Do poler's get dizzy spinning around all the time?
The answer....
When I first started pole, just practicing one basic spin on static around the pole over and over would make me a bit dizzy. Boy, was I in for a treat when I first jumped on spinner pole. For those of you unfamiliar with my blog, a lot of poles can usually convert between spinner and static mode. First few tries, I jumped on spinner with a zest and enthusiasm and ended up stumbling around for a few steps after I got off the pole. After that, I definitely spun with more caution and a bit less momentum.
I’ve also heard a few other tricks for beginners to help with dizziness from my instructors – such as jumping a few times up and down after finishing with the spin pole or trying to spot. I do think the more you pole, that you build up some tolerance to the dizziness and get more used to going around and around in circles. You don’t really see pole dancers in routines having to jump up and down between combos to adjust their head, haha.
I myself have built up tolerance to the dizziness of the spin. It really doesn’t make me dizzy too often now unless I spin wayyyy too fast. For me, I had to get used to the spin in different positions. I did notice when I first tried brass monkey where you end up in an upside down position looking towards the floor on spinner, the dizziness did get me although I had already been used to spinning in an upright position or inverted position while facing the ceiling!
^Yup, that move made me dizzy when I first started trying it on spinner! SPIN ME DIZZY!
