half of the pole. I’m guessing you totally stripped the treads.
