Managing Dizziness When Learning Pole Dancing At
Home On A Spinning Dance Pole

• I have had a lot of people asking me questions
  recently on how to deal with dizziness when
  learning how to pole dance for fitness especially
  for beginners. This is a very common concern and
  some beginners fear that they will never learn to
  enjoy doing pole spins and tricks for the long
  term because of the dizziness they experience.

• For other people, this may sound like a very
  trivial question, but this is something that you
  should consider for your safety especially when
  transitioning from using a static dance pole into
  a spinning dance pole.

• Ideally, pole dance beginners use the static
  dance pole first to practice the basic movements
  of pole dance before switching to a spinning or
  rotating dance pole. This is because spinning or
  rotating dance poles allow a lot of momentum and
  require some skill and strength to manipulate.

• More than that, dancing on a spinning dance pole
  can cause motion sickness so much that they are
  at risk of falling off the pole we want to avoid
  that. )

• People get dizzy because of the conflicting
  messages that the parts of the nervous system
  that controls their sense of balance and
  equilibrium send to our brain.

• An example would be a damaged ear sending the
  wrong signals as compared to the other ear which
  isnt damaged. The conflicting signals to the
  brain makes it confused about our sense of
  rotation making us suffer and experience vertigo
  or nausea. More importantly, we are not cookie
  cutters and our sense of equilibrium are greatly
  affected by the state of our general health.

• Some people may have better sense of equilibrium
  than others and this is why your friend in pole
  class may be able to endure a longer pole spin
  while you get left feeling like you might throw
  up after one rotation every body is different.
• The good news is that bodies adapt and regardless
  of your bodys brain messages, with time, it will
  adjust to the movement as you continue practicing
  your pole dancing spins.

• 1. Do not drink or take products that hamper your
  bodys circulation before pole dancing like
  caffeine, nicotine, and salt.
• 2. Try to relax prior to pole dancing. Undue
  stress or anxiety can precipitate motion
  sickness.

• 3. Dont fight the rotation of your spinning
  dance pole and make it work to your advantage.
  Also, try spinning from different directions to
  see which side or direction your body favors.
  Once you know which side is stronger, work on
  your weaker side to come out equally strong and
  muscularly balanced. Working on your weaker side
  will subconsciously force you to go slower.

• 4. Start small and start with short spinning pole
  lessons to help your body adjust to the new
  movements. Moreover, always start practicing with
  the beginner spinning pole combos first on a
  spinning dance pole before jumping onto more
  complicated movements.

• In the PoleBody Complete Home Edition, there are
  several short pole dancing routines that are
  warm ups and they do not usually cause any
  dizziness for beginners. These are a great way
  to ease your body into your more advanced pole
  dancing training periods.
• 5. Be consistent with your spinning dance pole
  practices to really get your body to learn the
  nuances of dancing on a spinning dance pole
  because there is also such a thing as muscle
  memory.

• 6. Control your transitions. Do not be too fast
  or too hasty especially when you are still
  learning to dance on a spinning dance pole. The
  key is to get your body accustomed to the motions
  of dancing while spinning first. When your body
  has adjusted, you can progress from the basic
  dance pole moves to trickier ones.

• 7. Control your momentum. Know how to slow
  yourself down from spinning especially when
  descending a dance pole. Pulling your body nearer
  to a spinning dance pole will make the pole go
  faster while extending your body or a body part
  away from the pole will slow it down. Learning
  to control your momentum in this way will also
  help you avoid unnecessary bruising caused from
  gripping the pole too hard or slamming into the
  pole when you dont have proper control.

• 8. When practicing on a spinning dance pole, have
  a buddy to help slow you down when you feel
  youre getting dizzy. Let your partner put a
  little pressure by squeezing the base of the
  dance pole. A lot of pressure on the dance pole
  would stop it abruptly and send you flying, so
  squeeze gently.

• 9. Lastly, Take some motion sickness medication
  like Dramamine, Bonine, and Marezine. These are
  over the counter drugs and can be bought without
  a prescription. However, I would only suggest
  this if your motion sickness is really bad and
  cannot be controlled by regular methods. Please
  rest and give your body time to adjust before
  considering drugs, after all, they are a bit
  toxic on the body.
