Thanks for all the welcomes and well wishes. I am really glad to have found this place and to see there are some Limeys hanging around.
With the class I am a bit shy around people especially girls as I just feel awkward and gawky. But I hope they are as friendly and encouraging as you guys, if so I’m sure I’ll find some pals.

Hiya, I just wanted to say that I come from a dance background too but had not got the upper body strength to do much. I am on my sixth lesson now (1-on-1) and am just getting about getting strong enough that I can (almost) dead lift myself and prayer slide down the pole. I think as Veena says everyone is different – I really stuggled with a front hook (my body refused to push my hips forward ending in an unsightly almost chair spin) but I did an attitude on the first try. You just need to keep positive (my teacher is used to the patented “shake out the bad mojo” after a rubbish attempt), laugh when you fail (because sometimes you just look silly) and most of all go crazy bonkers when you do something right (then as my teacher says “now do it again”)!
I think the best thing I did was condition and strengthen outside of my classes even push ups, crunches, lunges etc will help strengthen your body ready for your next class.
I’m sure you can do it and when you do it will feel great!

Hi all, I am really, really new to pole (6 1-on-1 lessons) but love metal and have been using it to practice my floor work to. I have been fortunate enough to be able to have a pole at home (I am so hooked!). Will I be ok submitting a floor/dance only vid?
