Your post made me smile. No one could ever be more nervous or afraid during poling than I am. It took me many months to do a basic fireman. I have been poling for about two years now. I am inverting and doing things I never imagined i could do. I learn all moves very slooowly. I do all new move in slow motion, and practice the move stationary with zero momentum first. All inverts and pole sits that are new are done 1 inch off the ground where I can put my hands or feet down if I feel the need. The girls in my class would laugh and nod at this. Learn at your own pace, practice the move in suspended motion so you get a feel for it, add momentum slowly, it will come. I promise. I still have a long way to go, but I have been where you are and I have come a long way, and you will too!

Yes, thank you, I think I will give that a try!

Yes that is a good suggestion and I thank you, I just dont feel right without my heels, so Im going to have to find a shoe friendly surface, but in the interim, thanks for the tip, because I was dancing in bare feet and got rugburns on my feet!

Lately my only conditioning has been what I get in class, the actual poling itself, and a yoga pilates class designed with poling in mind. I dont feel I ever properly learned how to spin and use my muscles effectively without just hanging off my shoulder. My posture could use improving. I have good upper body and core strength, I am very effective at inverting, and spins using a baseball grip. So its just the spins that engage the shoulder that I struggle with.
