I've been pole dancing for about 6 months now, I love your videos and I love that you show us what you looked like as a beginner, after 5 months I'm still a beginner and you are very inspiring! Keep them coming!
Thanks Tiffany! ❤️ Be a beginner for as long as you like! You can get solid technique and strength built in that time. There's no rush 😉 Do you record your dancing? It's really fun to look back at older videos 😁
I’ve been scouring through beginner pole videos and NONE have been as helpful as this. Great job and thank you! I hope one day I can look at least be half as graceful and poised as you 🙏 *question: Will I eventually be able to spin multiple times around the pole without getting dizzy? I do this barefoot and wobbly after. If I we’re wearing the 7in heels commonly worn I’m sure I’d just tumble right over onto my cat🙈 Edit: 8/21/23 I can now all of the moves except for the backspin amongst a fee others. I take a weekly pole class in addition to practicing at home when I can. 9/27/23- I can now do all of the spin’s including both of the front hook to back hook transitions 🥹 I am so freaking happy
Thank you so much for all your great videos! I visited a pole dance beginners class and when it was over I bought my own pole to teach myself at home and your videos are essential for that. Thanks!
You are so welcome! I love making these videos. OMG I was EXACTLY the same. After my first class I was already thinking of buying a pole for home! SO worth it! 😁 Are you looking for tutorials on any particular move/ thing related to pole ?💃
@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer I just started a couple weeks ago, so I'm still fighting with beginner stuff and have many more of your videos to go. But if I should be looking for something special, I'm definitely coming back to your offer. Thank you!
Watching from a party bus with a pole in it. Hoping for a miracle. Dream did not come true, not due to bad instructions, those were helpful, muscles and athleticism didn’t not rear their heads this evening.
@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer was quite a challenge in the beginning, but after practicing what I seen you do a little bit everyday, I can finally hold myself on it elegantly without looking like a mess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
I just started pole. Not a dancer or gymnast and has not exercising for years. Loving all your beginer videos. Very helpful. May I ask where u get ur atire?
There is a very unique style/type of pole I saw once at a club. It was very short, maybe 5 ft tall. It was very thin, maybe 30mm or 35mm. I don’t know if it could support body weight for extended periods of time. It ‘whipped’ or ‘wobbled’ back and forth, because of a ball at its base that allowed the whole pole to rock back and forth and around like a video game controller joystick. The performers used the rocking ‘joystick’ like motion of the pole to perform moves that resembled pole vaulting like you’d see in the Olympics, but on a smaller scale of course. And also incorporating fan kicks and somersaults and such. One of the dancers even twisted over the TOP of the pole, which would be impossible on a traditional pole of course. Have you ever heard/seen of this type of pole before? Or maybe it was a custom thing for the club, I don’t know. I can’t find much out about it online, maybe you could help if you know something about it?
I love your videos. I just started pole dancing a few months ago. My trainer said, it's dangerous to try a spinning pole for beginners. Can you show us a video with these moves for a static pole? It'll be very helpful for me. Thanks ❤
I went to one studio that said the same but my local studio teaches on spinning and it is way more fun imo. I didn’t enjoy my static pole class and decided to give pole a try again and I love spinning pole! My instructor doesn’t put us in dangerous situations
Hi Jemma, I love the elegance and grace and you inspired me to get a pole. May I kindly ask if can you please share how far the pole is from the walls? Back sides and all? I don’t have a lot of space but would like a small space similar to this 😊 thank you!
So iv realized getting the foot work isn’t that hard it’s just trying to stay up there longer. Like my legs and hands get a good grip and I can stay up there but then iv realized the longer I’m up there the sweater my palms get and I start sliding down. Anything that can help with this ????
I love your pole!! Is it the xpole titanium gold? If yes how long you take to break it in? Would you recommend it or is slippery? Thank you girl, looking forward for more videos!
Hello! It's indeed XPole but it's brass coating :) I've never heard of titanium gold XPole before! I found my brass one was definitely more shiny when I first got it which could have made it a bit more slippery. Didn't take long to get some dirt on it = slightly more friction and grip 😂 I recommend my pole but not sure about titanium one because it's very sturdy. Where are you based? I have the exact link to the pole I have in description box if your in Australia and the most similar versions if you are in US or UK :)
Hi! Your videos are really helpful and you just got yourself a new subscriber! I’m taking beginner pole classes now and one thing I struggle with is getting higher off the ground. You seem really high up on your pole. Any tips for doing that? Thank you!
Thanks Leslie! And welcome to the Poletato community 😀 I do tend to go up on my tip toes and reach up as high as I can. I find this helpful for spins. Also, making sure you are engaging your shoulder th-cam.com/video/xT-FDcPqcPA/w-d-xo.html To get stronger, working the muscles in the above video off or on the pole can help! Are you on static or spinning? For static, you'll naturally need to slide down but for spinning you are able to hold yourself up at the same height for a couple of turns 😊
When I started, I found that heaps of extra strength training and conditioning work was helpful to be able to achieve the moves. Pilates is great for it. Stick with it, it gets easier with practice 😊
I am sensitive to motion and do feel dizzy easily! I do this hack which works really well to get rid of dizziness. I saw it on instagram but I can't find the video now! I'll try to explain it as best as I can so you can try it out :) You hold your 2 index fingers straight out in front of you, about head width apart. Slowly start to bring these two fingers closer together. While you do this, you want to look from one finger to the other until you have brought them together. Keep your head still the whole time so only your eyes are moving. Let me know if it works or if you could even understand my instructions 😅 Theres hacks for preventing dizziness while you spin, like looking at one point of your body, but they don't seem to work for me!
@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer Thanks for sharing! Oh my, lemme try that! 😆Do I do that before or after spin or is it something that I do that as a practice to trick my brain and getting used to the motion? I'll try looking at one point of the body too in my next pole class!
@@SylviaPaing No worries! :D You do it after spinning, when you are already dizzy. So it's only a bandaid solution but it works so well to recover quickly from dizziness so you can get back on the pole again.
Girl Same and i am a guy who danced 14 years 😂 it was more the twerking and floorwork for me 😂 and i always chose really short Songs so it dont get boring watching me 😂
For me, it took some time to develop strength in my arms and shoulders by practising the moves a couple times each class and then also just desensitising the back of my leg for the front hook so I could squeeze the pole firmly behind. Body grip can help a tonne when put behind the knee for front hook :)
Thanks! I love to nerd out and share as much as I can about pole 🤓 I am actually interested in seeing what online courses are out there. Do you have any suggestions of ones you liked?
Hi Alice! Is the difficulty just in your leg strength or your arms too? It's common to have a less strong side and this becomes an even bigger gap after doing pole when we are mostly strengthening our good side. A good practise is to strengthen your less strong side too. This can be done by doing off the pole exercises on the weaker side if doing moves on the pole is too tricky right now!
Spinning! I wouldn't be able to spin this much of static 😂 You can do all these moves on static though, but you'll need to do a big kick into it so you can spin.
Practice! Moves that felt like the flesh was being torn off my bones eventually got easier and you WILL get to the point where you just don't feel it anymore 😊
Haha! Just pacing myself here as I make my first few videos 😂 I like to encourage other pole dancers to pace themselves too! But don’t worry, I definitely love more challenging moves and plan on doing tutorials on these in the near future.

The move at 4:47 is like Weeee!!!! It looks fun but I bet it's difficult to hold yourself away from the pole and spin. Good job girlfriend.
You make it look so easy😅 excellent cues!! Thank you so much.

How do you stop spinning so fast?
I’m so dizzy
@@alexisdumas7335 I'm pretty sure that it depends how close u are to the pole, I've heard that the closer u are the slower u spin.
I can’t even do this I don’t have enough arm strength
Girl Same and i am a guy who danced 14 years 😂 it was more the twerking and floorwork for me 😂 and i always chose really short Songs so it dont get boring watching me 😂
Go gym. It’ll help
Me too, I am working on my arm muscles
Looks like your pole is on spin!
Please tell me how. I can’t even hold my self in the position because it feels like the pole is rubbing so much it pinces and hurts my legs
For me, it took some time to develop strength in my arms and shoulders by practising the moves a couple times each class and then also just desensitising the back of my leg for the front hook so I could squeeze the pole firmly behind.

@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer thank you ill give it a try! I just got some new pole grip! As well as some knee pad support.
I’m so 🥳🥸☹️😙🥰
You are amazing!!! Ive paid 100s of dollars for online courses and learnt less!
Thanks! I love to nerd out and share as much as I can about pole 🤓 I am actually interested in seeing what online courses are out there. Do you have any suggestions of ones you liked?
i can’t seem to do a back hook using my left leg but my right leg is perfect :(

Is her pole moving?
Why my pole doesn’t spin?
Take the screws out of the bottom of the pole
HELP MY HANDS ARE TOO SWEATY AND MY ARMS ARE SO WEAK
How do you make it not hurt seriously lol
Practice! Moves that felt like the flesh was being torn off my bones eventually got easier and you WILL get to the point where you just don't feel it anymore 😊
Please cc in Indonesia🙏
Hi! Sorry, I am not sure what you mean 😅
Did you start on a spinning pole or static? I see this is a spinning one.
You appear to know what you are doing. Forget the beginner stuff. Lets see what you can really do!
Haha! Just pacing myself here as I make my first few videos 😂 I like to encourage other pole dancers to pace themselves too! But don’t worry, I definitely love more challenging moves and plan on doing tutorials on these in the near future.
