Hi I'm new here too and I live in Birmingham! I've been pole dancing about a year now and get more and more obsessed about it every week! Loving this site 😀

Hello again,do you girls in Hull go to Pole for Fitness by any chance.I do I hav lessons with Emma. Debbie 🙂 Hi Debbie, Yes me and Knickers both go to Pole4Fitness - we have our lessons with Lisa. What level are you on? Are you going to be in the show? -x-
Hiya,I was on level 9,then i left for about 5 months.Have just started again having one to one lessons to see if I can catch up to the rest of my group.Theyre on level 11 now and I'm not doing very well,so im not sure I will do it.No im not in the show,are you two?debbie x
Oh wow you are pretty advanced then?! We are only just on level 3 so not in the show but hopefully will be next year! Are your one on one lessons with Emma? We have booked a private session with Lisa for a couple of weeks time. I like going to the practise sessions too just for a bit of extra pole time! Do you have a pole at home? I am getting one for my Birthday in Nov and can't wait! -x-
Hiya,yes I have a pole at home,but I dont use it that much as its in the living room and there always seems to be someone around.We should be moving soon so I will have more room.Im not that advanced,Im always getting into trouble for doing things wrong.I did go to a practice session when I was about level 3 I spent most of it watching the other girls on really high levels with my mouth wide open in awe.I felt so rubbish that I couldnt think of anything to do.The next time I went I went with a friend,and got much more from the session.Do you practice the studio veena lessons somewhere.I have had a pole made for outside,my husband is going to cement it into my new garden. Pleasure pole made it for me and surprisingly they are on sutton fields.My one to one lessons are with Emma.Debbie x
Hi and welcome!!! Hope you share your progress! 😂
Wow that sounds cool! What pole have you got in your house? Mine will be in my living room too - nowhere else to put it but I don't think that it will stop me using it - my little girl already wants to learn! lol. I know what you mean about the practise sessions - I didn't really know what to practise but got a bit of inspiration in the end lol. I just can't wait to pole at home! I pole at the park at the moment - the only place I know with a firemans pole!! Lol -x-
I know exactly what you mean,my little boy would never come to the park with me to practice,however he does use it at home and were always practising things like splits and handstands together.He has had a lesson at pole 4 fitness with me. My husband managed to go upside down the first time he touched my pole,it took me months,I was not very happy.I have a X-Pole 45mm,but I wish I had got 50MM as it is easier to grip with legs for climbing ect.I will never be confident enough to go in a show,but Im excited for you two that you are working towards it for next year.Debbie x 🤸
I wrote a really long reply earlier at work and then it made me log in again - and it disappeared! Anyways.....what my post said was.....How cute that your little boy practises the splits and handstands with you! How old is he? I was teaching my little girl (she's 6) how to do handstands against the wall yesterday - bless her she was trying so hard but didn't have enough power in her kick to ger her leg onto the wall. She still practising though - never gives up 🙂 Lol @ your hubby going upside down first time, my fiance tried to go upside down at the park last weekend when I was practising some handstands - he said it looked easy - so he had a go and bruised his ribs lol. Now he knows why I'm always black and blue! AND he can start appreciating that it isn't easy this pole dancing lark! 🙂 I think my OH will want to go on my pole when we get it. He says he won't but I showed him Jungle Cat's vids from on here last night and he was impressed! He didn't realise it could be such a masculine thing I don't think! I have tried both the 45mm and 50mm poles at the studio and 45mm is so much better for spins and hand grip isn't it - it's just harder for leg grip! I think I will go for a 50mm when I buy mine, I need more to grip on! The firemans pole at the park is the same as a 45mm so hard to practise climbing moves on. Aww you never know - you might gain a bit more confidence and join us in the show next year?! I don't for 1 minute think I will be really good by then - just a bit better than now I hope! Lol. What sort of things are you learning now at your level? -x-
Hello, my son Luke is 12 now,he was 10 when I started having lessons.I have an older son who is 21,he's not impressed i dont think.I am 41,39 when I started,so I have always been the oldest and probably the slowest learner in class.The 45mm was a must for my spins in the early days,but now I have no preference for hand grip(you get a stronger grip I think), and really struggle with a 45mm for griping with legs.Yesterday Emma said because I had such a long break that we are going back to basics,so she had me go over some spins like walk in back spin and walk in running legs and walk in anchor.Then she had me climb,do the thigh hold then an seated V legs before I could come down.Then she had me try going upside down with my wrong side,still cant do it after a year and a half!! I have some nasty bruises from having a go at a Gemini into a inverted thigh hold ,Im a very polite person,but it hurt that much I wanted to swear.Im not very good at these yet,but hopefully practice will get easier. Before I left we were just starting the shoulder mount and the Iguana,which none of us could do,but apparently the other girls can now.You will probably be doing these better than me soon,but I hate the Gym so will keep trying. Debbie x
Aww your son is a good age to be able to play around on the pole to gain strength! I'm hoping to teach my little girl the basics as it will really help with core strength and she doesn't really have a hobby yet. She loves to sing and dance but we can't afford to put her in a stage school or anything like that just yet 🙁 I think your son is probably about as impressed as my mum! Lol everytime I mention pole dancing she changes the subject, I'm sure she still thinks it is seedy and I'm going to end up working in Fantasy or Purple Door! 🙄 Once I get my pole at home and she sees what it is REALLY about I'm hoping she might change her opinion! We have just learnt the walking back running spin (I'm sure they must have more simple names lol) - a bit like a sunwheel? I really liked that one! We learnt the thigh hold for the first time this week too - omg the PAIN! I can't sit on the pole yet as it hurts sooooooo much! I don't think I'm ever going to do it! We have a lady in our class who I think is in her 40's and she is doing great! That's what I think is so good about poling - it doesn't matter what your age is you can still learn and still do it! It makes no difference if you are 18 or 50 - you all still learn the same way and usually at the same kind of pace 🙂 Tired to get my mum to come......you can imagine her response! Going to buy some new pole shorts tomorrow and I can't wait!! 🙂 -x-
Hello again, your mum sounds like my Aunty,when I told her she just said "forgoodness sake dont tell your Grandma!! Your little girl might like to try gymnastics,after I started teaching luke things on the pole he joined gymnastics at Haltemprice,Im sure some of the little ones are a lot younger than 6. Did you get sum shorts today? Talking of Purple door,I have had a couple of lessons there too,I was getting a bit bored of pole 4 fitness.I had a girl called Jodie teach me,It was a really tall pole on a stage,but it was a spinning pole!She was really good,to say theyre self taught I was impressed.As far as teaching went,there wasnt a warm up or a cool down,but she could put together little routines for me,which was why I went as we didnt really do much of that at p4f. The pain will get less on a seated thigh hold,I hope it will on an Inverted thigh hold,my legs are really sore!! Debbie x
Yeah gymnastics could be a good idea! I think she would quite like that - are the lessons expensive at Haltemprice? Haha if only my Grandad knew that his Birthday money from him this year will be contributing to my pole!! I didn't even know they did lessons at Purple Door? Lisa @ P4F had someone go to her for some lessons from Purple Door and she said she was really quite bad, throwing herself at the pole and stuff lol. How did you find out about lessons there? How much did they charge? I would quite like to try a spinny pole lol. Yeah I got myself some shorts today from Sports Direct in St Stephens. I think they should be short enough for pole - but only Wednesday will tell! 🙂 Can't wait to try them out! Just been looking at your profile pics - did you just take your camera to P4F? Are we allowed to do that? I've never thought of asking but wish I had mine with me all the time lol. Wow I can't even begin to imagine the pain from an inverted thigh hold! Ouch!! I am already dreading the pain that this week will bring!! (Well I am also looking forwards to it - as no pain no gain!). I looked a right sight covered in bruises at the swimming pool today! I bet people think that my OH beats me up! Especially the pole burn on the insides of my arms - how could any normal person bruise there?! Lol -x-
