Hi! So close but you’re missing one key factor. I’d say you should start off by training the Inverted Crucifix. It’s looking like the POC for your inverted crucifix are a little off and you’re relying on the back of the calf a lot. You should feel a good deal of grip between the knees as well, not just the pulling leg into the pole with the calf. Does that make sense?

Once you have the correct grip for the Inverted crucifix you’ll be able to place the hands and body in the correct position. Right now you have the body centered with the pole. For a caterpillar you need to shift over towards the shoulder of the bent arm as you come up into caterpillar.

Have you tried using the caterpillar program? I cover all of this and more in it https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/Nailed_it_Caterpillar_Program

Hi NikkiD, thank you! Can you share an example of what you mean about the long classes? It’s hard for me to thing of how I would do a “class” without being able to see what my students are doing. As I don’t want people to feel lost or like I’m going too quick for them. So an example would be helpful.

Right now I have mix of follow along and voice-over tutorials here for pole dance https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/routines-pole-lessons and here for strength and flexiblity https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/ROUTINES_Strength_and_Stretch

I don’t have a wrist strap and not sure it’s my thing 🙂
