You can get Dry Hands at Hush and Liquid Grip at Popeye’s when you come though.

Can you bring the pole closer to your neck, where there is more muscle for padding?

Lots of bandaids just don’t stay in place very well. If it was me, I would put the bandaid on and then use athletic or hockey tape (don’t know what goat tape is) to hold the bandaid on.

Thank you Veena, this is excellent! I really love your attention to proper progressions and realistic expectations. I think it’s very easy for us to forget about that. This is going to come in really handy. Your generosity in making it free is awesome!

I would go to the intermediate class and keep in mind that it can take several weeks to get to know and “gel” with a new group of people. As others have mentioned, try and be a leader for cheering each other on and getting to know the other students. I also started pole with many years of dance background and found that coordination for beginner moves came easily. As I started working on moves that require pole-specific strength there was less advantage and I didn’t get things on the first try any more. I think it’s okay to let people know that you have a background that gives you an advantage so they know there’s a reason why it seems easier for you. For example, when my classmates comment on my flexibility I remind them that I’ve been stretching for 30 years already so they shouldn’t feel discouraged if they’ve only been at it for 6 months. We are all on our own journey.

I agree, this website is terrific – so much excellent information organized very well!
A small thing that I would find handy is a drop-down list from the Lessons button (similar to idea #1 above). That way I could jump right to the section I’m after instead of going to the lessons page and then to the page of the section I’m after. I tend to jump between my favourite videos and the lessons quite a bit.

Great article! You’ve reminded me that I just need to get around to reading Anatomy Trains :-).
