Genie Tutorial - Pole Dance Tricks - Beginner

Pole Tricks Book- August Challenge
Day 4 - Genie
Here is a tutorial for you ready to post tomorrow on the 13th August.
Nailing this one is essential for progression in pole.
There is some much you can do from it.
It can help you understand how to create good leg locks on the pole which will build those hamstrings nice and strong.
Plus will help with moves such as outside leg hangs as you progress to intermediate level :)

Great instructions! I always seem to not be able to connect my botton knee...then when I do, I can't release my top arm. I can't wait to practice what you just taught me. TY!!!

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 would like to try a no-hands genie, but even though I can feel that I don't have much load on my one hand left, I'm scared to let go. 😅 Any tips for that transition/advancement ? 🙃

[@PolePowerAcademy]

Absolutely, practise your Cupid lots to make sure you have the best hook under your knee, start from the ground so that you're already low down and use a crash mat. Work on crunching up from a low down position to fire up your obliques and start with just loosening the grip from the hand, just for a couple of seconds - work on increasing the length of time with the grip loosened before you attempt to fully remove the hand. Good luck! You've got this :)

[@sammantham111]

When I do this it feel like it hurts my tendons/hamstrings behind my knees too much?

[@PolePowerAcademy]

It's all in the conditioning :) The more you do them, the less they hurt :)
