Adamseve, how often do you pole dance? Does it hurt only in the morning after pole dance or just every single morning? Or are they painful and stiff all day? If your worried about something,its always best to go see your DR.
It is a very common complaint of pole dancers, when I first started pole dancing, my fingers hurt so bad I couldn’t grip a steering wheel!! Be sure your stretching your fingers, hands, and wrists after pole dancing that can help. If I take a week off and then start up again, my fingers along with the rest of my body will be sore and stiff too. I don’t know what your dancing/work out schedule looks like but, it might just be a matter of cutting back on some of the spin and invert work. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

ive been meaning to post this question for a while.
i get how to upload the pics and i made one of them primary but the little picture just doesn´t show up on the posts.
people who have been on the site for longer all have their little avatars and the more recent users don`t. ive also noticed that some of the older members´ avatars dissapeared when they changed to new primary fotos. i guess its not really important but i did like it alot before with all the avatars on the threads, it was nice to be able to put a face (or whatever image) to the names.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif frida https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifI agree Freda. I wonder why the avatars arent showing up for some of us…
We are aware of the problem https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Thank you for your patience. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif You should still be able to upload, but your avatar just might not show up right now. -

Veena, could you possibly recommend some exercises to do at home? thanks
I do have strength training moves to prepare you body for pole dance in my online lessons, only one of them needs the pole (the pole up) with trains your upper back, but all the rest can be done with out a pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif There is also some nice stretching at the end of the cool down in the lessons. The best thing to do is train your whole body, in pole we use our whole body. You’ll love having a pole at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
I ordered a size up from what I normally get in dance shoes. I wear a 7 1/2 in street shoes, but all of my heels are 7 because they don’t have half sizes. I order these boot in an 8 and think I should have gone with the 7. I ordered mine off of Amazon. All of my dance shoes have stretched a bit so thats why I go with a size down…if they had a half size it would be perfect.

Just tighten the little screws on the very bottom of the pole..let me know if it worked.
-
Hey sissy do you mean the whole pole dome and all or just the pole part? If its just the pole I’m guessing you need to tighten the little hex screws…the ones that switch the pole from spin to static, if they are loose it will wiggle back and forth.

Oh Trena that sounded like such a fun time!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I wish I could have been there and it was super cool you were able to go to a pole comp! Don’t feel bad Foxy, my party was in my parents church basment, with a bunch of old ladies and of course, what’s a party without bridal bingo and watery red juice! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Ahhh life growing up on a farm. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_porc.gif

I HAVE THOSE BOOTS..in purple of course! The heel is fine for dancing in, because it has a nice flat bottom, on the main ball of the foot part. The grip is fantastic, makes climbs super easy, just remember if your wearing sticky boots then there is always the chance you could get stuck on a move. I have had that happen going into the superman and almost did a face plant! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I too suffer from chicken leg *braawck* these boots are a tiny bit loose, tiny and almost all boots are loose on me, I wear long socks under and then they stay up fine.

Adamseve, I am positive Veena has a million preperatory exercises for inversions, check them out! Besides, I think it would be strange for me to post a tutorial here, I have great respect for Veena as a capable and excellent instructor
Fleur
LOL not a million, but yes I do, and I have much more to come!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif And remember, working on perfecting your spins (on static mode) will also strengthen your whole upper body. -
Wow! Just popped on and saw this post. Thanks for posting this Fleur I’m going to make it a sticky!! I always get a bit nervous when I see a new dancer going right on into inverts a few weeks in, yes some are lucky and have had prior strength building exercise and they can jump ahead, but most need to build up the strength. You are 100% right about taking it slow, pole dance is not all about the inverts and trick, at least not for me. I feel its an art and can be a great form of self expression. You can get a wonderful work out with out inverts. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif A well performed spin can be just as impressive as a invert. Take your time enjoy your body and your movement, inverts will come…and if they never do so what? It is still pole dance just the same.
Here are 3 examples of just transitions, spins, floorwork…I think I have one invert on the long dress dance, and one in the youtube dance but the point is I often dance with out inverting. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs3i-ryO1qM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Now for those of you who do have my lessons…I feel I should explain this again…they are posted in order of difficulty, and you will see inverts are waaaaay off on page 7!! You have a lot of moves including strength work, to master before moving on to inverts. Now I can’t be there to tell you what to do but, the lessons are set up in that order for a reason. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
REMEMER IT IS NOT A CONTEST TO SEE HOW SOON YOU CAN INVERT. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Always judge your progress against YOUR PROGRESS not the girl who started the same time as you. Pole dance is WONDERFUL, empowering, fun and a great way to get in shape, BUT only when done properly. Shoulders back and down ladies…back and down https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif LOL
Happy poling ladies https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
