• 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 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 :)

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!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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 😁

[@sujitadas4949]

It is a month I have started taking lessons once a week. I keep on forgetting steps but your video will help me

[@khadejasmith9228]

Did you go to a class?

[@Calicat8]

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

[@Jusst_bre]

I can’t even do this I don’t have enough arm strength

[@cds722]

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 😂

[@TheFairy1992]

You make it look so easy😅 excellent cues!! Thank you so much.

[@fabioladecker7191]

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!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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 ?💃

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!

[@Charliebun]

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?

[@liciasouva97]

How did you get the arm muscle and core to hold yourself up???

[@likewhaaaat]

Pilates would help :)

[@MiaYuu]

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 ❤

[@nikoglaz]

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

[@miskaball1734]

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!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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 :)

[@marlyssagee]

Hi which pole do you use can you send link

[@clsconrad]

Only 2 months in... those moves are doable!

[@L0R3N0RV1S]

Omg slayer bc some people think it's sus but it's not

[@lezligg]

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!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/roWQd3eZhdaWhqM 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 😊

[@clsconrad]

😍

[@khuwailatmasoud2206]

are those poles rotating when you rotated yourself or they are fixed you have to make friction through your skin? am curious to know.😍

[@Jusst_bre]

The pole turn

[@brajaunagrant3617]

I’m so 🥳🥸☹️😙🥰

[@SylviaPaing]

How do you spin without feeling dizzy? Are there any tips on it? 🥺

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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!

[@SylviaPaing]

@@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!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

@@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.

[@carmena.2141]

Hi! Do you use a static or spinning pole?

[@d.on.in.a]

This one looks like it's in spinning mode

[@EchoJade117]

Are you doing these moves in a spinning or static mode?

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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.

[@TheAs63401]

Looks like your pole is on spin!

[@nora_meansnarley4653]

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

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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 :)

[@nora_meansnarley4653]

@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer thank you ill give it a try! I just got some new pole grip! As well as some knee pad support.

[@annacook133]

You are amazing!!! Ive paid 100s of dollars for online courses and learnt less!

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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?

[@alicemarr2687]

i can’t seem to do a back hook using my left leg but my right leg is perfect :(

[@PoletatoJemPoleDancer]

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!

[@alexisdumas7335]

How do you stop spinning so fast?

[@alexisdumas7335]

I’m so dizzy

[@iiangelz9197]

@@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.

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.
