Hello! Anyone from Canada- ON?

witeroze started this discussion · 8/15/2009

Never formally introduced myself! I'm 20. Got my pole less than 2 weeks ago, but I've been watching pole videos online almost daily for months now. I find it fascinating. I've never done dancing/sports, I have a TON of strength yet to build, but hey you gotta start somewhere right? And I thought this would be a (hard, yet) awesome way to start. 😀 Just interested to know if there's anyone here from Toronto, Canada? Personally I don't know anyone around here into poledancing, but it would be really cool if there are! Well you guys are all awsome, but it would be so cool to have a pole pal in real life too, to share your experiences with! Not that I can really do anything on my pole yet anyway, LOL, 🙄 but once I learn that would be great. 🫡

I took my first pole dancing class at Aradia Fitnes, MJ, in London ON. 🙂

I am so glad to hear that. I have popped into your profile and your pole work is beautiful. Please don't refer to yourself as a beginner poler--your moves are intermediate to advanced and are executed perfectly. You are one amazing pole bunny!! I look forward to more pics and videos from you in the future. Happy Poling MJ

thanks for your replies everyone 🙂 yah i actually took 4 or 5 classes at Aradia a while ago, but i have a pole at home now and i prefer learning at home for now (plus classes are kinda costly). maybe if i become advanced i'll look into professional training 🙂 i have to say though i was by far the youngest in my class! there was no one else in my age group lol.

All right VEENA. I'm starting to come out slowly but surely. I'm Joni from mississauga, ontario. I have been pole dancing for 2 years. I'm 43 and just felt so much older than you all in your 20's and 30's, so I HAVE BEEN HIDING just watching all the great vids and great topics. BUT i am slowly creaping out of the woodwork. I have learned alot from you all and I THANK YOU ALL for that. Joni 😳

(i know i shouldnt be talking lol). but seriously theres so many older women here that are so awesome, i cant even imagine that i'll ever get to their level! so its not really about age anymore.. and as far as talent goes, i actually enjoy watching newbie vids as much as the advanced ones... so i think its awesome that everyone is posting! 👍

Hello from Brantford! We finally got a studio here, so I get to take classes. I fled TO in the 90's with small children due to the fact that this place is more kid-friendly (strollers on the TTC, ugh!) but I come into the city every now and then. Welcome to Veena's. You're going to love it here, eh? 🙂
witeroze · 8/24/2009
thank you. yes i already do love it here 🥂

I am from Toronto, I have been pole dancing for just over 5 months. I find it incredably addictive!! I wish I had more time to dedicate to pole practise!
witeroze · 11/18/2009
Hey there stars.. 🥂 Do you learn at home or take classes? I know what you mean, I've had my pole for 3.5 months and i love it, but after the first month school started and it's been pretty brutal this year 😲 . i have no time for practice these days, all i do is a few spins everyday for fun. i just can't wait for christmas break just so i'll be able to pole everyday !! 😀 😀 😀

I can't leave it alone!!! Everytime i walk into that room i atleast have to touch it. whats wrong with me? Ohh and i had no idea how sore and bruised up i would be. but still love it. I can't wait to be doing all the amazing things you guys do on the pole! yay. so ya thats it.

Layla Duvay · 12/1/2009
Hello from Brantford!! I know where you are! I love going to Niagara Falls (Clifton Hill's my favourite!) and getting lost on the roads in and around Twenty Valley and going "Holy crap! Gretzky's got a vineyard too?!" I've been to St. Catherines (the Mandarin there's the BEST), but haven't been to your town yet! Welcome to your new addiction and congrats on your XPole. Are there any pole studios locally for you?

Hiya; I'm from Toronto as well...nobody has posted in sometime but I thought I would post anyway. I live and work in Toronto. I'm almost 43...I just purchased an xpert from Sissy Buns and it should arrive next week and right now seems really far away! I work out at Aradia Fitness-downtown and have been seriously taking lessons since January. I started with a beginner class in November but wasn't sure about it(so it doesn't count)... but went back to class in January and now I'm a full on addict. Pretty awesome thing to be addicted to! 🐷

I'm in Durham and was taking classes locally. Got into a car accident so I've had to stop for now. Can't wait to get back on the pole as soon as I can.
