I have seen them…yes, I think they are for advanced stretchers. Not the best fit for someone who is not familiar with stretching and proper technique.They are very bendy that is for sure https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

My sister suffers from headaches like this. The doctors told her it was hormonal. She is on a birth control pill now for it. I am not sure if it helped though I would need to ask her. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I totally agree with you Cinara when it comes to the Aysha and strength. Also with the split grips, that bottom hand should not be taking much weight (if any) at all. I get emails were students have been taught split grips spins and reverse grab spins in beginner classes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gifand had ended up with injuries. I think people see spins as simple or beginner moves because they are done from the ground and not up on the pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

XLauraX, don't rush into one handed spins! These can be just as harmful to your body if your not strong enough and do not have the proper positioning as inverting can. I consider all one handed spins intermediate. in fact only a handful of spins are in the beginner section they are all placed at the end and most of them are half spins. You must build up the strength in the shoulders, wrist and hands before you fling your body around the pole. I know spins seem easy to learn but that does not make them appropriate for beginners.
Can you do a controlled Pole Hold for 3-5 sec's or 2 breaths?
Can you do a double Pole Climb?
Are your basic spins (ones done with 2 hands while facing the pole) done with control and proper scapula engagement?
When you can answer yes to these then you may be ready to start working on one handed spins https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You should be!The girls did a fine job https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif and yes it would be crazy hard to get that many dancers to perform in sync on pole!! However, the manager or who ever encouraged them and gave the thumbs up for THAT show is not very wise!! They call themselves a CONTEMPORARY pole dance group, so WHY perform against dancers who do HIP HOP AND CRUNK?? Maybe I am not familiar with the show and they have all styles on? They did a great job with the abilities they had, being from what it sounded like, fairly new to pole. It was amazing that they were brave enough to get up there and represent! It was just silly for them to be on that show, but they did a fine job!
Getting on a show is about having the right manager and knowing the right people. They would have been better off performing for America's got Talent or a talk show in my opinion.
I think if these girls were on studioveena ( I know we would all welcome them if they were ) and had mentioned they wanted to do ABDC we would have encouraged them to go a different route so they could showcase their talents better. I hope to see them dancing again! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
