I’m a 34 D/DD depending on bra brand, and ill agree with you that “the girls” get in the way sometimes! I grew up in ballet and gymnastics where having a chest is unacceptable, and when I stopped training after high school they just grew out of nowhere! All was great until I discovered pole and got back to dance. Now I have to wear bras under pretty backless leotards (which causes another issue…back rolls!) And none of the cute pole tops tend to fit me (and I go through a roll of double sided tape every performance). Honestly, even though I’m not as secure with my body image as i use to be, you gotta work with what you got! Maybe decorate or bedazzel some of those plainer tops! Or find someone who sews and have some made 🙂 embrace your body, the more you do . The better you will feel 🙂

My process is similar, pick song, edit song if needed, pick theme, story or emotions to reflect song….then my best ideas come right as I’m falling asleep, or driving! I listen to my songs a lot while driving!

Or if it was lyrical / dane based as opposed to sexy? Thats what I did, if I can find the video ill post it 🙂

@PrincessPeach I did Bloodstream for a show a few years ago, it was a great song to dance to ♡

Hi Karrie! I live in RI, but teach in Bellingham MA. I do silks, lyra and trapeze also in Lincoln RI. I kinda travel around the area a bit taking classes and workshops at all different studios. Theres lots of great places in Boston that you could take some classes and workshops at and meet people from the aera. Super Shag is awesome and they tend to have a lot of guest instructors there (like Marlo!). Theres also Boston Pole Fitness, and DL Fitness in Worcester. Do you have a studio or a practice space set up? I know it's difficult to train alone sometimes I totally need a training buddy too 🙂 I just looked at the map and it seems your not to to far from me. There are a few other people on here that are awesome from MA too, maybe we could have a big MA pole jam!

I usually wear a leotard and leggings. Or a unitard with some fun shorts or a shirt to mix up some colors. I usually bring a long sleeved shirt in case of moves that burn the arms. The fun thing about circus clothes are that youcan layer, mix and match….bah never mind…you dont even have to match! 🙂 good luck!

Agreed with everyone else! Try the lessons, they are geared toward building strength for pole. I find that lots of pull ups, push ups, and pole holds are great for strength. Veena has an awesome core warm up on here that’s awesome for ab work. 🙂

Sounds great! I’m in! 🙂

-

Heres mine!! I needed a stretch, felt good and much needed! 🙂

Congrats to you!!!! That’s a huge accomplishment! ! 😀

Ahhh fun! I’m in! I have some cool bridge pics somewhere in the depths of my phone!

Also try taking an adult ballet class! I danced up through high school, then got back into it as an adult. Its fun and challenging and will transition to pole because of the similarities in the dancey/fluidity side of pole, plus flexibility 🙂

WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Girl you are soooo amazing!!!! I can't seem to nail the Janeiro for the life of me, but I loved your shoulder mount entry into it and can't wait to give that a go as well as all this other awesomess!

Congrats SV team!! I have to say, Veena's lessons are the best out there!!! They are clear and concise and easy to understand. Everything is broken down so well, and MAKES SENSE! I've been to studios even where there is no method to teaching and it is just made up as the instructor goes, usually teaches wrong and or dangerous methods. I love Veena's structure and all the strength building moves for polers instead of just jumping into "Welcome to pole! lets learn the fireman spin!". You have helped me grow as a student and an instructor! 🙂

ahhh tried to film my challenge today and my camera only recorded the first 1 min and 30 sec cause it ran out of memory!!! dammit!! I felt like it was good too!! Boo!! *rant over*

Glitter I think your fab!!!! I’ve been having body issues the past year, and find it hard to accept all the weight I Have gained and can’t seem to loose. I try to see it as look at all the awesome things my body can do! Not so much what it looks like. I had a falling out with my best friend of 15 years because she fed on my insecurity and told people I looked like I didn’t need another meal!! I was so hurt and sad because of this. People say mean things to make themselves feel better because they are insecure. It hurts more to come from friends then strangers. I would say leave the negative people behind and surround yourself with kind people! Like on SV! 🙂

Feeling the cold up here too! 🙁 agree with the hard to get motivated thing, I usually really crank the heat and bundle up and move very slow at first. Once I get going I’m usually fine!
