I do normally hold the foot to do stargazer because i feel more secure that way but it is true that you can hurt your knee. I did it once and although it wasn’t too bad I’m sure it could have been worse. I still do it myself but I don’t recommend it to anyone. I’m a bad girl!

Anything with clear plastic straps. Pleaser has a wide variety of colourful and fun heels that come with plain clear plastic straps. ☺

Amy Hazel has some really nice lyrical dances to a few Ed Sheehan songs on youtube. 💖💖

So true! Thanks for sharing.

@catmoves is there a twerk move called the “twisty tail”? or maybe “the squealer”? LOL! Anyone else got any better ideas?

[dustbunny]

Lots of people have mentioned many great tips so I won’t repeat them but I will add that poling does not depend on inverting. You can dance and express yourself beautifully workout ever going upside down. ☺ 💖

[dustbunny]

Yay! You won’t regret it. 😊

I hope you find what your looking for. I have two sets of old style poles plus the original extensions but I don’t want to sell them or someday I might end up in the same place you are now. 😕

Generally speaking I think most people consider Forearm and Elbow to be easiest. Split grip is very common and I also find it the easiest. Cup grip is challenging/advanced but an alignment neutral alternative to twisted grip which is not even possible for some people and can cause chronic injuries with long term use in others.

Hi there. I’m also a fellow crochet addict but I’ve never made any clothing. My husband teases me that I’m an 80 year old woman in disguise. Haha. Your pieces look great! ☺

[dustbunny]

Thank you for your input. A used stage would sure be a simpler alternative. ☺

Ok, I’ve heard of people doing this, but has anyone from a cooler climate ie. not California or Florida done this? I have a student who is interested in putting up a pole in her backyard, but she doesn’t want to spend $800 for a stage and I don’t blame her. I mentioned that I’d heard of people cementing a pole into the ground for a permanent outdoor pole, and searching around here I found an idea by Poledancefan to fill a bucket with cement and a PVC sleeve so that if you ever wanted to move it you would be able to dig up the bucket.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to proceed??? Anyone from somewhere where the ground freezes done this before? If it was the semi-permanent bucket idea would you HAVE to dig it up in the winter months???

I recommend you sign up for Veena’s lessons. Many spins are not beginner stuff. It’s hard to stay confident and motivated when you may be working on things that are inappropriate for your strength/level. Veena will take you safely through strength training and basic pole work that will build you up through progressions to spins and more advanced work. Her lessons are MORE than worth the money!

Good alternative. From what I’ve seen in discussions on this forum there is always an alternative to TG. ☺ Glad you found something that works for you.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all! I think it’s a great idea, and no matter what happens you will have learned some things about yourself!
