10 Beautiful & Easy Pole Tricks Without Inverting (Beginner/Intermediate Level)

Hi guys!
Wow, it’s been 2 years since I last did one of these kind of videos. I know training and motivation can be hard to come by these days so I thought I’d do a tricks video aimed towards beginner/intermediate level with elegant shapes without having to invert. I’m not totally sure of the names for these moves but here’s a rough idea:
1. Swan seat to stag variation
2. Figurehead variation
3. Figurehead to Umbrella and variations
4. Shi shi spin to Broken wing variation
5. Vortex
6. Double cross knee release to Crescent moon variation
7. Stargazer to Rainbow and variation
8. Single embrace and variation
9. Karate kid and variations
10. Twisted Cupid to Compass variation
Feel free to ask any questions below and if you try any of these moves I would love to see them!

Please be careful when attempting any new move, use a crash mat and spotter if possible.

Can I just say how much I love these shapes. I've been so focused on hard tricks lately, that I've forgot how simple moves can be beautiful as well. Just lovely

[@tanyacheung]

Aww, yay glad you enjoyed the video. Sometimes its just nice to spin and enjoy the shapes and moment. Happy poling!

@@tanyacheungfacts I danced all through 18-28 and I’m just getting my back into it at 35 and trying to remember all the moves is harder than I thought. Love these for inspo and new ideas! Hope you’re still poling😂❤

[@sweetiesis8848]

I felt like I couldn't do anything cool yet lol. This video just motivated me. Thank you!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

Ahhhh I love these 😍 Perfect for my more advanced beginners! This should keep them entertained for a while 😆

[@kelseyspolejourney5417]

Every time I come back to this video I think "now is the time to try these moves!" And then I see that single-arm Embrace and I'm like... "maybe later!"

[@tanyacheung]

Haha you can do it! My top tip is to stay engaged and remove the elbow slowly, do NOT kick the legs back! Think about the points of contact and if it doesn’t feel secure then keep both elbows on, it’ll still look great ☺️

[@sunshine1117]

So graceful! Girl, you are like a floating angel! Gorgeous!

[@tanyacheung]

Aww thank you 🥰

[@cyerawilliams5456]

I pulled a muscle on the very first one y’all, please stretch really good before attempting 😂 beautiful shaped though, I can’t wait to try again.

[@jennifermills3389]

Best video no talking straight to it clear visual thank you 🙏

[@tanyacheung]

Thank you ❤️

[@zeldam00n]

... These are not easy, not beginner imo. been poling multiple times a week for a year. I think this requires an incredible amount of strength and flexibility.

[@shakhzosh]

Yeees! Even the moves that seem so simple are very hard for a beginner. It's only been 2 months since I'm going and most of the moves she shows here would be hard for me

[@TheAs63401]

These are definitely not beginner moves

[@ChatOmbre]

Beautiful intermediate shapes! Thank you for sharing. I would count a couple of these as types of inverts.

[@Sophie-cr4xg]

Thank you SO much for this video!! It’s clear and is straight to the point. So beautiful

Good luck and happy poling! I cant wait to see it 😍

[@candy1apples]

Sp pretty! I love it!

[@tanyacheung]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@Ivy487]

Wow

[@anitametke4367]

I always spin to fast, should I be slowing my whole body from the start of my walk? I seem to speed up mid trick.

[@tanyacheung]

This is common for most people when they first try spin pole. My advice is to try to keep yourself close to the pole when doing the walk, usually the inside arm is too low which being your body further away from the pole causing the pole to speed up. Hope this helps!

[@LeChatNoir1300]

I have the same problem! What helps me is to not get any momentum from the walk. So I start from the side of the pole and I turn to face the pole spinning as slowly as I can on my inside leg, and this half turn gives me enough spin.

[@anitametke4367]

Thanks! I'll give these tips, a spin. 😁

[@tee7225]

How does one acquire this much talent lol

[@tanyacheung]

Hahah thank you! Through hard work and enjoying the journey 😆

[@nicholasjacobson3712]

these were really hard lol but you looked beautiful

[@tanyacheung]

Thank you!

[@meiki_zett5628]

Lovely! How is the trick called that you show at 02:25? The one with the crossed knees? I'd like to see a tutorial on that one...

[@tanyacheung]

Hi. I just call it a double cross knee release but yes I can do a tutorial one day on it ☺️

[@meiki_zett5628]

@@tanyacheung Thank you :-) I'd appreciate it!!!!

[@aureliemocude1856]

Merci

[@to.kanali]

If those are easy,what the hard are?

[@blackandabundant]

I love how the first one is supposed to be easy but I could not for the life of me get my leg behind me without falling. Neither could my pole teacher 😂

[@tanyacheung]

It could be an issue with either flexibility or technique, with a little more practise I’m sure you’ll get it! I also cover tricks like these on my Patreon channel, in depth tutorials on how to achieve pretty shapes and combos if you’d like to learn!

[@mariatangled]

what is the move at 1:53 called?

[@Tadaisme101]

Its so difficult for me😥hope i can do it one day

[@tanyacheung]

Keep practising and I know you’ll get there ☺️

[@piperdaly9838]

Love your video. What is the move called 1:53

[@tanyacheung]

Thank you! Not sure of exact names but check out the info box for an idea ❤️

[@teeboogie1202]

Lies and deceit! None of this is anywhere near beginner.

[@tanyacheung]

I have been able to successfully teach beginners these tricks. These tricks are aimed towards beginner/intermediate level and as shown there are variations of the tricks. To make a trick easier for example, then try to keep both hands on or maybe some may prefer to do it without the pole spinning.

[@helenva382]

@@tanyacheung I'm a beginner/intermediate and I could do all of these c: they were really helpful because these tricks look harder than they are :D usually beginner tricks look like beginner tricks :D

[@tanyacheung]

@@helenva382 yay glad you enjoyed it ❤️

This is beautiful. Just stunning. Thank you! ❤
