To put your mind at ease i had the same concern…. I’ve only been poling 7 months, totally self taught and with these teachers i was nervous thinking "what?? are we gonna be learning holly drops and death lays!?" haha so i wrote Karol and asked her if she thought my skill level was okay to take a workshop with her and not be in over my head and she said absolutely…she said that most likely wouldn’t be too many SUPER advance people in the class…however worst case scenario i have some great skilled girls all around me to give me pointers =) hope that helps
OO! also if you are not a USPDF member you cant see the list of classes, but a bit up in this thread (i think page 22 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif ) i posted the workshop schedule for USPDF and they have the skill level next to the class, there are beginner-intermediate classes, tho not many, and i believe Body and Pole has floor work and flexy classes for all levels as well…i just wasn’t sure what my skill level was b/c I had never been to a studio with a teacher and whatnot who could tell me so that’s why I asked. Karol told me I would be at Inter-advance if that helps anymore
poley love <3

now we need to work on a hotel that’s gonna be close to space theater AND the workshops, which all we know as of now is they are in Manhattan. site says that Feb 1st we will get the exact location…and i think i saw on this thread that they may have a section of a hotel blocked out for ppl with USPDF or something like that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif im not sure but if so, that’s great… but its so early yet so im sure we wont know for a while out, but we need to start making some roomie arrangements b/c i plan to bunk up =)
just passing on information for anyone looking
poley love!

good call on flag dismount from brass monkey David

this happens to me all the time! we seem to be at about the same level pole wise and that can be leading to your frustration too, the beginning moves are easier, therefore take least time to get, so you may get 3-4 moves in a practice and then when you’re working on trick that can take months to get and it gets frustrating!! just keep at it, listen to your body and it will come to ya =)
good luck!!

I live in the burbs of Illinois and i’m always looking to pole too!! hit me up we should plan a lil somethin!

this spin is killer!…i decided to work on it tonight, I just cant get my back split leg(the one you pivot on) out from behind the pole when i go to spilt https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif …Roxy does it so badass! but i did do it into a TG Aysha and that was pretty sweet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif …ive been trying to think of cool ways for me to get into TG hold without just reaching up and i’m far away from a RG to TG…i still need the floor to get up there…now if i could only make it look more fluid I’d be set…but either way Im keeping this spin high on my "tricks to own" list =)
-
killer idea!

ok ok Im so in for w/e we do, we for sure need to find a hotel and what not…lemme know, i’m ready whenever, I am buying 2 tickets =))
kick ass, smooches hooches!

when i do my pretzel i do i serious RG, i kick way out to the side, grab high and i use my L hand (for me its my sub dom) and kinda PUSH off the pole when i begin to wrap around, it lifts me higher on the pole so i can spin more, pants is GREAT for this move to help you spin when you’re learning, but really its not the type of spin you go around a trillion times. As for on spinny you kinda just walk into it and then will spin pretty but you dont need it. And i always just kinda step out of it, i use my right (bc i wrap with my left) leg and kinda step farther away from the pole than you would think and i spin out…i learned it from and alethea austin video, her twilight video or something like hat…good luck with it, everyone thinks its impressive when they see it =)

i got my brass monkey from the floor, i get into a handstand then hook in for my brass monkey…to get the feeling, so you could try that. Im working on my SG straight edge bc i have my ext butterfly super easy now from catrwheel mount, but like everyone said they all suggest caterpillar FIRST…sooo im working on that (not doing very well haha). When i was stuck with those moves you are, i learned butterfly, and ext butterfly, plank, iguana, and practiced superman from the ground too. I want my straight edge so bad…like u said, BIG building move there =) good luck!!!
-
I agree with the person above who said to the untrained poler the aysha isnt ASSS impressive as we all know it is. A reverse grab and pretzel usually get people going AWWW…and i cartwheel into an ext butterfly and all my friends think its the coolest thing ever, when really its a piece of cake. But if you really want to toss it in there, i agree going to butterfly would be a safe and still impressive 2nd option. good luck!!

I lost about 18 pounds and a couple sizes. Know what, I ain’t any happier with my body.
this is so true!!! once you lose wieght you’ll hate ur boobs then you’ll hate this or that, its how i am anyway. Do it for you not for anyone else, if that’s what they want at that club that’s their perogative but dont let it get ya down lady! keep up the good work! I used to work for VIP’s gentelman’s club in chicago (holla chitown sista!) as a spokes model so i know how it goes in the industry.
