    This is a super common issue, recently a member on a different thread mentioned Carpe lotion being helpful for sweaty hands. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=carpe+lotion

    I got a quick workout in yesterday but took today off 😊.

    Yesterday’s focus was handspring/cartwheel practice and working on new ways to teach bass monkey.

    Got a nice hike in today. Had my in-laws in town all weekend and now my sister and her husband will be staying with us for a week!

    Anyone else getting workouts in?

    I can see how frustrating that would be and it sounds like a contract might be the way to go. I’m not super business minded when it comes to contracts but Webmaster might have some ideas.

    If you haven’t already, make sure she is teaching in a way that allows first time pole dancers to have fun and do it in a safe way. Would be worth asking if you can attend a class so you can make sure she is teaching in a way that you want your facility to be represented.

    If you’re not sure what is appropriate for beginners feel free to take a look at the lessons here, they are in order 🙂

    Back home from ND and managed a quick workout this morning! I did some shoulder conditioning and little bit of legs and core.

    I wish I had some helpful information for you. I don’t know what would work well for sweaty and chapped hands. Hopefully someone else will!

    Having the strength to pull up a bit once inverted will allow you to get the legs up over the hands. Using controlled moment can help. Making sure your hands aren’t placed too low can help as well.

    If you haven’t already try the 30 day invert program. Also take a look at these lessons for more tips

    Sweaty hands is a big problem for a lot of new dancers. Sometimes it goes away once your out of a group setting and feel more comfortable. Other times you might find you need to invest in some grip aid. Use ok one like Right grip or dry hands for sweat.

    As for pole size Pixie gave a good description of both sizes. There are several hand and wrist strength exercises you can do as well. Find them in the conditioning section of the lessons. 😊
