Regular Patent Leather OK for Pole?You can really wear whatever you want for pole shoes, the thing is some of the stripper heel brands are higher quality then others and will last longer. Even some of the high quality brands have had quality complaints, f you want stripper heels that will last, avoid heels with lots of thin straps, they seem to be the most fragile. Pleaser and Ellies are good options. I sometimes like to wear my ballroom heels as well.

Instead of trying to focus on how soon someone has or “should” be able to do something, try focusing on the improvements you do see. When you stop seeing improvement then you know it’s time to change it up. I would not expect everyone to be able to do a few second pole hold even at the end of the 4 weeks of training. More important then lifting the feet, is understanding and using the right body placement in the pole hold. If you are doing the 30 day take off the next 2 weeks are more intense then the first and will give you an opportunity to continue building strength, by challenging your body in new ways. π
It’s your own personal journey and it can become discouraging and frustrating if we spend our time wondering if we are progressing like everyone else.

I really haven’t done it in forever, I was more going for butt placement help! Lol

Jenn, if you take a look at the videos in the link Webmaster provided you’ll see how the pole works. π

Yes, it’s an adjustable one piece. π

Yeah that was the house, I really miss that space. Γ°ΕΈΛβ’
I’ve always kept my hands up higher then crotch area, I think…I haven’t done it in forever, but I recall holding between belly and chest level. Jamilla is a good instructor so keep at it.

Never place the pole on your coccyx (tail bone)!! You’ll want to have it off to the side of butt cheeks. I don’t have it in lesson, but here is a video where I spin into it and you can see the pole is not in the middle of my butt or crack or vajayjay! lol
Other tips would be to be sure and lower the hips down all the way before opening up the legs and keep the hands high.

My nails grow fast, so sometimes they are medium length or long, but usually I try to keep them short if I’m poling a lot. I’ve ripped my skin pretty good a few time with long nails. Usually along the thighs as others mentioned. π

What Kasanya suggested! Negatives are great for building strength, just do them slooooow, as she said.
Also things to add, try working on the Scissor climb and the lessons suggested below the scissor climb lesson to help you build strength. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/18f06262-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be
