Pole Buddy in Houston?

Glaminatrix started this discussion · 2/26/2012

I've been poling by myself for awhile and just wondering if anyone else would care to join me for a jam or a regular thing. I've danced in clubs before but don't really enjoy the atmosphere and came to understand that I just like jamming with the other girls anyway. Sooo looking for a new way to jam lol. I'm in the museum district and have my own x-pole and space. Sorry I haven't posted any vids, I will do so as soon as I get brave enough. If wants, we can skype or yahoo to chat first so we can confirm each other is not psycho :)

Hey girl! I would like to join you some time. How are your pole skills? I still have a lot to learn but can do the basics. I find as I grow older my body doesnt want to to do what it used to lol. I work from home so I hardly get out. If you feel like traveling I stay in the Westchase/Alief area on Richmond and Beltway 8. I also have my own Xpole. You can always skype me my id is nguyenins

I'm in the area alot so that would work great. Do you have space for two poles or will we take turns? I can make space for two if I move a thing or two. I'm self employed too, that's neat. I'll be skyping you soon. I am super weak but have a few tricks up my sleeve. My splits suck and I can barely and rarely invert but I still think I rock lol

I'm moving to Houston the first week of April and I'm in desperate need of a pole buddies. I haven't narrowed it down where I'll be living, but "have pole, will travel", lol. Soo excited!!!

Hey, Imin Houston (well, Missouri City but same difference).. not much of a poler, but I would love to buddy with you 😀
nguyenins · 2/29/2012
Awesome! I have space for 1 pole that we can just take turns on. Well we can help each other on our weak spots. I've added you on Skype so just get in touch when u can ;)

Hey girl!! I would love a new pole friend!! I am in the SW side by the beltway and 59. I have had to take a break for about 4 months now..I moved and need to get my pole set up again. I am dying to get back on the pole. Hope to chat soon!
divapolegoddess · 3/28/2012
Great!!! I know that I'll be living around West Houston Medical Center side of town, but I won't know for sure until next week. My arrival date is April 7th and I'm willing to travel to pole. Can't wait!!!
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Good area! Look forward to poling around with you!
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
I'm also in Houston and looking forward to getting my own pole. I'm currently living in the Galleria/Memorial area, but I'll be moving further out towards the Beltway somewhat near the Memorial City Mall this summer. I'll probably get a pole when I move. I love my studio and going to open practice with those girls, but I'm always up for meeting new people and making new friends.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Cool! What studio do you go to?
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
Pole la Teaz. I love it. I'm in level 3 (inverting) every Thursday night. I also go for open pole time on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays when I can, as well as other drop-in classes. The girls (most of them) are wonderfully supportive.
divapolegoddess · 3/28/2012
I'm in the process of purchasing another pole now, so I'll have two. Hopefully we can all get together and practice if we find a big enough space, or we can do an open pole at a studio.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
I'm mostly home schooled. I have taken a few classes. I want to check PLT out. Woo hoo for two poles! I hope to get another one eventually. I have a 45 and want a 50.

HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
If you ever want a "friend" to check out PLT with, I'm there almost all the time. At least three days a week and sometimes more. I've taken almost all their drop-in classes/workshop classes at one point or another. Let me know and I could definitely meet you there. All of Kelly's classes are great. I love her teaching style (and music selection). Jackie was the runner up for Miss Pole Texas and I think she got Miss Technique or Flexibility or something... I don't know. She's all about good form and is great if you need help working up to something. She can break everything down to its most basic strength building parts. Yaz is very energetic and fun too. Although all the instructors are great, I must say that they really have helped me the most. I'm planning on getting a 50mm TG X-Pole. PLT has 16 total 50mm Brass poles (two studio rooms) and one odd chrome "skinny b****" (45mm) pole off to the side in one room. I can't wait to have one at home though. I can't imagine what kind of trouble I'd get myself into. My boyfriend thinks I should find a hobby that doesn't leave me with aches and bruises. Half jokingly, of course. He knows I love it. I just bruise so easily.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Will do! I have been wanting to check them out. I havebeen to te studio and met Jackie, just never took a class. I'm closer to Ego Fitness. I couldn't afford classes until recently..still tryin to watch it..and I have to spend another $50 on my pole to put it back up. I think I am going ot try to go to Verticality ofr Josiah's workshop and pole jam..It's around the middle of April. Look into it and let me know if you want to go. It's be a great time to meet up!
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
I've been to Ego Fitness too. I did their Groupon deal for $1/class. I ended up not using 5 of them (I got 15). I didn't like their style as much. Much more fitness oriented and less dance. I also didn't like that the routines they taught went by steps like in cheerleading (5,6,7, 8, etc). I've been wanting to try Verticality too as I've never been there. I have heard good things from some of the level 6 girls at PLT. I spend way too much money on this stuff. But I love it so much!
divapolegoddess · 3/28/2012
I too spend too much money on pole. Can't wait to try out the Houston studios!
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Haha yeah it's costly no matter what. I don't think I would enjoy it as much if I didn't have mine at home..but I know I am not progressing like I could with classes. I know what you mean about Ego..they group their major pole stuff..so really the classes are like "a taste", and the routines take a while to perfect. Please come to the pole jam atleast it should be fun! My friend said it's a nice studio.
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
Is this the Badazz Pole Jam on Saturday, April 14th from 5 - 7 PM? I don't want to sign up for the wrong one. Plus, you save $5 by registering before the end of the month. Yay for saving money while spending money.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Yep! Yeah I will get mine when I get paid in a couple days.
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
I hope I'm "good enough" to go. I mean, I just started inverting (and not very well) a few weeks ago. Makes me a little nervous. I know by now how supportive the pole community is, but I don't want to feel way way inexperienced for what they're doing.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Oh I understand that! I think he has a flexibility one..I won't take his pole workshop because I haven't poled in 4 months so I wouldn't get much out of it..but I think he does a floor/flex one. I'll double check.
Jessilee · 3/28/2012
Hmmm maybe that was last time..sexy movements looks like it might be ok for all levels.
HyperHorsegirl · 3/28/2012
That's the workshops on Friday, right? Not the jam on Saturday? I'll do whichever one you want to try.
