In this video I'll demonstrate the beginner Side Pole Hold Grip! Please understand this is a demo; I do not suggest you try this if you're new to pole dance. This is a grip we'll work up to when you follow my beginner programs, like the 30 day take off or when you work through the beginner tutorials. This grip might take someone a few pole sessions, a month or more to achieve. There is no timeline you must adhere to when it comes to progressing in pole dance.
The key to the Side Pole Hold, sometimes called Strong Hold, is utilizing the armpit along with the hands. Adding the aid of the armpit takes some of the strain off the back and biceps. We use the Side Pole Hold for beginner through advanced pole work. It's my favorite grip for teaching Inverts.
