    Go from superman… split your legs, choose the leg which will have the foot against the pole. That leg bring down and keep the knee tight to the pole and foot on. The knee placement is really important, keep your chest up but don't pull yourself in too much like you would do on a figure head to shoulder mount for instance as that makes you loose the grip. keep bum in position while your pulling your chest high and of course your back leg is not just out but also over in a thigh hold kind of position. Have someone spot you by being there to catch your shoulders so that you don't faceplant the floor. x

    I think your friend seems to have an issue with sexuality and not pole dancing as such and to be honest shes clearly not going to change her opinions so i'd just swipe her off my list. I personally don't like performing with my stomach out, therefore when i perform i wear leotards which have pvc sides to them allowing me still to grip. HOWEVER thats my own personal choice and i would love to feel confident enough to wear hotpants and a bra and perform (plus it would be easier) there are options for those who don't want to wear the skimpier of costumes but if you've got a wicked body then why not. if your happy with it why not? its no less than you'd wear on the beach and thats what i always say if people comment on it. I always actually say pole dancing is really unsexy because it is, burns, bruises terrible dismounts when learning moves. To make this look good takes a lot more work than the initial strength to do the move!! and unfortunately your mate can't see that but then she also can't appreciate any other sports either because anyone where the athlete is showing they're figure is clearly looking for sexual attention. Personally i don't give a crap if blokes are staring at my pictures of my pole dancing and they can make really rude comments too if they wish because all i respond to that crap is that it takes a ridiculous amount of strength and i'm probably stronger than they are. Most appreciate that rarely do i get the pervy lads now because they know its not just a spin and sticking your arse out. Some people wont ever change or open their minds to it, but thats their problem because the world is moving forward and we're not stuck in the 1920s anymore. Keep positive your doing something you enjoy and will be really strong and as you progress you'll be surprised how many people comment at how impressed they are. x

    I would like to see some more unusual moves and less known moves/combos in both intermediate and advanced categories. I would also like to see more strength/conditioning exercises. Some unusual spins as well. Sometimes i find everyones on a craze with pole and is wanting to do the same things, while i still want to aim for an iron x say, its a long road of progression and i think its really nice to find some harder moves or interesting combos. Some interesting floorwork as well would be great. I already have fallen in love with quite a few of your beginner floor work style moves and its great as you have different levels for people who have flexibility or not. Thanks very much!! x

    I try to get my bf to stretch me but it hurts him as he has a poorly back. But prefer partner assisted so much more than on my own as I know I stretch further. The wall I find hard to push closer unless I go ubder our ballet bar and pull with my arms. I think the machines would be good but some are pretty expensive 🙁 x

    The machines are used to push you further exactly like partner stretching but for when you don’t have a partner. Couldn’t tell you a good brand but have heard good things about them. Stretching box splits I find really hard and I need a wall or partner stretching to push me further these use exactly the same concept. X
