Hi and welcome to the site!!! One of the best things a new dancer can do is start with moves that build strength. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Its ok…the red dots will go away. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifWhen working on strenuous things like inverting and such, this can happen. Its VERY important your being sure to breath (try making a haaaaa sound) when you're moving up into inverted positions. I think I talk about that in the Basic invert lesson, I know its in one of them if your taking the lessons. Holding the breath can cause these dots and you'll raise your blood pressure too!

Hello and welcome to the site!!! I have some great strength building lessons here if your interested. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

These are great stretches for your shoulders, if you have tight shoulders do one (try the clock stretch if your short on time) or all of these after every workout.

Sparrow, Remember flexibility takes time if your see improvement then your doing things right. If your not seeing any then its time to take a look at it. There are a few different stretches for the hamstrings in the lessons they are all in a row. Also be sure to stretch the quads as well.
Until your hams become nice a flexy you can just bend the knees as you walk your hips over head.

Well said Empy!

Yep you guys are right! To easily find a balance point you need to have the flexibility to get your butt and hips over your head. This goes for elbow forearm and handstands too. Strength in the shoulders, back and abs do play a part as well when your lifting up.

@ Cinara I thought you were clear.

Knowing how to fall is fine…practicing falling that i do not agree with. Cinara had some great tips.
Accidents happen on and off the pole its part of life. I never thought I would break my foot while walking into my garage or have severe nerve damage from banging my elbow on a chair while sewing! LOL
I include exits as part of every lesson sometime multiple variations and always encourages everyone to use those and not jump out of a move. When I rode horse and was in figure skating they never had us work on "falling" . Any sport I have done they encourage you to relax if your falling.

Learning to work within your abilities is always best…. start working on moves as low to the floor as possible and as slowly with control as possible https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Pole Dance should be fun, there is no need for everyone to perform every move out there. I agree that learning to "fall" is not a good idea https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
