    I record my whole session as I still need to desensitise myself to it. I perform much better without the camera on but I need to be able to critique my work and, if I ever want to perform to people, get confident with the pressure. I do tend to do a stint in the end without the camera just to pick up my confidence.

    For my I love pole and, due to my own current feelings about my body, it is more fun/fitness/dance based. But I would hate to think that fellow polers, if I ever got to a point where I did a sexy routine, were calling me trashy!

    It just seems like yet another level of slut shaming that, of all the places in the world, I wouldn’t have imagined a pole dancing website would harbour.

    If you don’t like what you see, don’t look. I totally agree with others, it is just odd for an SO to blame you or judge you for things that another person is doing on a website.

    This should be fun as I don’t have a sub side – it differs move by move BUT this challenge will help me work on my transitions to gracefully change directions on the pole. Plus my OH just put down laminate flooring in my pole room so I should be able to do better floor work.

    I may also do a late October challenge (if I can get my butt in gear).

    Vaxing the carpet can help too (you can rent the carpet shampoo/Hoover thingies).

    I would do that before leaving the property just to finish it off.

    I love the non music challenge!

    How about dancing to a song a loved one (mum, dad, grandparent etc) loves (inspired by Paunobs tribute dance).

    Dancing to a classical piece?

    The reverse grab! I love doing it, it’s one of those moves that just feels right, my body just does it without thinking.

    Hello and welcome!

    I’m not local unfortunately but a lot of people on the forum pole jam. If you have a web cam I am sure there will be lots of people to jam with.

    September 22, 2012 at 2:28 am in reply to: What to call a class for women 30+

    At nearly 28, if your school was advertising that I am nearly the age to attend a “mature” class with 40+ year olds, honestly – I wouldn’t go.

    Please don’t take this the wrong way but If having split ability classes is not an option why is split age? Why not have a invert/expert class and a basic class? As soon as someone fits the class where they can do whatever you feel makes it harder to teach while teaching spins move them up?

    Btw – I loves being in a class of young fit things, they motivate me and I’m sure there are fit 40 year olds that wold run rings around me in a “mature class” that (to a more sensitive person) would depress even more.

    Surely it is for your husband to decline and articulate (if pressed) his reasonings behind it (ie respecting the mutually agreed boundaries of your marriage)?

    I am also in the “no strip club” club for relationships. I too agree that having boobies in the face (other then mine) is not relationship appropriate behaviour, even worse if you are wasting money on it!

    September 1, 2012 at 7:25 am in reply to: Where did you start and where are you now?

    I have been poling for a month and a half (feels so much longer). I came from being a out of shape, overweight ex dancer. I wasn’t able to lift my body weight and was petrified. I’ve had 6 private lessons and two group lessons and I have a pole at home (I got the bug so bad) my videos pretty much show my ability.

    I have a lot to learn and build on strength, finesse and knowledge. I am feeling impatient but I try and take every sessions one at a time and take pleasure in simple improvements (longer in air, further rotation, better automatic placement) but I can’t wait for the day I am looking back and thinking “gosh remember when I couldn’t even climb the pole”.

    Automatically my mind thought “dance 10, looks 3” from “a chorus line”…… I may have to do one to that anyway.

    I use a Boots (beauty store) cheap fragrance free face wipe and a cheap flannel for wipe down.

    For my (super) sweaty hands I use dry hands which is great to stop sweat and doesn't leave residue on my pole.
