Moves after 1 week!
Hey everyone, for those of you who didn’t read my intro under New Users, I’m new to pole dancing and this site. Yesterday (Wednesday) marked my 1 week since I started pole dancing and I wanted to show off all I’ve learned.
I can do these spins both left and right handed equally: (listed in the order I learned them)
back hook
fireman
martini – the one where the pole is between your legs and one is bent and one is straight https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
diva
chair
showgirl
and I’m working on the open V, but I can’t hold my legs up evenly yet.I can also do a basic pole sit and let go for a few seconds without falling or slipping, and I can do a basic kick-up invert and can let go with one arm (almost can let go entirely!)
Transitions are my weakness; no problems doing them individually, but piecing them together is another story…
But I’ll keep up the practicing and work on building more strength before I do anything more daring. No one offers lessons in my area and I can’t afford the online lessons here, so this forum and YouTube is all I have! Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Oh, and I almost forgot: I also ended up with several bruises on the inside of my left calf, inside of my right knee, outside of my right thigh, ribs on my left side, and my right hip. No achievement is without its sacrifices. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

That’s fantastic! Keep up the good work. The open V will come in time. It’s all about lifting your legs with your abs…not your thigh muscles.
I am also "self-taugh" for the most part through youtube, pj’s and right here. I have had a few classes at a local pole dancing studio, but I really wasn’t impressed with how they organized things. Apparently, alot of people weren’t either b/c they are now closed!
Practice practice practice….
Hope to see a vid someday! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

ahh you’re the best, thanks for posting that. i learned that one as the ‘straight leg fireman’ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif but martini spin sounds much cuter. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

For some reason spin names just don’t stick in my head. I can’t count the number of times people have told me/shown me what a Martini Spin is, but the next time I come across it I still go blank and wonder what a Martini Spin is https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hey Jacq https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif
Just checking up on your progress. What new moves have you learned since your last post? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I unfortunately haven’t learned anything new yet, but I’m working on it. The day after I posted this, I tried to let go during both and invert and sitting and wasn’t able to hold on, so I’ve been going back and forth with that. I’ve also been working a lot and there were a couple days I ended up doing double shifts at work and was too tired to practice when I got home ( 6:00 AM to 8:15 PM = suck).
My goals right now are to get those holds more solid, to work towards doing one-handed spins (I think it’s more fear of falling than strength…), and transitions transitions transitions! I also can’t seem to master the cradle spin – it looks like it would be insanely easy, but I’m clinging to the pole for dear life instead of gracefully spinning down it.
I’m hoping to maybe put up a video of some kind this week; I had to talk it over with my husband because he didn’t like the idea of me posting videos of myself on the internet. I had to let him check out the site and convince him it’s not like YouTube and that this isn’t looked at as a porn site. He said ok, but as long as I’m not wearing just my underwear. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

So yeah right after I posted last, I tried doing a spin one-handed and I got it… on video, too. I posted a vid of some clips if you haven’t checked it out already. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif And it was also a good day overall because I was able to stay up on the pole and got that on video, too.
