inverting with heels?
-
lucifairy ~~ I had been working on just conditioning exercises like polegirl just suggested. Lots of tuck, and pole holds ( for the I found that climbing up the pole and then doing a pole hold would make me hold the position longer )
Laney ~ one of my instructors also says to learn with heels first but it was just impossible for me. Working barefoot and on my toes gave me the chance to build strength in the mean time

@ polergirl -Oh I know. I wasn't saying it was a good idea, we are just encouraged to do it.
I tried dancing this week without shoes because my feet hurt and I felt so much more springy! I love people dancing without shoes when they have beautifuly pointed feet. my feet are awful though so I feel like I need the shoes to hide them! If I try and point my toes they look worse!
The harder moves she doesnt seem to mind so much if we take the shoes off

Sorry to sound a bit blonde, tuck and pole holds? I think we have different names where i learn…how do you do those?

lol its ok, I might not even be calling them by their real name. One is done standing beside your pole, with your hands positioned the same way that you use gor inverting. In this position tuck both legs up to bring your knees as close as possible to your chest. That alone has improved my core strength tremendously. The other move I am talking about is where you stand behind the pole, one hand holding the pole at about chin level, the other right above it. Then lift your feet off the ground as if you were trying to hit your butt with your feet, hold this as long as possible. In this one I found it better to get a little higher up on the pole instead of lifting my feet right off the ground but that might just be something weird that only I find easier. I am horrible at explaining so I hope I made sense.
