Ok I just watched your vid…..You have your inverting under control so that’s good! Sooo it hurts on the opposite side that you invert on?? right? Also when you say hurt do you mean sharp pain or dull or stiff and sore? Its hard to tell from the vid but, it looks like you MIGHT be lifting up into the move with your back sightly rounded forward and the shoulders are up…which would engaging your rhomboids heavily. So by not pulling your shoulder back and down first you can get that pain. Soooo try pressing the shoulders down and back first, then you can’t round your back and over stress your rhomboids. Always back and down hold it and them move into the invert. I hope that helps…..let me know if it doesn’t.
Take a break from inverts for a few days, then try out my advice, I love your dancing and want to see you feeling better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Good Hamstring flexibility is needed for this move and like fleur said grab high up with that top arm or you’ll risk falling back towards the pole and smacking your head!

Ok sooo I looked and can’t seem to find that show! All I remember is it was on after the show knitty gritty so I think that was HGTV not DIY but…it was 2 years ago so the show probably isn’t on anymore booo. I will try and rack my brain to remember how they did the pattern, if I can remember I’ll post it for you all. THINK THINK THINK! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Great site!! Now I wish I had a spot for my sewing machine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I might have to make room for it some how!! I did see a DIY episode where this girl makes her own corsets. If I can find it I’ll let you know….from what I remember it wasn’t too tough. It was fit you your own body making it perfect.

Awww what a terrible first experience for that poor girl https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Why wouldn’t her friend take her to a beginner class?

Try working on your hamstring flexibility. Then you can lower your upper body farther down the pole, this will make getting your legs over your head easier. Engage those abs don’t focus on the kicking, this is a hard move to do with control. So its best to not kick up into the move, give a slight push off, but if you need a huge kick then you might not be ready for this one from the ground. You can still get into the pencil from a cross knee or cross ankle release. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif You’ll get it!!

However I can monkey climb, does anyone else find it easier to climb with one leg (and other inner upper thigh) rather than 2?
I’m not sure what a monkey climb is….but if your trying to do a pole climb you don’t use your upper thighs. The pole should run from the top of the foot/ankle across the shin up to the inside of just above the knee. There’s nothing wrong with being self taught, so don’t worry about that, have you thought about the online lessons here? I have strength training moves and stretching too, proper form is always included in the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
I’m editing this because I just saw your vid. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Your pole climb looks fine to me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
