Thank you! I’m glad you find the programs helpful. Besides the handspring what other moves do you think people struggle with?

Here’s a little video I did with a few invert options! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/53723d53-4e68-47e7-b77a-0eec0a9aa0eb I do different inverts depending on the style of dance so feel free to check out some of my videos for ideas too 🙂

If it’s a brass x pole and tall, over 9 ft, I am very careful about letting it sag, it tends to be such a soft metal that over time it could bow if you are not careful. I haven’t had any issues with my other finishes of xpoles. I often leave mine in one piece (dome off) and lay it on the floor until I set it up again.
I’m guessing xpole would tell you to fully disassemble the pole and store it in it’s bag 🙂
If you do leave it together be sure to check the everything is tight before you use it, some goes for if you leave it up!

Feel free to give me a shout when you upload something.

Do you have a video of what you’re having trouble with? I’m not sure I understand completely what you’re looking for?

I don’t think I have one specific tutorial for that but have you looked at the static spin lessons here? At the end I demonstrate spinning pole technique for each spin as well. I have spinning pole help in the bonus lesson pole section too. I can be found towards the end.

This one can be very painful at first if you haven’t been using the elbow pits much yet! Try working on moves like partial split grip, but with an elbow pit grip! Veena’s tips for split grips https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54aa2650-4760-480b-8b20-340c0a9aa0eb This can help get the pits ready and yes, arch and squeeze so you’re not just relying on skin!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REMIND ME OF THESE MOVES! 🙂

Don’t forget to follow me! I do challenges every month and I try my best to always include easier variations so everyone can participate.

Any kind of move that uses the knee pit will help strengthen so don’t neglect trying them.
Here are some other things you can try.

Some like it dirty some like it clean. I think the advice about clean your pole is more for back in the day when grip aids were not so prevalent and about not wearing lotion or oil that could make it slick! Like others have said depending on skin type, pole finish and environment you might prefer a dirty pole. Clean poles can be nice for some skin types tho!
StrangeFox, I also have the worst time gripping my brass after cleaning it to a shine with brasso….so annoying! I only us brasso about once a year. I really like steaming my poles if I find they just need a cleaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw

LOL no, I don’t have a lesson for it. Might be something to add to the bonus lessons in the future!

Hi and welcome!! Track your progress using photos, video or notes. Then when you feel you haven’t gotten very far you can look back and see how far you’ve come! If you haven’t already watch this video 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd121f2-bf68-46c6-9306-11770ac37250

I have 2 one is our branded veena pole (no longer sold) that grip was lovely but still took some getting use to because it was so grippy when warm but didn’t leave me with calluses which was great.
The x pole PC has more, hmmm bite? I guess would be the word. It’s not more gentle than any other finish, it’s possibly more apt to give you pole burn (I’ve found). I think as Allyson mentioned they might be referring to skin allergies.
If more grip is what you want I have found that this combo helps (no they didn’t pay me to say this) in fact neither company even said thanks for the mention lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw

Depends on where it’s loose! If the whole things moves down by the base it’s probably the hex screws at the very bottom that are not tightened enough. If there is movement at the joint then you need the joint tool to tighten it. The joints inside show you which way to turn it to loosen or tighten.

Wow, that’s an amazing story. It was not wise of him to target pole dancers that’s for sure! I’m glad you all are ok!!!!!
-
This happens so much, you’re not alone and it’s ok to feel discouraged…at first! Just know that once you have the muscle memory of doing something it comes back a bit easier than when you first started learning.
The main reason behind creating the 30 day program was not just for new dancers but those who have taken time off. The best thing you can do is to get started again and not focus on where you were before but have fun with what you’re doing now. I have started over so many times I can’t even count! Remember pole can be beneficial and fun at any level so don’t focus too much on where you are, just enjoy!

Have you tried the Nailed it shoulder mount program?

There use to be a website but I think it’s gone now.

Welcome to the site Akaye!

That’s exciting I hope you love it!

I think this is pretty common when you become passionate about anything your friends aren’t. I’d say most of the people I call friends all have similar interests. It can be frustrating at first but as you do begin to make new friends with the same interests it get’s easier and the people who are important to your life stay around even if you are obsessed with a aerial!

We’re halfway through!! This week is my favorite one. It’s not too late to join in the fun and possibly win a custom piece of art from Ponypoison memes!

I use to love lifting, but it’s been years since I’ve bothered with a gym membership. The majority of my training is on pole, body weight or yoga. I do have a set of heavy adjustable dumbbells at home a suspension trainer and big ball and items like that.
If you’re looking for a workout using the pole or body weight try any of my 30 day nailed it programs! I designed them so you don’t have to come up with daily routines, it’s all done for you stretching is included!!! There are lots of routines here for strength, you’ll find some good ones that are not even pole related. A lot of people like the hammock routines.
