xpert. I regret not buying it and buying only the xsport. I also regret not trying the finishes out at local studios. The $100 in gas I would have spent going to different studios semi-local would have made up for the almost $500 I will have to drop in the future for the pole that I want.

When you do pike to superman, assuming you’re inverting from the right, keep your lower hand (right) in the same grip, but bend your elbow to be perpendicular to the pole. The same way you might do jade. This is just to stabilize you while you reach your left arm around your outer leg (left). When your left hand grips around the left leg, it should be faxing thumb up. Now that you have both arms secure, flip the right hand thumb down into cup grip. Push with your right hand and flip yourself the same way you would from invert into crucifix and the slide down– except instead of sliding down, use the left hand to pull you up into superman. Once you understand the push-pull mechanic, you can eliminate using the right hand as a support system as the first part of the move for a smoother transition. Hope this helps.

I’ve only ever done titanic without the foot on the pole. There is a lot of lower back mobility involved. I feel like the foot on the pole makes it confusing, like I drop my hips too much. I find pushing your chest out the same way you do in an elbow stand helps

I was told by a studio owner that I needed to go back to beginner classesbecause I couldn’t do a sit. In a climate I was not used to, during rainy weather. I had been pole dancing for about 10 months, could do Janeiro, shoulder mount, and aysha. She was rude and I almost got my stuff and would have had I not attended with a friend. Oh, by the way, said friend fell out of an unspotted shoulder mount. The teacher knew she had never done it and didn’t spot her anyway. The worst studio experience I have had by far

Try incorporating a sv challenge into a lesson. Like, use a prop, do a short freestyle on the non Dom side, dance to something you’ve never heard of. My instructor refers to sv for most things. Try doubles or some sort of partners activity other than spotting. Good moods are contagious.

I have had the same issue recently on my desktop using chrome and firefox. Not so much on my phone.

Hummingbird and downsplits I saw a girl once doing downsplits and her foot slipped off the pole and her face went right into the pole. She had done the move a thousand times, and still messed up. So I am terrified of that one, and won't do it unless spotted.
Hummingbird is the same thing (humingbird is cupid, but your back is directly away from the pole instead of being to the side of the pole like in knee hold). I saw a girl fall out of it to her face. You can drop from hummingbird into downsplits, which is like, ultimate terrifying.
Althought I'm afraid of anything and everything, including jellyfish, elevators, and bridges that go over water. |: -
I read Casey’s post and thought of Bring It On. Pole edition.

topless is fine for me. But never nude. Even then, I’m always recording. What if I get really close to a move? I won’t be able to show anyone.

I feel huge in comparison to other girls…I was trying to do straight leg aerial shoulder mounts at my studio the other day….Stubbing your toe on the cieling is the worst thing ever.
I feel like the smaller girls can do more because there's less of them. Yeah, 90 lbs at 5'5" is probably proportionally about the same as 5'10" and 140 (which is what I am). But really. you expect me to believe gravity likes me the same?
I got over it really quick. But I'm also a natural dancer. Normally customers tell me, "I don't normally like thick girls, but I love the way you dance." It all comes down to expression 🙂

I regret not learning on spin…I feel like people who learn on spin advance quicker and have bigger muscles because of the g-force that comes with spin. Probably not even remotely true, it's just one of those things my brain finds logical 😛
