I am soooooooooo excited-anxious! I've got my first class tonight!!!!. I am goinging to be joining a small beginner's group that started 2 weeks ago but she thinks since I've been there for some pole parties and have my own x pole already that I would be able to join right in. I hope so! I don't care, I would pay to start at zero first. I'm already planning which of my 3 shoes I will wear!!! I am super excited!!!!!!!!!! This will be weekly and did I say I'm so excited!

I had a wonderful time. I was with 2 other girls as 2 or so were out for whatever reason and of course the teacher. Again they started I believe 2 weeks ago. We did pinwheel, back hook, fireman, chair, cradle, split v but there was a different name. climbing the pole with a pole sit- I can't remember what way we got off as I didn't wear shorts! We started invert trials. One could already, one did it I think once and I did better than I ever have. I learned I am afraid to committ and I learned by doing with instruction about how to stand, where the momentum is and how to grab. I was able to get my first leg up but then would slide down, mostly with my arm-- an instant ugly bruise followed even before practice was over. I was grateful and didn't think I would get it with out this class. I also asked about the arm thing and was told a lot of what it will/should be will be in my armpit more. With the cradle I was missing the point that you switch hands and lead with the feet- so for the first time it seems a little more possible. When it came time to practice the routine we left out the invert for the 2 of us who were too tired to include it.( for now anyway) I plan to practice at home on the newer ones that I feel I'm newly understanding better and have already looked at the Studio Veena lessons on those to make sure I keep it in my head correctly. Hopefully next week I can do them better with a little at home study guide - lessons ( from here). However I think I am afraid of doing inverts on my xpole at home. I feel safer doing a lot more things on an installed pole. I will buy shorts! I also saw that size is not issue.
