I cover the arm variations Lyme is talking about in the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d46d077-22f0-4c57-87e0-2ff40ac37250
One thing to remember regardless of which grip you use, you need to keep contact between the legs with the pole for as longs as possible as you SLOWLY switch from legs to hands. I think sometimes a dancers goes from legs to hands quickly without using between the legs. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

The girls have great suggestions. In addition to conditioning and watching all the getting started, remember the pole strength routine is not meant to be easy. It's not the Beginner section because the lessons are "easy" but rather they are necessary for building strength and technique needed to prepare the body for pole…. In fact, I recently had time off the pole only weeks and could only manage 5 knee tucks! Also be sure you've worked on the individual pole strength first. The conditioning lessons are super important.
Make sure to write down and track your reps, so you can look back and see if you're improving. Just managing one more rep is GREAT and it is a big deal!
For things like the Pole Hold, remember you can grip the pole between the knees too, until you're strong enough for arms only. Stay with the beginner variations until you can reach 12 reps, then move to the more challenging variation.
Try working on the transitions and floorwork too, these are fun ways to build confidence with the pole again and strength! Getting back into poling always feels frustrating the first few sessions or even weeks, but it will get better !!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Yes that’s correct. I wouldn’t say you have to do it that way but it’s the way I teach it. 🙂

Hey guy's I remembered another video with a nice transition and combo using the Veena grip.
Watch from about 4:25. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/18f062e4-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be

You all have some grip tips!
I think one of the problems polers have with the Forearm grip is holding the pole near the center of the chest, instead of over by the shoulder. Holding in the center of the chest will make you feel like you're going to fall straight down, there's no leverage. This is a common problem with the Caterpillar as well. Also don't rush to open the legs into V or extend them into a straight edge, work on holding the Tucked Caterpillar position until you can hold it in tuck without the legs touching the pole. Then move on to your V or straight edge. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Here are lessons for the Forearm and Elbow grip.

If you're taking the lessons sparrow, it sounds like the Shoulder V lesson. I'm pretty sure cupcake meant she sweeps the opposite leg you mount on. I don't think she uses the same leg of the shoulder the pole is on, and sweeps out to the opposite side and up? That would seem harder. In the lesson the "lead", or what cupcake calls the "sweeping" leg is the opposite side of the shoulder that the pole is on. So if the pole is on the right shoulder, the left leg leads.

I thought it was great to see thoughts and even research, from someone who has just been introduced to pole dance! So often we only see something like this from those who have been involved with pole for some time.
Wrinkletalk, Thank you for the interview and I enjoyed our first lesson together.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hooked is right, in order for it to be a "Veena grip" the hand of the shoulder you mount on is low, the other is extended fully. I wouldn't suggest swithing the hands for this grip. RikkiL is correct too, it's good to try all kinds of grips, but I do also think the V grip is one of the nicest to use for a flip, because it offers a lot of control at the top of the move.

Welcome to the site!! If you have a brand of brass pole you have used before, and you like it. Maybe see if you can buy that brand.
