This move is considered advanced because it is an invert that requires significant core strength, and stability in the arms and shoulders. It is important not to rush into this movement and take steps to prepare your body for it through consistent training. You should already know your basic invert and be comfortable on a pole before attempting a shoulder mount.

The Shoulder Mount is an important step in your pole dancing journey that unlocks a new set of movements and allows you to start putting your own spin on different entrances to inverted moves. While an excellent achievement, the shoulder mount requires a lot of core strength and muscle stability in the cup grip position, and should not be rushed into.

**Safety Tips
When getting into cup grip, make sure your hands are close to your head. If they are too high, it can put strain on the elbows and will make the move much more difficult.
Be sure to engage your shoulders so you do not hang loosely from the joints. Keep every part of your body engaged and strong throughout the move, including the core, hips, and glutes.

**Common Mistakes (View more on website)
I Can't Get My Hips Up: If you are struggling to bring your hips up during the invert, you may benefit from core strength exercises. It may also help to lead with the hips, pushing the hips first towards the ceiling, rather than the legs.
My Cup Grip Doesn't Feel Strong: If you aren't comfortable in your cup grip, grip exercises can help. Pulling your whole body weight up with the cup grip can feel awkward at first. Make sure you are fairly close to your head, with the bottom hand at eye level, or just above eye level. It should feel like you are trying to pull the pole down towards the floor with your hands.
