    If the only way to learn pole had been through routines, I would have been done after the first class. I never could follow choreo, even when young. I certainly wouldn’t have been able to teach. I was always the oldest in class when I was a student…even recently, my daughter and I did an intro to aerial hoop and silks and I was the oldest. When I was teaching pole at a studio though, the studio started to attract more than just the younger generation and ladies closer to my own age are the ones I prefer to teach the most. The rewards are so much greater in my opinion.

    So nice to hear other “mature” ladies chiming in, lol. I’m always the oldest in every class at 49
    What are your ages?

    I’m 55, and I started 4 years ago. There are some tricks that I will never be able to do because of back and hip flexibility, but I keep learning new tricks and am happy with the strength and toned muscles that pole has given me.

    Hi, I’m 53 and started pole when i was 46. I have always been the oldest in class although sometimes i have had class mates that are close to my age and it has been great fun. Keep up the conditioning as I find that if I don’t I tend to loose the fitness and strength quicker than when I was younger.

You may even end up competing or performing at some point. You’ve got nothing to lose, here….we are all supporting you. I , too, follow Gretta Pontarelli. She’s incredible !
