Hi! Is there anyone who would like to practice pole dance through skype? I've kind lost my motivation and dont know what to do, it would be great to have someone to practice with :) Im from Finland.

Hello, That might be something I would consider trying. You may have very different interests than I do however. I am a 58 yr 'young' Grandma who likes pole for fitness and learning new moves. I'm not into the sensual dance aspect of pole but do enjoy ballet and jazz style. I am intermediate level and usually do my workout on Sundays. I live in AZ so the time difference may not work.
YES PLEASE!!!! PM ME!!!! I am also a jazz, ballet, modern, contemporary kind of gal. ;)
Hellcat, I graduated High School in Columbus, GA in 1976. Lived there many years while Dad was stationed on Ft Bragg.

Yes!!! I need the practice. 😉 I'm in Chicago. I can do evenings.

Yes!!! I'm from Switzerland, so same time zone, I believe! I'm free to train on Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays evenings (after 7 pm). Would be so nice to have someone to train with :)

Btw, I'm intermediate, had a lot of back problems, so I need to be careful with inverts and shoulder mounts and I'm not into sexy pole, but I don't mind training with other styles :)
Hi Kellye, I ended up in Columbus because my husband is stationed here. Time zones can be so frustrating, I am on EST time so about 3 hours ahead of AZ and about 7 hours behind Switzerland and Finland. Only an hour ahead of you Yayo. Btw, I appreciate all dance styles so it really doesn't matter to me what my pole buddies preferences are. I am just interested in the accountability and social aspects of training on Skype. I don't have the luxury of a pole community where I live.

This is so exciting! I have this Tuesday available for an hour at 7:30pm CDT. Anyone available this day? :)
Yayo, What are you working on currently? I am hoping to work on more conditioning, flexibility and working mostly on intermediate moves/combos right now. I have gotten some of my advanced moves back but my focus has been transitions and building endurance.
Yayo ·
I'm working on flexibility, floorwork, dance and more acro tricks on the pole. I'm more intermediate to advance. My ceiling are low, 8.5ft so I can't do to many transition at once. Right now I'm not trying to do too many crazy things till after competition mid-July. But I'm open to suggestions. Can always use the practice. :)
Yayo- Sounds good to me. I also have low ceilings so I am limited there but at this point it isn't crucial. I am game for anything. What competition are you competing in?
Yayo ·
Hellcat Competing in the Midwest Pole in 3 week. :O Been working on endurance and strength to help with my routine. So every little practice helps.
Yayo, How exciting. Be sure to post your comp. footage if you can! Sorry somehow I missed your post about Tuesday. It wasn't a good day for me anyway but I am sure we can manage a good time for both of us. I am usually flexible in the evenings just depends on how much school work I have to get done. I typically just need to be done poling by 9:30 so I can wind down and get to bed. I have to be at work by 7:30 on weekdays. I am a night owl and have trouble falling asleep so this schedule doesn't work well for me, but that's life.

Hellcat, Yes, I will! I can't wait. Don't worry about it. I'm sure we can plan another day. For right now, Tuesdays and Thursday are good day until after competition. After that my days will free up a bit more. I teach classes so I can do an hour before or after.
