Sharp, stabbing, sudden is means something is not right. If it's tightness it wont feel as I first described. Tightness is often described as a pulling, stiff or lengthening feeling. If you can't breath through it, you probably shouldn't do it.
Make sure you're doing other stretches for your whole body and not just trying splits. It's important for the whole body to be trained and not just one area. It's best to aim for an increase in flexibility overall.
I'm unsure of how splits could be "bad" for you heath wise. However, any stretch could cause problems if not do correctly or if you over train one area.
I personally feel that most dancers do not need to perform oversplits. If you can get to the point of working an oversplit that's fine but it's not necessary for most pole work.
What other stretches do you feel the pain in? https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Here is something you should read to decide if a twisted grip lift is for you. https://stage.studioveena.com/blogs/view/Professional_Level_Pole_Moves_20130127053217 https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Gemini's, Side climbs, the leg hook crunch as you mentioned. Really anything that will target your Hamstrings. Also, keep on practicing the star and marley, because those moves on their own are strength builders!

Kmccool, It could be tight hip flexors, or loose hip flexors. Could be body positioning while stretching. Could be many things. It's hard to say without more info.
What stretches are you doing when you feel this?

If you have poles at home you can always take the lessons on the site. I know how challenging finding a sitter is!

The pole strength routine is a complete workout an so yes, the tucks will strengthen the abdominals. If you want more do the Hard Core warm up, it’s a 5 minute routine focusing on core. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/50bf696c-332c-43be-8cce-433a0ac37250
If you want to know what muscle groups are strengthened or stretched you’ll find that info in the description for each lesson. 😉

Its totally normal 🙂 if you take a look at some of the comments posted under the lesson you’ll see many others who had the same issue when starting. 😉

I wanted to update everyone. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif All 30 routines Beginner to Advanced have been uploaded!!!! Remember, you do not need to be able to invert to try these routines! You'll find some focus more on spin combos and others will focus on pole work and transitions. All will demonstrate flow and beginning/ending poses. These are all performed on a static pole.
You'll find them below the Advanced section of the lesson line up. Happy poling!

When you purchase the lessons you will immediately have access to all of the lessons including The 30 day take off program. The 30 day take off, is a guide (a grouping of lessons) that you use on your own time to help you progress. It's meant to be used as a guide for 30 days, but if you happen to skip a day it's totally fine. You can click on the "lessons" button and see we have several sections/grouping of lessons and the 30 days has it's own section. We also have Conditioning, Stretching and stretching routines, Foam roller, Pole Routines and Hula hooping lessons.
Here is a video that might answer some questions you may have. This is the first video lesson in the 30 day take off. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

​The 30 days will also take you through conditioning exercises and stretches to help prevent injury and should help you with your wrist issues.

Hi babysham! Even if you've taking classes before I would suggest starting with the first lesson the "getting started" lesson, and moving on from there. Each section has a "getting started" section and these have important information in them about how to use the lessons and how to structure your pole workouts. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifAlso all lessons are placed in a progressive order, so you don't have to guess what move should come next, they all build on each other.
Here is the first "getting started" lesson https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

We have lots of lesson for flexibility here. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Anyone can improve their flexibility, to what degree will depend on the individual, method used, and time spent. You do NOT need to train for flexibility everyday, that's too much for most people.
Here's a video that has tips for stretching and will give you an idea of what to expect in the lessons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZZE2GTBiQ

I have a brass pole and Cramers didn't work well with it at all!! I would try some of the other products mentioned previously. Cramers works great on my Chrome though.

Phillypolegirl. I have many exercises included in the lessons to help strengthen and stretch the forearms and hands.
I would start with the Hand strength exercise it's the first in the series of lessons for forearms. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
