Intermediate Pole Dancing: For Fitness and Fun

The best thing about this series of books is probably the pictures of almost every move. If you are familiar with Pole Dancing they are helpful however the descriptions can be confusing especially for someone new to Pole. The Author seems to have been making notes and never fully edited the descriptions. With some better descriptions, editing and grammar this series wouldn't be that bad. However if you have never Poled before, this is not the way to start. Find a reputable studio where there is an instructor who can teach you safely.

I liked this book and also the advanced pole dancing book, added lots of moves to my workout!

Doesn’t teach you anything. Just had pictures. YouTubes a lot better

While the author tries to explain things in a fun and easy way -all the technical information is left out of this _and the explanations proceed the pictures with just one picture per move. I don't believe this book is for anyone: it doesn't have enough safety and technical information in it to help beginner to intermediate dancers, and people that can actually do these moves, without the technical instruction provided, this book will be useless to them. The only place I give it is the author is very positive and easy-to-read though this doesn't translate well to higher levels of pole dancing when you could seriously injure yourself or learn the moves incorrectly (and making it harder for yourself)

This book offers some good information, if you already have some knowledge of intermediate pole. I don't agree with the order of the lessons though and there are some inconsistencies and writing errors. For example, I don't feel the lesson on shoulder mounts should be prior to learning handstands and climbs. The straddle carousel lesson should include a note that split grip can be hard on the wrists. Some wording (such as the use of "You should then" and "Now," is repetitive, and therefore makes it hard to follow. The drawings are extremely helpful and I do wish there were more of them. Also, without having read the beginner book, I don't know if there is a glossary or break down of terms, which would have been helpful as not all moves have the same names in each region. I do appreciate that the author mentions the need to work on ab strength in order to get some of the moves.*This digital copy was received in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.*

I wouldn't buy again hard to learn with poor illustrations

not very good book at all, would not recommend. Even my pole instructor was shock at how bad it was. wished I asked her first what book to get. best to get spin city bible.

I love the pics on the book and because I've got a DVD this theory book is very helpful to nail and understand it better;)

Was a gift. The recipient seemed pleased with it

Great book to read. Very basic and well explained. BOUGHT ALL 3 ALL GREAT.

Für mich war das Buch unbrauchbar, da der Weg in eine Pose nicht ersichtlich ist. Es wird nur die Endpose gezeigt und diese ist auch kein Foto, sondern eine grobe Zeichnung. Wenn man die Übungen schon kennt ist es vielleicht okay, aber neue Übungen kann man sich nicht erschließen.
