Simple … "moving".

Many times immediate wrist pain is something of a more recent event caused by a minor sprain which will heal nicely with rest and ice.
Since you mention that both wrists are exhibiting like symptoms then you might look into what could be causing possible repetitive stress. The wrist is such a complex joint mechanism with many possibilities to consider from torn carpus to cysts. If your pain has been around for a long time especially with no sign of improvement or there is past history of wrist trauma then I'd certainly agree with Jeanie Maire and make sure you get a qualified physician to look at it.

KT Tape – Kinesiology Tape.
I know a good number of DOs and PTs who love the stuff. All cotton, it supplies you with a stable support and does not restrict motion. I believe it expands in one direction of the tape but not in the other. I do remember being told that the elasticity of the tape matches that of our skin, which is a big benefit. If applied correctly, important to note when using, the tape can support injured muscles and soft tisse thus allowing for a speedier recovery even with continued physical activity. It comes off quite nice and even stays on in water.
Good stuff and easy to find.

Hammies take a long time to heal is right.

You might also look into the New York City Ballet Workout series. Booth a book and a DVD.

Ahhh, flexibility. Well I was standing on the wrong side of the tracks when "that train" left the station. Oh well. I guess for me it's all about using flow, the extendion of limbs and sprials out from the center of the pole in the most stunning lines I can create. Add a bit of heart in there and that's all I can do. If I've learned one thing dancing through life, it's the simple fact that the dancer with the most technique is not always the one who catches my eye.

Besides hand size I'm wondering if anyone has looked at how a smaller pole might be better suited for peole with shorter femur bone lengths. My rotation in the socket dodes not turn out as far as I would like and the thicker 50mm really impeeds the top knee crossing over the bottom knee, even in a pole sit.

Check in with the studio, your instructor and the studio's class levels. If you don't feel they are the right fit for you, explain why to the studio manager, note that you are new and most importantly have used only 2 of a 10 card session. I'd see if they would pro-rate a refund and move on if you come to the conclusion that this is not the place for you at this time. Framing your reasons in a positive manner hopefully keeps the doors open to a return when conditions are different for both parties.

For me it was the size of the frame, based on where I could place the camera, that defined what I need to buy.

Never received the DVD. Even spoke to JK via email and she even mentioned she was aware of delivery problems as well. Not her making by the way. Had to complete a charge back of the credit card used after repeated unanswered emails to DVD production company. Sad I had to travel down that road.

Never a problem with Sit or Cross Ankle. I highly recommend a full dance brief from KD Dance, super comfortable. Call an ask for David, a company founder.

@Greekgoddess. Ouch and sorry to hear. At least it's only a partial tear, not a complete one. Which ligament(s). Most dancers injury the anterior talofibular ligament but you did yours in the fall. I bet your doctor has at least done some serial taping. Of course you should maintain icing, elevation and compression until all swelling has subdued. The one thing I was told was to make sure the ligaments healin a correct manner. Pushing them too soon could lead to a stretched and scarred ligament length which leads to chronic instability, which I have and that's my achilles heel so to speak. What's your doc say? There's always another comp but ligament healing only get's one shot.
