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!

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!

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
