The "switch" is a really important lesson because it gives you the proper ab positioning for all activities. http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4079 Also don’t forget the lower back for a balanced core https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

Welcome to the site! Once you do get a pole, be sure to start with some strength training and stay away from spins until you have built up strength. Spins can be very hard on shoulders. If you do get a chance to buy the lessons here is the first lesson in my shoulder strength series. http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4467 https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Koba keep in mind the reverse handstand (Chest facing pole) is more reasonable for most students to learn than the handstand (with the back against the pole). So yes, I think the reverse handstand and elbowstands are a good way for students to acclimate to being upside down and work on balance.

That’s ok…I just moved and I still don’t have a pole so I may just do some floor or chair work for my challenge https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

Hey thats great…If you can’t dance on it decorate it!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rendeer.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

Use ice immediately after dancing and do not work on the moves that caused the bruising for a few days. You should have a rest day anyway in between pole sessions. If it is getting swollen stay off the tender spot until the swelling has gone away. Everyone heals differently so listen to your body.

Spins are not great for strength building. I’m not sure if you meant your getting the lessons here or have them but if you do be sure to check out the Strength training section! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Strength does not come over night.

Always talk with your DR or Midwife when you have questions because they know you best. There are many women who still continue their jogging routines and do aerobics and such throughout their pregnancy…. But you just have to be aware of how YOU are feeling. You don’t want your heart rate to get too high and you don’t want to be dripping with sweat, its important to not overheat. Pregnancy is not the time to try to break records or have new fitness goals. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif For a normal pregnancy there is usually no danger in using the muscles of the upper body. But again you need to ask your DR…make sure they understand what a pole climb is, you could compare it to a pull up or chin up exercise.

Sorry I don’t think I finished my thought….was in a rush, Chris was waiting for me in the car…..anyway, no your not only using the arm/torso…..what I meant to say in a nut shell was… it can be helpful for the dancer to focus on the proper arm positioning….this will take way a lot of the stress on the side of the torso near the hip. I didn’t mean to leave out the side altogether but my point was don’t rely completely on that poor torso!! Proper arm placement and use is one of the most important things for this move.
