✅ SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ✅
Pole dancing is super fun but there are also risks involved you should be aware of before starting. These videos are advice only and are not intended to replace in-person professional classes. Please warm up before engaging in pole dancing AND engage in off the pole strengthening and conditioning to prevent injury! I am not a professional pole dance teacher. I recommend attending in-person classes before trying any moves on your own, especially when learning upside down tricks where a spotter is essential! If you have a pole at home, please make sure it is set up properly and is from a reputable supplier. There is always an element of risk when pole dancing and by following these videos you may be placing yourself at risk of injury. Please be careful and only do moves within your skill level.
Happy pole dancing 🤗

This video felt so reassuring. I wouldn’t consider myself fit, flexible or strong, and yet I can see progress. Sometimes I feel really frustrated because of what I see on instagram, but your videos have been a wonderful way for me to not be so hard on myself and to reassure myself that it is a journey! Thank you :)

Thank you, Jenna 💕It's so cool that we all start at different levels yet we can see changes after pole dancing. My Instagram feed is filled with pole dancing. Sometimes it doesn't feel inspiring so I rarely scroll through! I find it fun to focus on my own thing when it comes to pole dancing. How long have you been poling? ☺

I've been poling for a year now and I still can't nail an invert cos my palms are too sweaty. I've tried so many different grips and pole finishes, but nothing really seems to work. I almost felt like giving up, but your video has really reassured me to keep going at it. You have such a calming presence too and I love your beginner pole tricks videos!

After almost a year, I'm still pretty bad at pole dancing from a technical perspective and I can still only do floorwork, but it's so fun!

Thank you! I really needed to hear this encouragement. I started taking classes 6 months ago and just put up a home pole a couple weeks ago. I've been working out outside of doing pole dance too and yet I still lack upper body strength and flexibility. I've been so discouraged that I almost want to quit. I feel soooo far from doing my dream move (ayesha) or anything requiring lower body flexibility (working on front splits but not there yet). Everyone online seems so advanced and makes it look so easy while I struggle to hold my body weight up and not trip in 6" heels. After some classes (especially spin) I just want to cry because I feel like I suck so bad. But you're right that this is a challenging sport and it takes a lot of time to see significant improvement. I'll keep showing up, even when I don't feel like I'm good at it.

Thanks so much for talking us Nervous Nellies through what to expect from even BEFORE the first attempt. I feel better equipped to deal with various stages of ‘growing pains’ and self-doubt as far as the typical psychological and physical stuff is concerned!

Okay here i am, 3:27 in the video and already happy i stumbled across you❤! I'm going to pole dance class tomorrow again. I was really sad last time, nothing worked my hands wear sweaty, I've been somewhere in my head and stopt myself in the middle of tricks... My friend with who i started get every trick at least one time right... Im just happy if its one trick in class. But you motivate me to keep going!

This is so helpful! Even as someone who is at intermediate level, it’s a great reminder to slow down and not get frustrated at myself for not being good at every style of pole. Random question - at what point did you feel the need to start doing off pole training?

@PoletatoJemPoleDancer Жыл бұрын

Amazing! Wanting to be good at everything is something we have in common 😅 I started the beginning of this year (after 2 years of pole dancing). I felt the need to after feeling discomfort in my elbow after doing Jamila's and coming across some instagram accounts which were speaking about it. I was worried I would cause a long-term injury and not be able to do pole forever. I have read 'Strength and Conditioning for Pole' by Neola Wilby which was helpful (it's very anatomy based if you like that side of things). I would love to keep learning about this topic and share more about it too ☺ Do you do off the pole training?

Your videos are just great and I try to follow many of your tips and it often works. I've been in a pole beginner class for almost a year and everyone is so much better than me, it's frustrating. I give it my all but sometimes I think of giving up, it's so much fun when it works. Unfortunately I slip a lot, I still don't know what it is exactly, as soon as I touch the pole longer I slip.... It is frustrating but I keep trying. Currently we have a choreography with a spin combination, can you maybe make a video on reverse grip for beginners? I am always too close to the pole with my body and twist my forearm when I try to push away and spin, because the pole is fixed so not on spinning. I think it is the combination of reverse grip to front hook. How do I manage to push myself further away from the pole and still spin? I would be very grateful for tips!

Hi I’m a new subscriber. Thank you for the encouraging words. I’ve been wanting to get a pole at home and practice. I always find myself making excuses and not getting it. But I’m going to treat myself since my bday is coming! What kind of pole do you suggest for a beginner? Static or spinning? And are the friction poles safe?

@PoletatoJemPoleDancer Жыл бұрын

My pole has a spinning and static function! I mostly use spinning because I was taught on spinning :) are friction poles the ones that have silicon on them?

I have found it really discouraging as a heavier pole dancer because I only ever see smaller girls improving, posting videos of tricks with good techniques, and even in class the smaller girls are always the ones who nail it first go or at least sooner than the bigger girls. Not only that, but instructors are never bigger girls either. They don't know what it actually feels like to have to try and do all of these moves and conditioning exercises with extra weight, or with a belly in the way. So it feels like what's the point sometimes because will I ever actually improve? Am I just setting myself up to become injured because I'm doing all of these tricks with an extra 20kg on most of the other students? I'm sticking with it, and I am improving, but it's so frustrating to know how slow my progress is because of my weight. And I say this as someone who used to be 20kg lighter and improved at pole SO fast. So I know how much harder it is being heavier, it's not just in our head, we do actually have to work so much harder. Sorry to rant, I just wish there were more successful larger polers to make me feel like I might actually get somewhere eventually.

Hi Emma, I saw your comment and had some time away to think about how to respond as I didn't know how to at first. This is because I cannot completely know how it feels to be in your situation and I can only get a sense. It's so natural to want to progress in anything that we do! It makes us feel good. For me, I knew that when trying to progress went too far, to the point I wasn't enjoying myself, that was when I needed to step back and reevaluate why I started in the first place. Can I ask what were your reasons for starting pole? For me, it was to have a hobby that I enjoyed! So when I got stuck in the mindset that I needed to get all the moves being taught (which just made me stress out), I tried to find ways to enjoy pole. An example would be doing moves I was good at and I liked! And also being as slow as I needed to be or just leaving a move I felt I wasn't ready for to come back to later after developing more. It is super difficult in a group setting where you cannot help but compare yourself to how other's are progressing. And from my experience, you have to stick with what the teacher is asking you to do rather than moves you enjoy and are comfortable with. This can be super discouraging if the moves arn't suited to your style/ what you can comfortably do. Do you have a home pole? Sometimes it can help to do what you want to do rather than what a teacher is telling you to do. In that way, you have full control over what you do in pole to hopefully enjoy it more ☺ Also, I am not sure if you have had a search on Instagram, but I have seen beautiful pole dancers who are larger. It can be so helpful to find polers to be inspired by who are similar body type and tend to move in similar ways (because yes, you are definitely not imagining that our bodies impact how we can do certain moves! When I follow polers who have similar body shapes and dimensions to me, I do find it much easier to follow how they move too). Hope this helps and that you can continue to progress in the ways you want to within pole 💕

Please don't give up and try not to compare yourself to others. I know some larger gals who have made it to advanced level combos. Go at your own pace, try to enjoy, and celebrate every success, no matter how small. Happy poling.
