New to Pole Dancing in Sacramento, CA

MissDevious started this discussion · 3/29/2010

My name is Annalisa and I have recently become facinated with Pole Dancing. I took a class while in Las Vegas and I have decided to buy myself a pole and try and figure out how to use it..... without breaking my neck or looking like an idiot. I am like 40 pounds overweight, so that makes the pole all the more intimidating to me. So I was happy to see a few videos of girls on this site that are not stick thin and actually capable of looking good on a pole. I am considering either purchasing the Xpole or a one from the "Las Vegas Stripper Pole" website. Any suggestions?

Welcome! You'll do just fine; I've seen several ladies that are a little on the bigger side who are beautiful pole dancers. I think most people here will probably tell you to go with X-pole, but as I don't own one, I can't give you a personal recommendation, so I'll let someone else chime in with all the reasons why they love it.

I'd say go with the x pole. I love the chrome finish and the spinny mode and I found it easy to install. 🥂 ☀️ Hey, you don't have to be thin to pole!! I'm a thick chick, and I'm having a blast! You'll get more toned and muscular, and there's nothing wrong with THAT!! Welcome!!!

🥂 Welcome Annalisa!!!Congrats on getting the "pole danc'in" bug!! The pole I use is Platinum Stages.(the removable muti-pc.)I love that I can travel with it and have it on static or spin mode.X-Pole offers the same.Also Platinum Stages has changed the design so that the loading is all at the base instead of the top which I'm not to happy with beacuse they put a chrome plastic sleeve at the base to cover the screw thread and it really gets in the way with some of the moves.So if you do go with Platinum Stages you should see if they still have the original muti-pc. pole available.It seems like Alot of the members here have been very happy with X-pole.The prices are close to the same.If your thinking about doing some serious stuff,these are the best poles for the job!! 👍 Also have you found a studio to take lessons?I drive down to I-Pole in Sac. whenever I can get the time.The owner Lisa Hellmann is a sweetie! 😀 Good luck and I'm looking forward to how it all goes!!X 🌸

Hello and welcome. We have all shapes and sizes here and even a few male pole dancers! My favorite pole is the X pole and I sell them here on the site. 🥂 The new x poles are also bottom loading, which means you don't need to stand on a ladder to set it up. ☀️ http://shopping.studioveena.com/collections/all
