  Newbie here, saying “hello” !

  Posted by Idreamincolour on January 31, 2015 at 4:46 pm

  Hey everyone! I’m new to pole and these boards, although, I’ve been checking out these discussions for about a month or so now. I’ve just recently purchased an Xpole xpert, and have been practicing for about 1 1/2 weeks. Before that, I took 2 classes, but find them difficult as they don’t mesh well with my schedule (difficult since I’m a full time student, mom of 3 boys and a wife). My back round is in dance ( salsa/tango in particular) and I was looking for a change as the town I’m now living in doesn’t provide that:( Fortunately, this has led me to pole! I’m so loving pole and the new strength I’m developing. It’s been a great new addition to the family and my kids take a few spins/climbs on it every day 🙂

  Thanks for the warm welcome, Veena! I’m more of a social/street dancer but love to watch others do the ballroom moves :)Been looking through your lessons for a couple of days but been so busy to actually dip into them. Any video suggestions for me? I can already do basic spins, climbs. Really need to improve core and lower body as I’m crazy flexible from dance, which often results in injury. Thanks!

  Yes, check out the conditioning section! This is important for any level. Also note that all lessons are in order to help build up the strength and skills needed to progress. 💜

  Thanks! Your videos look very useful. I’ll be doing some of those tomorrow. Got on my pole tonight to work out some sciatica pain and ended up playing away :)It’s very easy to get carried away, wow..
