Well, I currently can't have a pole, or go to any pole dancing classes. But! I've wanted to pole dance ever sense I can remember. What are some tips that I can practice without having a pole? Like, I've been beginning to stretch a lot, but is there anything else I can do while I wait? Thanks in advance!

I think u already are starting out good. Stretching and strength building will probably be good starts. I think the more flexible u are the better your spins. pole poses and inverts turn out. And the strength building will help also when u start ur spins and pole climbing. Lots of places I have read suggest 30 min a day for flexibilty and stretching training. And also hold ur stretches longer like 15 to 20 sec. Good luck with everything.
yes, and if you have extra weight you want to get rid of, i think it really helps get around on the pole. i know i have a few to lose (already did some!), and i heard its MUCH easier on your thighs when you do the hold there lis
thank you for posting this, i am in the same situation, glad to hear feed back from others :]

We love even the pole less girls here. 😉 You could hit the weights, 💪 strength training can give you and extra edge when you start pole dancing.

I definitely agree with Veena about weight training. I just started poling, and I feel like the weight training I have been doing for the last 8+ months has been extremely helpful (the upper body and general strength helps a lot!). Also, I'm not sure why you don't have a pole, or can't take classes... but can you maybe take some gymnastics or dance classes in the meantime? Gymnastics will certainly target both your strength and your flexibility, and dance will help a lot with flexibility and rhythm. Something like yoga might help with strength and flexibility as well. Good luck!
