I like Ellie, I have narrow feet and they seem to work well for me. Both the base and heel of the shoe seems stable when I dance. I don't think I have ever had Pleaser heels. I have few heels and boots that do not have a name on them though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Kobajo, Looks like your doing Karols variation and coming more forward almost rolling into it, rather then tumbling/falling into it like I do. For my tumblethe feet/legs stay pointing up as the bum drops down for the initial hold before you tumble. Also I would try using the opposite shoulder. Its looking good!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Terpsikhore, can I ask how your entering you superman? Reading your description I could see how it could happen but I can't visualize the cause without knowing the entry. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If competing is something you find exciting then go for it. Be sure to perfect any moves you would like to use….Its better to do a simple move perfectly with control than fancy advanced moves that lack beautiful lines and form.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Hmmm as for the superman, I can't figure out how your tail bone would ever be in the way. Maybe the studio is using the name superman for a different move???

Oh, pretty shoes!
Its very common to start off using the toes to grip. However once you become stronger you can start to move away from this. I do my climbs with my toes pointed, (unless I'm feeling lazy) lol its just a matter of using the proper Points of Contact and enough upper body strength. Remember there are different ways to climb too. A basic Pole Climb, X Ankle Climb, Side Climb, to name a few.
To climb without relying heavily on the feet you'll want to work on your upper body strength and work on pushing into the pole with the front of the ankle/shin,(point the toes don't flex the foot up) gripping in between the inside of the knees, instead of curling the toes up and round the pole.
Wearing shoes that will not allow you to use the toes might be good practice for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Lyme I still teach a split grip ayasha by pushing away with the bottom arm just like in an extended butterfly. This position does push you farther away from your pole so it is a bit more difficult but i like the lines it produces better. But when up right I teach you to focus on using mostly the top arm.

I had the same issue with my leg moving into the “wrong” position. Ito fix it I focused on my hip flexors and quads. These muscles can sometimes be too tight that you cannot move the hips into a squared position. Stretching these muscles also helped me with my advanced ballerina! Amy has a great suggestion for the back bend! When doing a bridge try to keep the legs in line with your hips and don’t allow the knees to flare out to the sides. Good luck!

Nope your always using the top arm the most even when up right but I would not say you are hanging from it. To me the term hang means your not using the muscles of the shoulder or arm to support you, but rather holding with the hand and letting the limb take on all of the force without engaging the muscles. It’s only the term “hang” that worries me. 😉 Even when I teach spins I explain how to engage the scapula and muscles of the arms so you are not just hanging from the limb.
-
I am not fond of the hanging method, but for those who use smaller diameter poles and use this method….please… make sure your engaging the scapula first and also be careful not to hyperextend the elbows. The Split Grip Straight Edge is easier the father apart your hands are placed but it always makes me nervous to hear the words "hang" when referring to grips. xoxo
