My problems: space,wood boarding, parents

Hey there! I really want to have a x pole in my bedroom but there are some probs... 1.I wonder if i have enough space for the pole. The space would be 2.3meter on 2.3 meter. (2.3 meter are 7.5 feet) Is this enough space? I've measured my body lengh (with straight arms) and I got 2.15. 2. I have also a wood boarding on the ceiling. Would that be a problem If I want to get an x-pole? Because it works with pressure, so I'm not sure if the ceiling won't get kinda broken. 3.My parents. I'm probably anoying them for more than 3 months with my pole wish. My father still has this conservative view of pole dancing, which just sucks! And my mother thinks, this isn't really a good workout or sport. I should rather do a sport like tennis, volleyball or go riding a bike...nothing against these sports, but not one of them beats pole dance in the fun and workout factor I think. I took classes in pole dancing, and since then I'm addicted to it! I probably watch most of the time the videos from here, studioveena, and my only though the whole time: I want to get on a pole too! So I would be happy about some comments! PS: If there are some strange phrases, I just have to apologize for my english 😳

If you can convince her, you should get your Mum to come to a pole dance class if you can, and perhaps even mention beforehand to the teacher that you're trying to show her how great of a workout it really is (so she might emphasise the muscles being used etc). Usually just one hour on the pole is enough to show anyone that it IS physically challenging. Or seeing the bodies of champion pole dancers! As for your space, I only have about 1.2 metres around my pole. 🙁 It sucks! But it's workable. The more space you have, the better obviously. I think 2.3m each side is plenty! 😀

i agree with georgiamarie.. that's a great idea to try to get your mom to go to a pole-dance class with you! then if she changes her mind about it, that might help to persuade your father too. Or show him the more athletic-styled videos.. there are many on youtube as well. I've noticed that the majority of polers from the Netherlands are especially fitness-oriented. And of course once you get it, you can dance however you wish. 😂 Just to be clear- as i've said in another post, i'm not for lying to parents or trying to persuade them that pole-dancing isn't sexy (and this isnt considered lying anyway), but when it's a matter of getting a pole or not, you gotta do whatever works!!! 😀 good luck & let us know what you do! 🥂

Thanks alot you two! I had a discussion with m parents, and I probably gonna get a x.pole! But the only problem: I probably have to install the pole in my brothers bedroom because he hasn't this wood boarding like I do. But he's a fan of pole dancing too, so I hope this isn't going to be a problem. Now I wonder if I should get the chrome or the titanium gold. Because I've got really sweaty hands, and I wonder if the titanium can realy give me the grip I need to do the moves on the pole! And I wonder how long it wil take till I get my pole... Awww, I'm really excited! I really can't wait to dance around the pole and learn that crazy stuff you guys do!
