Sexual and seductive come across differently to different people…. and what one person sees as offensive another may view it as art or completely appropriate.

I have moved a lot!! Each time, I either feel a little lost or super happy when I put my pole up in its new surroundings, as Chem mentioned. Right now, I still don't feel 100% at home in my new studio space and I have been here for about 5 months.
It seems, for me anyway, as I said before, the first few times back on the pole can either feel amazing or confusing and depressing. It was after the move to our most recent place, that, for the first time ever…I have found myself just staring at the poles wondering what I should do…that NEVER has happened to me, ever!!!! But it did pass. It did scary me!! lol So, I guess I'm just saying it can happen to anyone, you're not alone. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Working on balance on the floor can help with balance on the pole too! Working on Handstands, elbowstands, forearm stands are all great. Yoga poses that require balance are also helpful. Another thing to remember when transitioning from one move that requires balance to another is….go sloooooow. Take your time and don't rush to the next position. Breath! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Finding your center takes time and LOTS of practice, so keep at it an be patient.

Fitchix, I feel ya, I don't have a dominate side either. I work both sides too, this is something I feel is important and stress to those who take the lessons here. Maybe just make a vid doing the moves you do on both sides. I know for me there are a few moves that I am not as comfortable with on one side, so maybe you have a move that you have yet to nail you could post?
Also keep in mind, you don't have to do every challenge, maybe try one of the others you haven't done yet this month instead? You can do any challenge at anytime. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

At this point I"m planning on making it out there! Should be tons of fun! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Here is the link for the November Challenge https://stage.studioveena.com/forums/view/5095409a-041c-42e7-9035-2bc80ac37250
If you are just starting don't get discouraged, building the strength needed for pole takes time! But it gets better. Sounds like you are taking the lessons, so make sure you have watched all of the "getting started" lessons placed at the beginning of each section. This will help you plan your workouts. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I was thinking either dubstep music or opposite side/non dominate side. Any preference?

Here is the lesson for it. It's broken down into steps, has slow motion and multiple angles. The Ballerina spin. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc631e5-4354-4c33-8b45-7bf40ac37250

If you have the lessons try using these to build the strength needed for Caterpillar. Also remember the Caterpillar is not the Climb! The caterpillar climb you release the legs, sliding them up the pole, this is more advanced. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I don't have any suggestions other than, try giving them a little lesson. It could be a good opportunity to bond with them. But are you asking just about how to deal with the pole or just deal with his kids in general? https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pumpkin.gif

You may want to check out Friday chat. Come hang out with others from aournd the world and even pole dance together on cam if you have one. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yep, AG, that is how I felt when I first started using my TG pole. I couldn't do combos ect, I was so use to having the ability to slide into place, making slight adjustments. This is why I don't recommend new dancers use the very grippy finishes. I've literally had skin rip off https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif it doesn't happen anymore, unless I"m working on new stuff. We have the default set to chrome when people order, I think that is a good general pole finish. It's all so personal though, but we have to start on something! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I've very lucky and do not suffer from sweaty hands.

I disagree, I would rather have a very grippy pole and have to be precise in my movement than have a slick pole and risk slipping and falling.

Hi Afrocentric Welcome to the site! If you have a pole at home the lessons here are a great place to start. They are organized in a way that builds strength, lessons are all placed in order so you don't have to worry about what to work on next or if a move is suitable for beginners. If you don't have a home pole there are still plenty of conditioning, stretching, and floorwork lessons that do not require a pole! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
