Sliding is normal. However, if you have very sweaty hands or dry cold hands then think about grip aid. You’ll want an antiperspirant for sweaty hands (stay away from waxy ones) and for dry hands try this mix https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5e418c06-b198-4d3d-a806-7ffeac110005

Can you explain a bit more? Are you saying you feel like your hips are loose or unsupportive when dancing?

Hi! What kind of pole do you have now? 😊
Xpole, lupit, lil mynx and Platinum Stages are the main pole companies. The only one I haven’t tired is a Lupit pole.

Great! Hope it went well!

I’m so happy to hear that! 💜😊💜

I’m just finishing a pole finish video (won’t be ready til next week). Those are the best grip aid options for sweat and in Canada. Aviod any that are waxy or moisture adding. TG finish and swear don’t play well together. Brass or stainless is best. Maybe see if someone wants to do a pole swap or try selling yours?
I hear amazing things about Carpe lotion but also hear it’s not in CA 😔 Maybe so a search for antiperspirant hand lotion where you live?

Oh, if you’re trying to use my 30 program it has all the info in it. Read all descriptions and watch the lessons fully and you’ll be all set 😉

It’s a bit of a complex question because several things factor in.
Are you stretching to gain or maintain? If your goal is to increase, stretching to gain flexibility, then doing 4 sessions a week is a lot, unless your a pro and it’s your job. Just like strength training you need to let the muscles recover. If you’re training properly you’re not just passively sitting in poses.
Are you following a program for these sessions? If not it’s a good idea. At least have a written plan to follow so you can track progress and switch things up once it’s needed. If you split the stretching sessions you’ll want to make sure you’re not doubling up on muscle groups!
Are you working out or pole dancing in addition to all of this flexibility training? If so, I suggest flexibility training same day as pole or strength training. Again, that’s if you are pushing for gains. Stretching to maintain can and should be done regularly. If your poling and working on flexibility you need to let your muscle recover or you’ll start to feel tighter and you can end up with overuse injuries.

What grip aids have you tried and do you have sweaty, dry or between skin?

Great, keep me posted!

Yes, once you purchase the lessons the 30 day take off is the best place to start.
I only have a handful of free lessons to try once a members trial has ended. This routine is free https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50bf696c-332c-43be-8cce-433a0ac37250 However once you purchase you gain access to ALL the lessons and EVERY section and program. There’s no extra things to purchase, you get it all. 🤗

You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!

Yes, in calf raises focus on the weight being equal and through the center of the foot, but yes, more towards the big toe in your case. DON’T allow them to roll out! Even if you can only do a few that’s ok. These muscles are already weak and probably stretched so we want to strengthen them and lengthen the opposing muscles.
Focus on these https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e8cf3ef-dd2c-44d7-a822-3f5dac110005 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e8cf2dd-9020-44b7-b4b5-3f2fac110005 to strengthen
You can gently stretch the inside of the foot like this….make sure there’s only enough pressure to feel a stretch and try this with with ball of the foot on the ground (as shown or pointed toes). You can even do these when sitting. Note that if you feel your already very mobile then skip the stretch. This would be if you feel you have an imbalance.

Oh! I’ve got way more you can work on without a pole here so keep that in mind! Even most of the new VIP plans I post weekly, you will find things you can work on that don’t need a pole.
That would be great to hear how it goes as far as rust etc! You’d be surprised at how active threads still are…people just look now, and don’t reply LOL
