I didn't really use a spin pole until 10 years after I'd started pole dancing and chopper is one of the 1st moves I learned. One time I was in a distant studio and I was on the only pole on spin mode in the class. When we did chopper someone told me mine was great and I was like yeah it's a spinning pole, not realizing some people called a static inverted V a chopper. I always thought it had to spin to be a chopper. For best results don't use grip aid but if you have other things in your routine that require dry, grippy hands you may get the same sputter as in the video. You have to decide what is most important to you. I always used chopper as a way to get to the floor for floor work. Private lessons available text 410 868 7957 for details.
Super slow and easy to follow. Little flexibility required, beginner exotic pole dance routine. Most dancers when they're first starting out move too fast. Other dancers will tell you: slow down, move at half the speed you are moving now. The reason for this is most people don't realize even a fast song has either a slower melody or a 1 beat you can move on instead of the tempo of the whole song. When I started teaching pole dancing in 2006 static pole was standard. It was rare to see a spinning pole and the studio I taught in never switched to the poles that can do both. I didn't get on a spin pole until 2011 when a client loaned me her static/spin pole. This was a full 10 years after I first started poling and 5 years after I'd started teaching. This is purposely slow and without splits because I wasn't even able to do a split when I 1st started dancing. Private lessons available. DM me for details.
This is how to do a move called the helix. It's built off of the outside leg hang and relies heavily on that top hand to keep you on the pole. Pulling hard on that hanging leg with your free hand will put pressure on your hand you may not be ready for. I am available for private lessons, DM for details.
