Thanks pankake! I think it had more to do with more girls in the class with me…made me feel a little less awkward, since I dont have a pole buddy to go with me. Lol. But I still might invest in the SV lessons. Has a big part of your learning come from there?

Yay! I'm glad the second class went so much better!
I did find great value in having the SV lessons along with taking studio lessons. Why? because if I was struggling with a move in class, the days I wasn't in pole class, I could work on it through SV lessons and the majority of the time thanks to Veena's detailed lessons, I would have the move by next class! It is great to have the ability to continue to work on a move at home with SV lessons as your guide 🙂

I concur, Veena's lessons are totally worth the investment – I didn't realize how valuable they were until I canceled my lessons here to start going to a studio (it was an either/or thing for my budget) and instantly missed the ability to watch the lessons.
Veena does such a great job of breaking it down, doing the move from all different angles, showing different options, and building you up for the next step. An instructor can do that too, but you only get her for what, an hour or two a week? She has other students to teach, she can't magically move in slow motion, and you can't sit there and hit "replay" to see her do it as many times as you need to understand the move.
As an intermediate dancer I find that in-person classes are valuable for instant feedback and support, encouragement to try things that scare me, and to instill some regularity into my practice. Veena's lessons are good for seeing the larger picture of how moves work together and progress into each other, and for practicing and fine-tuning at home.
