    Hope all of you are well!

    I wanted to remind everyone to please include your SV USERNAME when you send all submissions. I get several during the week and I can’t remember everyone’s usernames.

    I can’t “certify” you without a username.

    Is there a smaller extension you can buy?

    The top stem can be hard to pull put. Try hitting it with a rubber mallet on the sides (cover it with a cloth) to loosen it.

    Lavenia, that’s great to hear! xoxox

    I try to critique in a way that explains why I’m looking for a change/re-do (if one is needed) that way if someone is planning teaching others they know the “why” behind my request.

    You guys are doing awesome! I had 2 back to back that submitted using a routine to demonstrate the required moves and that’s actually great! It allows me to really see how you enter and exit a move.

    Try swapping it for one of the routines. Like any of the splits or lower body ones. 🥰

    I’m glad you’re ok!

    Mistakes happen and ones that causes pain can really shake a person up and that’s normal. Here are some things you can do to help avoid a fall and increase your confidence again.

    When working on tricks that you’re not 100% with always use a crash mat. If you don’t have a mat couch cushions work well.

    Don’t train new tricks from up high, stay as low as you can.

    Know your limits and stay within them.

    You say you’re afraid to invert? Remember that inverting isn’t necessary is a fun option for those who enjoy it. There are a lot of other fun tricks and ways to enjoy the pole. When you are ready to invert again make sure you have an exit plan and that you are totally confident in your invert before trying other tricks like switching legs. Leg switching is far more advanced than an invert on it’s own. To build up your confidence make sure you feel 100% comfortable with both inside and outside leg holds. Then you can start to work on switching. I have several great tutorial for switches once you’re ready. The key is never loosing leg contact with the pole, so having a solid hip hold is needed too.

    If you haven’t yet, try following my lessons as everything is placed in order. Building up your skills really helps prevent accidents.

    Last, don’t rush into moves. Enjoy the process of learning as much as trying to learn the next move. There’s no rush. Even if you never invert you can still have fun pole dancing.
