Yay! It’s always exciting when this happens and it can come from finally understanding a small change in technique, having build up the strength needed or having thought about it for so long that you mentally worked it out!
The scrunchiness can be combated by pushing through the shoulders, if you remember the up and down scapula exercises think of it as that type of motion. Understanding this will help keep pressure off the head and neck and build the strength needed for forearm stands!

The more you do it the easier it becomes! As mentioned start with a small string of movements until it becomes natural. Try using the combos in the routine and combo section. Each time you have a pole session do a bit of freestyling too, even if it feels forced or awkward keep at it. Recording yourself can be helpful too! Also pick music you know really well 💜
This video is for creating routines but it could help you with freestyling as well 5 tips for creating a routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f8463f-3884-4318-b2fd-2d1c0a9aa0eb

Hmmm, yes a video would be very helpful! As briwi mentioned you don’t need strength for pirouettes and it’s mostly about timing and balance. What style are you trying to do? I have I explain 3 different options for pole turns (pirouettes) in the lessons. 🙂
Here are the 3 lessons I have.
Under Pole Turn https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e6fe66-9b30-4fa4-915d-0b530a9aa0eb
Across Pole Turn https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e5e3f1-8e00-497e-8722-71580a9aa0eb
and the more challenging Quick Pole Turns https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cdbee89-4724-4171-b04d-61860ac37250

Jdub, try using the lessons here! Great for building beginner foundation, flexibility and more! 😊😊

Good question! In my lessons I suggest dancers learn inverts and also practice dancing on the balls of the feet because it improves balance, and strengthens the calves and feet and also improves leg lines. This makes a dancer more pleasing to watch. I also suggest women learn to invert while on the balls of the feet to help prepare them for wearing heels. Not something most men care to try…most, not all, there are some great male dancers who rock the heels! Anyway, another reason is that starting many moves like the Pole Hold while on the balls of the feet can help prevent jumping on to the pole and reminds students to use strength and control. So, do I think it totally a must, not if the goal is strength building, however if the dance aspect of it intrigues you I would think about incorporating some work while on the toes. 🙂

You can check the reviews of the seller in eBay. 😊

It’s a common feeling so you’re not alone there. First ask yourself why you pole, is the goal to enjoy yourself, get fit, compete? I’m hoping the goal is to enjoy, and if that’s the case the “level” you’re at doesn’t matter. One thing that can help set your mind at ease is to record your practice so you can look back and SEE that you really have become stronger and improved. Another thing is to PERFECT, to many student are in a rush to learn more and more and they forget to perfect the movements they know. Also some people think they train a lot, but unless you have been consistent about training at least 3 times a week for over 2 months you can’t expect to see huge gains. So what is your goal, why do you pole, how often do you really train and is it consistent?

Nessy, your support has been much appreciated this month! Being that I only teach online, it’s hard to know if what you’re posting is helpful or even appreciated when you can’t see peoples reactions in person!

I said at that point chair wins. However, I still need to make a final announcement don’t ya think? 🙂

I hope you guys enjoying having a monthly focus! 🌹Be sure to checkout my new workout routines for hammocks and fly gyms! 💜

Excited for March!! I’ll tell everyone what the final choice is March 1st ðŸ€

Must be because it’s Sunday, but I woke up and was laying there trying to decided if I would periscope! I knew I was working lower body today and I thought “Sunday bum day, of course”. Then I see this twerking thread!! It’s a booty kinda day I guess ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
If you don’t like something look away. It’s not like people try and trick others by labeling vidoes like “learn about Jesus” and then show twerking lol. Although I wouldn’t put that past some!

I try to avoid using it when I dance because it does make it greasy! ðŸ˜ðŸ™ƒðŸ™ƒ

I use to feel this way, (my whole life) turns out my issue was my body didn’t like dairy!! Not saying this is your problem, but I use to have phases like this and often feel blah and not interested in food. Then after a trip to NY on the plane ride home I realized I had felt great that whole trip and it was even a stressful situation, yet I felt good and not anxious. So I thought about the places we had eaten and realized I hadn’t had dairy!! I tried the lactose free stuff but it didn’t work. So now I’ve been very rescritive about dairy and it’s been life changing!!! I just thought I would mention it 💜

Girl on a pole, have you tried supplementing studio lessons with the lessons here? You’ll see greater progress if you’re able to refer back and watch. You’ll also find that working on all of the off pole training here is very helpful. 😊

He end result as you lift is a Twisted grip. A regular handspring and cartwheel doesn’t use a twisted grip. Here is a visual of a split grip inverted (not twisted as seen in the video still) Can you see the difference?
-
As in the spin from reverse grip into an inverted split grip. No, I don’t teach anything with a twisted grip.
-
Old thinking for sure Stefana! I’ve seen this video and know other girls who pose for nude sites and do aerial or pole work wonderfully…doesn’t matter to me. Our bodies are beautiful and we should be able to share (to those who are interested) and use them to express ourselves anyway we enjoy.
-
I remember you it’s nice to see you back! I’ve got 3 stage poles PS and 2 x stages, light and regular. They all have sway, you’ll get use to it, but I have worked with a few people that were scared of the movement, but it’s something you could get use to. I’ve not seen a pole on the x stage bend or break.

I’m assuming you’re talking about taking pole class? As mentioned, is there a reason you’re taking classes that focus on the gymnastics side, do you like it or is it just what they do? What brought you to pole in the first place? This aspect of pole is cool, but not for everyone and certainly not the only way to enjoy pole. Have you had a chance to read my Veena Method course, it might help you understand what kinds of expectations you should be placing on yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter
