Thank you all for the great insights! Sorry I’m responding so late, I just can hardly type on my phone and this is the first moment I’ve gotten to the computer and actually have some free time. That said- thankfully I was able to read your comments at the time! They were VERY helpful! My hamstring seems to be good as new now, all healed up.
@KelleyPerkins- YES to the range of motion strength training! That helped me to pay careful attention to my body and avoid unseen risks, and of course, get a bit stronger =)
@Serzi- It was such a relief to hear that someone else had had nearly the same exact experience! I took your advice to heart and kept myself cautious. Slow songs were a great suggestion. Thankfully I seem to be healed up within a month. I am glad I was able to take your advice!
@Grayeyes- Good call, there are a number of good hamstring discussions I found! Good lord, I’m sorry to hear yours was so severe and dragged on so long. I hope you are feeling better now! It looks like mine was a minor scare, but im still glad I took it seriously enough not to cause further damage. Thank you for adding your insights! Hopefully they will help someone else searching this at some point. -

Damnit i had too much happeninh to join in but yall are inspiring!!!

I first learned working in clubs as well and…wow..when i look back on the stuff many would do..,and way high up on the air…,and DRUNK.,oh lord. Joining sv a year ago really helped me gain perspective and while im still tempted to ‘just try’ some novel move after seeing it i feel like i can assess what is in reach and what is not (ahh shoulder mounts/dismounts…when will u be mine,..)

I cant wait to see everyone janeiroing!

Revisiting already learned moves works for me too…u find little subtle variations. Good on you for getting yourself motivated! I did one of veenas strength training warm up routines (i think it takes 20 mins?) Anyhow ive been hitting an abreviated version of that…and even being able to ons more crunch up or squat feels good. I love that adrenaline kick from exercise. Rest of the time its just floating in pretty shapes hehe

Oooh I’ wanna be in!! Just started getting into yoga so I appreciate it being for beginners! (And I’d rather oat here than ig, I only use that for art)

I feel real comfy in scorpio too (albeit only in my dominant right leg. Left leg grip hurts since i dont do it enough) that said i always used to grip my foot or the heal of my shoe and that made me feel secure and like i could just relax in the spin. Lately ive been grabbing the pole behind my head (i think with arm opposit the hooked leg) and now im in love with that shape! It looks so much more curved like a crescent moon. I also notice i can stretch into the move more like that.

Yes WOW unreal..thanks for sharing!

Yeah, a stripper pole needs to have…uh strippers. I actually haven’t seen the beyonce video, but I’m assuming she is leaning more toward booty pops than pole tricks? Honestly I find it weirder that pole dancing happens in clubs than that woman dance however they want to at home! Seriously if strip clubs ever evolve to the point of losing the pole (and I don’t think that’s entirely unrealistic ) I can already hear the people of the future saying “woman used to get naked on stage AND do crazy aeriel acrobatics high up in the air!”)

Oh and @chemgoddess…you’re a wise woman.

Woo hoo! I’m local too so I’ll be there (at least for the free stuff lol) I’d also like to meet up! I may be able to host low maintenance couch – surfer types. I live in walking distance to the French Quarter, but our house is an on going work in progress. (Although we do have a mighty fine tent the backyard 🙂 lol. I’m also happy to answer any questions about the city as well.

woo hoo! Can’t wait to hear about it! I also took a free intro to aerial and loved it. I saw a lot of overlap between it and pole, except to me silks seemed to distribute weight more and rely on more body parts with less stress on the arms. My favorite (and probably everyones) is when you get to ‘unwrap’ yourself and tumble down. I like the sense of learning to trust my body like that. Anyhow, no advice since I’m still real green, but plenty of shared enthusiasm!

Ooooh! Thanks for posting!

Yeah, that is an annoying, poorly written article. But good for her! I used to juggle on the street & street performers of every kind get a lot of crap. (It’s just part of the job.) I’m glad she’s out there doing it.
