    I guess it would depend on what kind of mobility they had. I would think spin mode would be good and would allow the person to have a little momentum for spins and they could pull themselves up into holds. If they had some use of their legs they could possibly do sits and plank variations. But if they could stand then Static would be the best option.

    I've always loved music, played instruments and liked to sing. But nothing has allowed me to express myself like pole dance. Regardless of what you choose to wear or not wear, https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Pole Dance can be the most amazing blend of art and strength!

    Someone else on the site had posted about developing a knot where they shoulder mount. Not sure whatever happened, if it resolved it’s self. Are you making sure you’re mounting right by the neck?

    Hi there, Polariz5. You must be over 18 to use the site. However, I feel pole dance is for everyone regardless of age. You should speak with your mom and dad have one of them sign up as a member, if they approve, then you can use you're mom or dads "account" to watch the lessons. It is difficult to find a studio who will teach anyone under 18. It's important to learn proper technique so you don't end up with a life long injury.

    Here are 4 lessons that will help with the Inverted V

    Knee Tuck https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4daedec5-5fd4-4b3f-9f5e-31130ac37250

    Tuck Invert https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbc4b23-b534-4d1a-9978-3b990ac37250

    V Invert https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc828d1-78d8-419f-b83b-1c610ac37250

    Aerial Invert https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f69dbcd-582c-4f2b-87e8-2c070ac37250

    The aerial invert is advanced but I include prep work that will help with all inverts!

    Also, no you're not gripping with the arm pit when holding the invert.

    I do a lot of conditioning work (like the ones listed in the lessons), along with yoga, flexibility training and hooping. I'll hit the gym if I'm planing on working towards some strength based moves like the Iron x and stalls.

    As a mom I've had long periods of time where I don't get to Pole.

    If you're at beginner to intermediate level (not inverting consistently with ease) To prevent injury, always start back up with strength building pole work AND pole conditioning, for the first week or two. Do this at least 3 times a week…. Then work your way back up to spins and inverts. The less often you get on your pole in a week the longer you should continue with conditioning and strength before moving on. However this doesn't mean you should pole every day! 3 times a week with a day of rest in between sessions is great if you want to improve. 

    For myself as an advanced dancer, I find 2-3 weeks off the pole doesn't affect much. If I have to take more than a month off with no other exercise I still start off with strength and conditioning. Jumping back into pole too fast can often result in injury.

    I wouldn’t over tighten any pole. You can go to the hardware store and buy some “pins” to keep the pole in place. The store pins didn’t fit tight but kept the pole from spinning!

    Neither position is right or wrong. It’s just preferace and will vary depending on if you’re dealing with dance, gymnastics ect. When training for the splits aim for squared hips to get the most out of the stretch.
