What a great thread!!
(1) How long do you practice?
Oh geez, well lately not much!!! I’m hoping this summer I’ll be able to practice at least an hour or more each time I pole….(2) How often do you practice?
Well, lately not very often, but again I’m hoping to get on at least every other day or so.(3) Do you just freestyle or do you have a plan of action?
Usually just freestyle, but I’m not progressing like everyone else is on the site haha!! So I’ll have to step it up and start working on some different things.(4) Do you stretch before, after or before & after practicing?
I used to try and stretch EVERY day, even if I wasn’t dancing, but I’ve been slacking on THAT too!!! So now I’m starting back at the beginning…I’ll try to stretch every night and then when I practice before and after.(5) Do you incorporate any strength training & conditioning exercises into your practices?
Hmm, I figure that the dancing is enough strength training and conditioning exercises….but I’m not sure. LOL, what was the question again?? Strike that. No I don’t do any strength training.(6) Do you self-teach, take classes, or both?
I have Veena’s lessons, which are absolutely incredible and then I used to take lessons here where I live but I’ve stopped because I’m in a dance troupe now; so I’d rather have Veena’s lessons and then practice in the studio on Friday nights when there’s open pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
lol i loved this post, the good news is that you’re alright and it sounds like you didnt get hurt too badly!!! i think for me, when i try to do the scorpio, i do it just like veena’s dismount in her video (do you have her lessons? she shows you a good dismount), i bring my free leg back up onto the pole, so im in a snake position and then slowly descend to the ground that way.

if you can’t afford a crash mat, you could always use your sofa’s cushions and couch pillows! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hmm, I know Veena’s a big fan of Ikea; I think she mentioned they have great mirrors (I could be wrong though, don’t quote me on that) but you could go to their website and pick out lots of huge mirrors for really great prices. Or if you have craft stores like Michaels, I know they always have mirrors on sale there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

oh i hope that jungle posts under this thread! i think he does mostly spinny mode! i know for me i get too sick and dizzy while on spin mode https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif – i feel completely out of control, so i stick to static all the time. i admire anyone who can do spinny though since its such a different type of technique that takes a strong stomach https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hmmm, have you tried inverting on your weaker side, so that your dominant hand ends up on top?? i hope that made sense, im sick right now so my mind is all messed up…i feel like my brain has been replaced with a bunch of stuffed animals or something lol. i think ive inverted on my weaker side when i was trying to learn the extended butterfly so that my stronger hand would be be in a better position……let us know what happens!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
