Welcome!
I had/have a little issue with the arm strength but have very strong legs too so for some moves it takes a little more time and some not as long. The more you pole the better the arm strength. -
Aw that suck! But look at this this way. Now you know you can make a kick a$$ video so you can make an even better one when the batteries aren’t dead. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif

I think I turn mine counter clockwise.
For those of you hoping the release tools work well I can say they do. My pole was stuck since I put it up and I ended up snapping one of the rods (luckily didn’t damage the pole) but the new tools are fab! It was super easy to do by myself.

I’m having a blonde moment so I can’t remember if this would work with brass but for my chrome pole my level has a magnetic strip down one side so when i’m putting up the pole I can stick it to it and don’t have to keep adjusting hands to do everything. Not sure if it would work with brass but since I put up my pole alone it makes life tons easier.

Welcome!
This site can be what you make of it. Some post progress videos, some just use the forum or blogs for ideas/help/support, many do the chat on fridays (I think that’s when it is, I always forget when it is going on), and many do Veena’s lessons. In general there is no set norm of what to do, at the most basic level it is support and be supported by your fellow polers. -
Welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif I liked El Paso when I was younger but haven’t been there in years. Happy poling!

Congrats on your new pole and being able to sit on it already! That’s good. Don’t worry about the spins too much. Some people can spin and do well with that but then inverting or sitting or floorwork just doesn’t come very easy, where as others have the hardest time spinning and have to really work at it but then inverts or sits or floorwork or just dancing come easier. Everyone is different. It takes a while to get things and understand the motion and flow you body needs to do. Keep at it. The dvds or if you also decided to do veena’s lessons will really help.
I know you said you’re shy but perhaps one private lesson might be helpful to get that immediate feedback of what you can do. Some find it less nerverwracking than a class. I’m not sure which I would have prefered. I almost didn’t go to my first pole class because I was soo shy and scared, but fortunetly I’m cheap too and didn’t want to waste the money I already paid so I dragged myself there and ended up having a blast! So who knows. Just a suggestion.
Enjoy your new pole.

Welcome! I have the art of pole and s-factor book. I find the book helpful for warm-ups and floor work but being able to watch the moves actually happen is sooooo helpful. I def recommend the set. And people always rav about veena’s lessons too so that is a good option as well.

Welcome! I’ll be heading to Aussie world for the 1st time in May (closest I’ve every gotten was NZ). Have fun with your poling!
