I JUST posted to a similar thread! I’ll post it here for you too.
Teaching beginners is such an important task. As an instructor you have the privilege of guiding them in developing their technique, love for pole and their body! If a pole dancers starts off with strong fundamentals both of you will be far more successful.
I don’t feel teaching is something where you can just take a few hour, or day, class and be ready! Some people are natural teachers and this would be enough to get them started, however, not everyone who wants to teach has that natural ability. This doesn’t mean they shouldn’t, but that it will take time and experience to become a qualified instructor. Having a guideline to refer to is a great option for new teachers.
I’ve had many, members write to tell me how they’ve used the lessons here as their guideline for teaching in studio. Most of them have taken the popular certifications and only gained a piece of paper to hang on their studio wall. Unfortunate but true. I think more than a quick certification, people need a guideline to follow.
I MORE than welcome studios and instructors to use my method and lessons to help their students. 🙂
Keep in mind the lessons are not “how to open a studio” but a guide for teaching. 🙂

Btw, I’ve got a sexy routine in the works but it’s to build strength so keep an eye out for that!

That’s a great idea. I’ll add it to my list of possibilities! 😊

11 bucks is a great deal even if it only lasts a few months!

Well, I’m glad you received your heels at least!

It’s well worth paying for a quality roller. It will last longer than cheaper lower density rollers. In the lesson here I have a link for my favorite roller. A foam roller can changer your life lol 😊https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dcc48af-f630-4a8e-aa67-78850ac37250

Yes, a video would be very helpful. It’s not unusual for polers to be doing advanced work and not have a solid proper invert. Are you using a side pole hold (pole in the arm pit) for your basic invert? Or do you find, you place the hands low and end up having the forearm on the pole inside of gripping into the armpit? Another possibility is placing the hands too high.

Yes! I think there is a name for that pose, can’t recall tho.

Everyone is doing so well!!!

Thank you Dustbunny that makes me so happy to hear!

Day 3! My back isn’t super flexy but I’m just happy it’s not hamstrings today! 😜

Forearm pain isn’t ever normal. Having muscle soreness is normal and should improve in a day or two. If it hurts as you’ve described you need to take a break for a while! When you come back to poling be sure to start back with conditioning and strength work for the wrists, hands and shoulders. Also avoid spins and moves the use a split grip until you become stronger and more advanced to prevent this issue again. Also be sure to stretch the forearms at the end of every pole session! Feel better soon! 🙂

Yeah it could totally be just a matter of your muscles getting use to the workload you’re putting on them. Also if you’re not just to dancing choreo, your working your cardiovascular system way more than if you just work on tricks. I get shaky whenever I do take after take of a dance I’m working on. The more “in shape” I am at the time the longer it takes before I feel shaky.
