Thats a good question!

Personally I say Nope https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Any improvent is a good level! There are so many variables that can affect flexibility, genetics, previous experience, how often you stretch, skeletal structure ect. The same goes for Pole Dance. We shouldn't expect everyone to progress at the same rate. Some will see quicker results than other and again for various reasons. The best way to judge progress is tracking your own! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_geek.gif Take photos, notes, video, blog whatever you can think of so you can look back and really see where you were and where you are now. If your not seeing a change then you know its not working and its time to reevaluate. We set ourselves up for frustration when we feel we HAVE to progress within a certain time frame or measurement.

Strength training! If you have access to a gym using machines or free weights that work the whole body would be really helpful. Also if your planning of taking the lessons here but do not yet have a pole…..almost all of the Strength lessons can be done without a pole!https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif You can use a door way or wall instead. I also include some really important strength specific exercise for wrists, and shoulders that are a great start for new dancers.

Yoga is another great option because in pole we need balance, control, strength, breath and flexiblity which yoga covers.

One last thing when you do start to pole ALWAYS warm up before you dance and NEVER stretch a cold muscle save the stretching for after your workouts. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Looks like webby had been working the forum the day you said you posted sooo I don't know?

I have seen these DVDs and they're nice. I will caution…If your a beginner and do not have previous strength training in your background I would take it slow with these DVDs. I don't feel most of the spins are appropriate for beginners. I know when pole first became popular studios taught spins as beginner moves. But once I begin to rethink my own teaching methods I came to the conclusion that is was no longs a safe method. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif There is a reason I have my lessons organized the way I do https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif My Veena method is all about building strength first!!!!https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifIts unfortunate that dvds become out dated so quickly.
