!! I cannot express enough my gratitude for how you’ve designed this series, the rewinds, angles, explanations for hand placement, examples of good/bad posture, simple ways to string new moves together…your hard work, the editing, the voiceover EVERYTHING is golden. Thank you
Um... maybe bc I am old, yet I am also a very strong roller skater, but I can't do the floor pirouette yet, nor the diamond. But I am so grateful. I got the dip spin right away and the standing pirouette! Thank you so much. Looking forward to accomplishing all these moves in time while strengthening my arms. What a gift these videos are. Thank you, Poletato!
Hi Steph! hahahah dw about age! I have a 40+ year old woman in my class and she is by far one of the most solid tricksters I've seen 😂 that's so cool you roller skate! I loved roller skating in the house growing up! It sounds like you've got some great motor planning skills to be able to get the pirouette and dip spin! Are you finding it's the balance or more so getting the sequence/timing of the moves that makes the diamond spin/floor pirouette tricky?
Very very very very good video!!! The "100 times" showing the same, is all I needed... Most videos of pole dance for beginners are showing 2 times the same, and it's too fast. Your video helps me A LOT. THANKS!
I remember watching this when I first started dancing and diamond spin being IMPOSSIBLE 😂 To all the beginners - Keep going, it gets easier! You can do it!
I think this is super important as a lot of beginner pole move videos I would watch when I was starting out were anything but. And now that I'm more intermediate I've found a wonderful appreciation for the simpler moves, especially in choreo! Always love your videos :)
Yeah!! I'm similar to you in that I have been going back to earlier moves and actually enjoying them! At first, I was trying to rush through everything so quickly and I didn't spend time enjoying what I know. Thank you for always sending lovely comments here 💗
This is excellent! I love how you acknowledge how hard it is to just start lifting all of your weight right away, yet give beginners plenty of pretty options!
I adore you! This is the most useful video I’ve ever seen! I’m a beginner and I have so many difficulties, but I really adore this sport… many thanks for this video!!!!🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Hello Marta! Thank you for dropping by and leaving a lovely comment! 💗 One thing I've been hearing a lot from other beginners is that they are also finding this sport challenging. I am glad you are enjoying it though! This is so important to keep going with this difficult sport. What kind of things are you finding tricky right now?
I had my first pole class last night. The instructor had us move pretty fast. We went from engaging the muscles to climbing and spins. I'm glad you made these videos! I'm currently too weak to climb or do most spins.
THANK YOU for going slow and not only showing the moves multiple times but going into more detail, zooming in and focusing on certain areas, and being very specific!
Just got my pole yesterday. Your videos are perfect! I am a very mature beginner. Your instruction is amazing yet I am gobsmacked how uncoordinated I am as it takes me quite some time to figure one move. Like quite sometime yesterday to master first yesterday. I am on to 2 today
These videos are the best ones I have found and VERY beginner friendly. Many other videos introduce moves that I don't feel like are for introductory pole
Thank you! I know what you mean, some of the moves in my other vids are not the best introductory moves either! Once you've been poling for some time, it's easy to forget what absolute beginner friendly moves are! It actually feels harder to come up with beginner friendly moves! I'm excited to find and teach more for you all ❤️
You are an amazing teacher. I'm trying to work on my upper body strength so that I can eventually get stronger to do more complex tricks on the pole. You are an outstanding teacher, breaking everything down so methodically. This was so helpful thank you! I definitely subscribed.
I just started yesterday and I have watched a few videos but your videos are by far the absolute best for beginners I love how you show the step more then once and slow everything down.. I used to be a dancer and was super flexible but that was when I was a teenager I didn’t realize how out of shape I really have become. I’m not as flexible as I once was.. I’m having a bit of trouble with learning the pirouette, but hopefully with time I’ll get it pretty easy.
C'est super comme tu expliques ton tuto, enfin quelqu'un qui nous montre pas à pas les exercices merci beaucoup. Est-ce que tu as des conseils à donner à celles qui ont de la peine à faire le step around? Merci 🙂🙂🙂
Hi!! Is this Valeria?? Thanks for sharing that you have just started classes! I am so excited for you 💖 Hopefully some videos here will be relevant for you as you start your exciting pole journey 🌟
Hi Lilian! For Part 2 I will be showing both left and right sides of the mini combo but it won't be with a voice over :( Do you know how to play UA-cam videos at a slower speed to follow along? The good news is I plan to make videos where I am speaking while demonstrating so I can get more videos out to your guys (the voice over method can be a much longer process to edit!). Hopefully you'll like this new style to come :D
So far you are the best instructor I have watched in UA-cam. Some say beginners but there's no way I could do over half of the stuff. But watching & following along to your video has helped me tremendously
Youre tips are so great! I tried Pole Dance several times (for months) but gave up very quickly each time, because my teacher shows us too hard moves for beginners! Which is really frustrating. But i love this sport! So this is perfect! 🌸
@@sunjawinter9173 hahaha, once you feel yourself getting stronger by doing more simple pole moves and strengthening off the pole too, you can try moves where you are holding more of your body weight with the help of your legs/ other body parts too :) I would say doing spins with just your arms would come after that.
Can you make a video on the details of your pole? Why you chose that material? Is it brass or gold? How’s the grip? Do you prefer it to chrome? What kind of pole is it?
Hi Makaela! I might be able to answer your questions much faster on here 😀 1) Pole finish I chose a brass pole because I find them to be much more grippier. They say brass can be good in more humid climates. You'll find some countries tend to preference a pole finish over the other. Most people I know like the brass pole for its grip. The only other pole we have at the studio is a chrome pole which makes you slide much more easily. But the funny thing is, different people have different skin and that means some grip better to chrome!! If you can try both, I highly recommend to before you purchase one for home. I also figured, since my studio has brass poles, I may as well practise on the same ones so I can more easily transfer moves between home and the studio. 2) Size I go for a 40mm because my hand can fit better around this smaller size. It really depends on your hand size! The larger ones feel too scary to get a good grip on for me! 3) My pole I have an X-pert Complete Set (NX) Spinning X-pole (brass 40mm) - it can also be changed to static. X-pole is a really good brand with safe and high quality poles. I wouldn't go for any less with equipment which will be holding my entire body weight! This is the exact pole I have (bought in Australia) bit.ly/33Ly91c Where are you based? If you are in the US, this is the closest pole to mine I could find: XPERT Pro PX (spinning and static) xpoleus.com/shop-all/poles/xpert-pro/xpert-pro-px/affiliate/poletatojempoledancer/ (note: this is an affiliate link I have with XPole US) Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer 😊
These ones are from Lunalae. The padding is thick so very comfy! They have sticky dots on them so you can pole with them. I got a medium but thinking should’ve gotten small because they are sliding down sometimes!! There’s ones without as much padding which people use because they can look more discreet
I just got my first pole yay but not knowing and trying to do these things without any knowledge is a pain literally.. I have so many bruises and pain in between the legs.. I appreciate your videos because you’re the only one who break the moves completely down.. I need a lot of work I’m not in shape I’ve gain so many pounds so lifting myself have been a challenge thank you for taking the time to do this
Hi Morgan! I can relate so much to the frustration of pole! I can't believe how hard it is to try and do moves without some guidance. Pole is frustrating for so many reasons including the pain! (trust me, if it's skin pain you're referring to, it gets better!) It's totally okay and 100% recommended to take it slow! I've been reading this book www.thepolept.com/product/the-book/ and Neola talks about how important it is to get your body ready for the extremely challenging moves of pole by first strengthening off the pole. You might find you are a lot more stronger and ready to then do moves on the pole. There are other things that can help like using grip for the hands and/or the body if you are a slider like me :)

Your kind feedback is so appreciated!!🥺💖
Also, I love this video and breaking it down step by step. So appreciative, Roop
Thank you 💖 So happy you found it useful!!
I love how you break these down step by step…SUPER helpful!!!

Thank you. Using your beginner videos to train my weak side. I have a huge muscle imbalance so gotta work on the bad side more now.
Very very very very good video!!! The "100 times" showing the same, is all I needed... Most videos of pole dance for beginners are showing 2 times the same, and it's too fast. Your video helps me A LOT. THANKS!
Amazing instructions and break down of each movement, thank you!!!!
This is so helpful!!!! Thank you!!
This video is so amazing, the replays are very helpful!!!! Keep it up :)
Thank you so much 💖 New subscriber!
I loved this video
This was great!
Thanks!! So pleased you liked it!
In this video, is your pole in static or spin mode? Great tutorial!!! It’s helping me so much!
spin! but can be done on static too!
I remember watching this when I first started dancing and diamond spin being IMPOSSIBLE 😂 To all the beginners - Keep going, it gets easier! You can do it!
Thank you! I thought it was just me 😅
Omg your replays are unprecedented. I don't have to rewind constantly... thank you!!!
Yay! I am happy it is helping you follow along Erin 💖 Are you learning pole online?
YES
I think this is super important as a lot of beginner pole move videos I would watch when I was starting out were anything but. And now that I'm more intermediate I've found a wonderful appreciation for the simpler moves, especially in choreo! Always love your videos :)

This is excellent! I love how you acknowledge how hard it is to just start lifting all of your weight right away, yet give beginners plenty of pretty options!
Thanks! 💕 I didn't even think about it until somebody said they couldn't do the spins on here!
fr!! im learning now and i can’t get up on the pole at all yet and all the “beginner” lessons are in the air already like HOWWW
I adore you! This is the most useful video I’ve ever seen! I’m a beginner and I have so many difficulties, but I really adore this sport… many thanks for this video!!!!🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Hello Marta! Thank you for dropping by and leaving a lovely comment! 💗 One thing I've been hearing a lot from other beginners is that they are also finding this sport challenging. I am glad you are enjoying it though! This is so important to keep going with this difficult sport.
What kind of things are you finding tricky right now?
Just started a few days ago, this video has been SO HELPFUL! I love that you analyze each move more than once
I had my first pole class last night. The instructor had us move pretty fast. We went from engaging the muscles to climbing and spins. I'm glad you made these videos! I'm currently too weak to climb or do most spins.
I’m STRUGGLING with the second step, only because I physically cannot figure out how you turned your hand around for the trick 😭
THANK YOU for going slow and not only showing the moves multiple times but going into more detail, zooming in and focusing on certain areas, and being very specific!
I’m restarting after about a year😬😬😣😣pray for me guys pole burn city here come me and my thighs jk jk 🤣
oh I love all your stuff!!!!! I was searching Horizon car racing gaming came up with pole dancers dancing to techno and racing cars
Just got my pole super excited but don't know where to start!
How much space should you have around the pole in a room? I have a really small apartment
Just got my pole yesterday. Your videos are perfect! I am a very mature beginner. Your instruction is amazing yet I am gobsmacked how uncoordinated I am as it takes me quite some time to figure one move. Like quite sometime yesterday to master first yesterday. I am on to 2 today
can you do the floor pirouette with shoes on?
This is exactly what we need. Thank you so much! Anubhav, Roop
No worries! Makes my day to know you are finding my videos useful! 💕 I hope you have fun doing some new moves 💃
Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo.

This is amazing and just what I needed! Can't wait for part 2! Thank you for such detailed instructions!
Yay! I'm glad you liked it Brie! Part 2 coming your way 😀

Aww thank you 🥰 I like to bore my in-person students with the nitty gritty details a little bit too much😝
Thank you ❤

Hi!! Is this Valeria?? Thanks for sharing that you have just started classes! I am so excited for you 💖 Hopefully some videos here will be relevant for you as you start your exciting pole journey 🌟
Love your page I wish that when u do the combo with all the movements that you do a voiceover so that I can follow it as Im dancing in the pole ❤️❤️❤️

I love this! What pole do you have?
Thanks!! Xpole brass 40mm pole :) I have some links in the description of exact pole model :D
Youre tips are so great! I tried Pole Dance several times (for months) but gave up very quickly each time, because my teacher shows us too hard moves for beginners! Which is really frustrating.
But i love this sport!
So this is perfect! 🌸
I'm going to take pole classes. I can't wait to learn the swing move lol
This is the best channel for beginners, your videos helped me better than a real pole class! Thank you so much
I hope there will be more videos on this!!
Oh yes! There is a part 2 and it seems a lot of people are looking for moves like this so I am wanting to make more videos like this in future :)
@@PoletatoJemPoleDancer would also love to learn how to progress from weak arms🥺
@@sunjawinter9173 hahaha, once you feel yourself getting stronger by doing more simple pole moves and strengthening off the pole too, you can try moves where you are holding more of your body weight with the help of your legs/ other body parts too :) I would say doing spins with just your arms would come after that.
wow 😋
Thank you Jemma! 🙏💖💖💖
This is soo helpful! I started poledancing literally last week and I don't have the muscles yet to lift my entire body from the floor.
Me either I just started yesterday and didn’t realize how out of shape I really was
Thank u just got mine and learning

Omg yesss exactly what I need!!
Yes! So great to hear 💕
thank you a lot
