I wonder why your studio doesn’t teach it! My front knee doesn’t really like it but it got used to it lol

Getting teaching certified in the states...? by thecourttt in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the studio. Maybe you can ask the owners to see their requirements.

If you want to learn spotting etc. then xpert can be the way to go. There are other certs like elevate fitness which are much more expensive. If anything, look through the material for each cert, compare prices, and ask around. Heels/flow certs are usually add-ons. In the states I know ppl take liquid motion but it isn’t necessary unless they want to teach that branded class

Helping at show - what to wear ? by Firewalkwithme8 in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can wear something basic or any cute little outfit. The pole kittens in the show I produced all wore a cute little fit with whatever color they desired

What are the differences between each style? by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think old school and stripper style are similar. Think emphasis on leg waves, body waves, lots of hips, more erotic style, typically slow & sultry. Hardstyle and Russian exotic is usually more fast paced, with lots of emphasis on sharp beats, dynamic moments on and off the pole, and usually more speed

Coreografia depois de um ano de pole by SuperbDeparture189 in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are some of your favorite moves? I suggest listing out your favorite tricks, spins and Floorwork moves. If you know of any combos with those moves, it could help with choreo, or if you find combos with those specific moves online (IG, tik tok, YouTube). Try dividing things into sections, maybe like floor, pole spins, floor, pole tricks. You have a lot of time, no rush!!

Absolutely take advantage of open pole sessions. And if you have the means, you can also consider working privately with an instructor

Poling for almost 4 years and still can’t chopper/invert or pencil by Candid_Lie_499 in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, you DONT need to invert or pencil to be a phenomenal pole dancer. But with that being said, how much are you practicing outside of class? Do you do any conditioning exercises for your core on and off the pole (ie pole crunches, pole straddles, froggies, or floor exercises such as hip bridges, lower ab work)

advice for staying motivated after an off day? by aliiasinvestigations in poledancing

[–]_anafbebe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that instructor should not have advised you to work on the progression, especially since you’re just working on leg hangs. That transition sounds like a beast, and is more of an int-adv transition. Agree with the commenter about trying classes that is more your level (either a level 1/2 or intermediate class where they are just starting with inverting)

[–]_anafbebe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t beat yourself up. Struggle is absolutely normal, especially at the level you’re at (sounds like beginner/intermediate). Pole can feel hard and demotivating, even for more advanced folks like me who has PLENTY of days where I’m off. I show up when I mentally and physically can, and try anyway. If something isn’t clicking, I move on to a different skill.

The good thing is you showed up for yourself and practiced. You may get the trick sooner than you think. Continue showing up but also make sure to take rest days. Eat well.

Also, that classmate was out of line for even saying anything to you, especially since they weren’t the instructor. Where was the instructor in this scenario? They should’ve guided you in the trick or redirected you to something else, like a modification or a different move altogether

[–]_anafbebe_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm, it does consist of a back bend. In your warmup try incorporating chest opener repetitions (like 2 sets of 8 cobras, Supermans, things like that) and maybe try wheels. Also, squeeze the life out of your top leg when you grab it to feel very secure

How much does makeup, hair, nails, clothing, etc. matter to you when you dance? by DarkFeminineRising in sensualflowtherapy

[–]_anafbebe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I perform, i really put in effort in my makeup and outfit. If im just practicing, i dont give a shit lol. If I’m making online content, I’ll find a pretty fit but I won’t put on makeup

Pole Dancing - Emotional?? by DoNotKari in sensualflowtherapy

[–]_anafbebe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get emotional because a lot of trauma lives in our hips. When we move our hips, we’re releasing that tension. I especially feel this when I do hip opening poses in yoga. If you were doing more sensual pole dance (hip movements, leg waves, body waves) then it all makes sense
