i just recently learned this one, I do it from knee hold position now too, wish my camera was working or i would do a demo and put it in slow motion for you!!
the main trick is to be ready to curl your torso to be facing the ceiling as soon as you ‘drop’ also keeping your leg that will be making contact with the pole at all times tight and in a closed shape is important too. I also make the mistake of going slow at first.

nothing should keep you from perusing what you want to do even more so if its a healthy athletic form of self expression. I only think pole dance might be more difficult when you get to higher levels, but it also depends on how athletic you are right now. I’m 5’5" and i think i’m kinda at the taller rage for alot of polers. but some of the greats are taller gals as well, felix and bobbi are tall women i believe, (or the appear so with their long legs)

Is this pole Jam still active?
And what exactly do you do at a pole jam or is it just lessons?

Sapphire — If you can make it up, we’d LOVE to have you!! There will be all levels of folks coming, and it should be a lot of fun. I think we will also be going out and partying that evening. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

do all the workshops take place in the same studio?

when I first started dancing I knew a girl who used a pair of white Pleaser boots everyday. Honestly I would not suggest going the boot route, because she got to the point where she could not do pole tricks with out them. Confidence and Fear is a HUGE factor to your learning (in my opinion) If you want to see what the boots can do for you, why don’t you buy them for at home training, and leave them when you go to work?

I’ve done this one a few times, you should already be able to do front and back hook spins with one arm, and a teddy as well. For a split sec you will have to hold your weight with one arm, but the more important part is being flexible enough to get your legs up to your arm. Check this by seeing how far you can touch your toes or past that on the ground.
At first i tried by putting my pole on spin mode and just pulling my leg up to the pole to see if it would get up there when i was using my own momentum on static.
Hope this has helped a little!

thank you poledanceromance and simone glad to hear from both of you over here!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

i love the scorpio switch too! I just spend a hour figuring out how to do it that quickly cause its so confusing from the video, but i got it, not only do you have to watch the leg movements but her torso as well seemed to be the major trick to it, its close to the end of a holly drop in the amount of time you have to catch the ending move.
