Sure you can. Just know that everyone here is supportive and it’s about learning.

Hi! If you have a video to upload or share it’s helpful in trouble shooting.
Those spins require you to hold your whole body, so it’s usually a matter of building strength.
If you’re using the lessons here, know that they’re placed in an order in which help you progress. They’re not random.
It sounds like you’re trying to do a back hook? Or just any spin while standing to the side of the pole? For the back hook you’re going to want to learn the Step around first https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e7e4217-a544-4440-978a-55f6ac110005 This will teach you to go backwards from standing. As for all other spins start here….https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f7460cf-70a8-4b81-b84e-781e0ac37250 and work your way through each lesson. Hope this helps!! 😊 The 30 day take off program will help you build strength if that interests you at all.

Oh it’s always so crazy to move and then hope you have what you want to set up a pole or whatever!
I miss having my little guys wanna do pole with me (sometimes) Now I have them hold the camera from time to time or assist with a cameo like in my last silly video. CJ and I had fun with that.

I did another workout today!!!! Very happy about that.
Amelia2000 I thought your freestyle video was lovey. You move so easily from move to move.

Yep, xpole website it best.

Glad your back Karen!
I finally did a workout today, short and sweet. I really haven’t been in the mood to exercise. Then I did a quick video to answer a question about Gemini to Crucifix and posted to IG.
I’ve been occupying myself with video creating, organizing and uploading new lessons and learning photoshop. I made a silly video about Pole Dance and the Corona virus if any of you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-35Xe_14-A&t=17s

The best thing you can do if find away to test a brass. Personally, finish trumps diameter. But if a pole is slick a smaller diameter can help combat that issue. lol Not sure that was helpful!
Yes, from my experience sweat and PC don’t mix well. Now if you just have moist, tacky hands and skin it can work well, but not if the hands get wet.

Here’s my pole with the grip wrap!

Yay, Glad the lotion is working…my point about the sweaty hands was just that if the slip is from sweat powder coating the pole wont fit it for most. I use to sell a beautiful PC purple pole and I loved it, still have it, however if I used it in the humidity and it was super hot and I DID actually sweat, it was slick! Slightly tacky skin is great for PC, but not sweaty. I have the x pole Powder coated pole and I never get around to using it….Go to playground where they have PC poles for kids to slide down, give them a try, it will be similar but not the same as most playground poles have texture to them. Sooooo the biggest thing to determine is are you slipping from sweat, or cold, dry hands?
I bought the wrap because I wanted to easily remove it or put it on a different pole. So far I’ve used it 3 times, taken it off 3 times and it’s still super grippy and doesn’t move at all or peel off. They do suggest you attach the top with some tape to hold it in place, I haven’t yet. You don’t need to put it all over the pole just as far down or high up as you want. You don’t need to re-wrap it can just stay on the pole. I’ve heard the silicon sleeve can be a pain to put on and take off. The wrap is amazing though, some of the cirque du soleil shows in Vegas use it, so it needs to be reliable!
Powder coating you need to have them do the whole pole.
If you don’t think sweat is the issue, I would now try this grip aid combo as now your hands might be too dry? https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5e418c06-b198-4d3d-a806-7ffeac110005
Grip is a funny thing, if we mentally feel it’s going to be an issue, often it’s far worse than it could be. Before investing a ton of money try the warm up, this one is meant to warm you and the pole https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/525b64a6-b328-401e-85e7-456c0ac37250 don’t crank the heat too much if that makes you sweat and just dance a bit without focusing on “are my hands slipping?” try to get your mind of the moves, so keep it simple.

If I’m remembering the last thread correctly, you have sweaty hands right? If that’s the problem Powder coating may not be the best option. Brass is usually the best for sweaty hands and bodies.
I’ve powder coated one of my poles before by taking it to a powder coating shop that works with motorcycles and such. They did a great job, for me the grip was awesome…but I don’t sweat much.
If if won’t work for you to sell your pole, as Amelia mentioned you could look into a pole wrap called Stunt Grip. I just bought one for my pole and it will totally fix any grip issues. HOWEVER, it is so grippy that you will not be able to do static spins on it. But I wear clothes and can use it with my cold dry hands and it’s amazing. They’re located here in Vegas, a size small that wraps 5 ft is 40 dollars, not sure what shipping to Canada would be. https://stuntgrip.com/grip-wrap
If sweaty hands are not the problem, then chrome should be workable and it’s usually a matter of warming the pole and body enough.

Thank you Mystical. I’m glad you’ve been able to get something out of the lessons, that makes me feel good! This was not the March I planned for SV, but I’m happy to help during this unsettling time for everyone. I would love to meet you too!!!

Managed a workout yesterday, nothing today. We’ve been in “shelter in home” for a week now. I don’t get as much done when everyone is home with me. lol
-
If you’re a new student who’s also new to home practice. Try the 30 take off program or if you’re more advanced try the 30 invert program. 💜

Did a new routine for this week, that was my workout.
