I don’t think I have one specific tutorial for that but have you looked at the static spin lessons here? At the end I demonstrate spinning pole technique for each spin as well. I have spinning pole help in the bonus lesson pole section too. I can be found towards the end.

This one can be very painful at first if you haven’t been using the elbow pits much yet! Try working on moves like partial split grip, but with an elbow pit grip! Veena’s tips for split grips https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54aa2650-4760-480b-8b20-340c0a9aa0eb This can help get the pits ready and yes, arch and squeeze so you’re not just relying on skin!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REMIND ME OF THESE MOVES! 🙂

Don’t forget to follow me! I do challenges every month and I try my best to always include easier variations so everyone can participate.

Any kind of move that uses the knee pit will help strengthen so don’t neglect trying them.
Here are some other things you can try.

Some like it dirty some like it clean. I think the advice about clean your pole is more for back in the day when grip aids were not so prevalent and about not wearing lotion or oil that could make it slick! Like others have said depending on skin type, pole finish and environment you might prefer a dirty pole. Clean poles can be nice for some skin types tho!
StrangeFox, I also have the worst time gripping my brass after cleaning it to a shine with brasso….so annoying! I only us brasso about once a year. I really like steaming my poles if I find they just need a cleaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdjeYnLLaBw

LOL no, I don’t have a lesson for it. Might be something to add to the bonus lessons in the future!

Hi and welcome!! Track your progress using photos, video or notes. Then when you feel you haven’t gotten very far you can look back and see how far you’ve come! If you haven’t already watch this video 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd121f2-bf68-46c6-9306-11770ac37250

I have 2 one is our branded veena pole (no longer sold) that grip was lovely but still took some getting use to because it was so grippy when warm but didn’t leave me with calluses which was great.
The x pole PC has more, hmmm bite? I guess would be the word. It’s not more gentle than any other finish, it’s possibly more apt to give you pole burn (I’ve found). I think as Allyson mentioned they might be referring to skin allergies.
If more grip is what you want I have found that this combo helps (no they didn’t pay me to say this) in fact neither company even said thanks for the mention lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgvvc2uvcFw

Depends on where it’s loose! If the whole things moves down by the base it’s probably the hex screws at the very bottom that are not tightened enough. If there is movement at the joint then you need the joint tool to tighten it. The joints inside show you which way to turn it to loosen or tighten.

Wow, that’s an amazing story. It was not wise of him to target pole dancers that’s for sure! I’m glad you all are ok!!!!!

This happens so much, you’re not alone and it’s ok to feel discouraged…at first! Just know that once you have the muscle memory of doing something it comes back a bit easier than when you first started learning.
The main reason behind creating the 30 day program was not just for new dancers but those who have taken time off. The best thing you can do is to get started again and not focus on where you were before but have fun with what you’re doing now. I have started over so many times I can’t even count! Remember pole can be beneficial and fun at any level so don’t focus too much on where you are, just enjoy!

Have you tried the Nailed it shoulder mount program?
