I would really suggest working on strength work, pole holds and climbs. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Spins done on a static pole (especially spins done with lots of momentum) really require you to have a good amount of strength to prevent injury. I don’t feel that most spins (especially one armed) should even be attempted until the dancer is strong enough to do one pole climb. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

All poles, even permanent ones need to be placed directly under the joist. As long as you have a flat spot, joist/stud and don’t over tighten if its an X pole you’ll be fine. If you have an X pole and need help setting it up you can check out the video I made.

The pole HAS TO BE ON A JOIST. If the fixture is in your way you could take it down and put a cap on it. The electrical cap/covers are really cheap…they just cover up the hole for you. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Having a lighting fixture or anything for that matter, too close to your pole is not safe and you will hit it at some point. Hope you find a good spot. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

Oh and with each lesson you can leave a comment if you have a question about a move. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Instant access to ALL LEVELS from strength training to advanced but I make recommendations as to what move you should master before moving on to the next….and they are in order as far as level of difficulty. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I’m sorry your having to deal with haters Mini https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I get a lot of rude emails and comments too. It seems to come in spurts. If its a video I know some may have a problem with I change the setting to comments for friends only…the problem with that is you still have to see all comments to approve them, which is still hurtful. YT is just annoying, either my music is taken away or some loser flags me or I have rude comments. I had my "Carol of the Bell" video removed for "inappropriate" content….please https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif I have a new hooping vid I wanna post but I’m not sure if I’ll YT it or not, because I my belly skin folds up and hangs over, I’m sure some idiot will have a hay day with that.
Your a beautiful dancer and person Mini try not to let stupid people bring you down. Don’t even bother responding to them because they are NOT worth your time!!! Your fab! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Yes here is an example of the regular handspring and cartwheel. The twisted grip handspring is actually closer to the cartwheel move then the handspring.
36 sec is the set up for the Handspring…I flip up into a butterfly from it though.. Handspring your tipping back
1:28 is the set up for the Cartwheel….I move into a jackknife from it….Cartwheel your coming forward, head down first.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp8Twwf7r4Y This is a really OLD VID!
You should be able to see the difference I think. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

If you have the 50 I would go with the 45mm then you can work with both. I have both sizes and I REALLY love the smaller 45mm but try to keep up with using the 50 so I maintain my grip strength. They both have advantages and disadvantages, like NickiLee88 said. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh I love it when that happens https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Yay you!!!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

If you have over tightened your pole it will not spin smoothly and it will feel like it catches as you turn the pole….it can also bow your pole so be sure your not over tightening. As far as the wiggle back and forth, some times the x’s don’t line up perfectly with the holes so mess around with that a bit. If it still is wiggling call X pole. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have some zip up boots that work great. The shiny vinyl material is what you want, those will stick the best. Just be sure to practice with out the boots too so you don’t depend on them, they are great though if your working with a pole that is unfamiliar to you because you know you’ll be able to stick. Here is close up vid with the boots I use. ….its near the end.
