Spins require strength and timing as well as proper hand and leg placement. As you mentioned, you will find you'll have more revolutions around a smaller diameter pole. The more you trust that you can DO it, and have the right placement down, the stronger your leg and arm swings will be.
In the lessons I do talked about where your hands and body should be for each spin, and it's not just the leg the sweeps that help with momentum, but for most static spins the body will have to move in a direction away from the pole as well. Spins do take a of strength. If you can achieve 1-2 revolutions your doing just fine. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You might already know all of this info on this vid but I'll post it, for others who might have the questions about spin mode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=5&feature=plcp
All of the spin lessons here also cover using a spinning pole. There are slight adjustments you need to make. Like most everything, just keep at it. Imagine how slowly you move through water and try to translate that sloooow movement on to your spinning pole.

This is an interesting topic!!
Is there really a "normal" anyway? We are all so different it's hard to place people into group 1 or 2. Ya know? Maybe we should feel sorry for the "sane" people who to go through life never experiencing any of our "madness" that ultimately leads to creativity!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I'm trying to learn to embraces my….let's call it "unique" outlook on life, instead of worry that something is wrong with me.
It is unfortunate that these misuderstood minds tend end their creative lives….

Chances are, if your lumbar spine (lower back) really arches while in a forward split you may be compensating for tight hip flexors. A slight arch is normal, its always best to maintain neutral whenever you can. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I was worried about this when I first started too, but now my kids hardly notice the pole is there. One of my sons drew a picture for school of his mom, and of course I was on a pole. LOL https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Yes that’s a reverse grab. The lesson for it is in the link of the previous post.

Hi actually! As Chem mentioned I have strength and conditioning lessons. If you have signed up for the lessons be sure to start by watching each of the Getting Started videos at the beginning of each section. They will give you ideas on how to plan your pole sessions. Also, all lessons are place in order with a focus on strength building first, so there is no need to jump around trying to figure out what to work on next. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Here is the first Getting Started lesson https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

Eatvegancookies, I had the same problem when I lived in Minnesota. I would warm up and my pole was warmed too, but then, if I slowed down, or took even a short break I would cool down to much to grip. It seem to help if I put Lubriderm lotion on the night before I danced. Also I found that, the Titanium gold finsish worked best for me in cold weather.
