I agree with everyone and I have the same problem (soooo many good songs I want to dance an amazing routine to) but as Lina Spiralyne says, you can always dance to them twice! I actually really like her idea so that you can compare how your freestyle has evolved as it will be quite clear from the same song being used again! 🙂 I’m going to start going through my list now and come back in a year or so and conquer them again!

Such a cool move!!!

My first class I couldn’t do a pole hold, a spin or the starting point of a climb. Now a year later I’m doing elbow grip ayisha (although I still can’t spell it!) and have started twisted grip handsprings in a level 6 course with my pole studio 🙂 so don’t be discouraged, just keep at it! Also try and not compare yourself to everyone else, as long as u are getting stronger or you’re just having fun, that’s all that matters! Also watch a lot of videos!

U just have to hang in there, ure only 3 days in 🙂 work on the things u can do and you’ll build strength through it and don’t overdo it even though it’s tempting to pole nonstop, listen to your body 🙂 that’s my quick thoughts!

I had the same problem but just left it for about 30 min, when I came back it had uploaded, does seem to take a lot longer than before!

Congrats! So amazing when you get a new pole move! Can't wait until I get to advanced moves such as those! 🙂

I was there too and we were absolutely blown away by this girl, insanely good! Crazy little spider monkey flying around the pole! Obviously there will be objections to this though as she is only 10 but this is no different to horizontal gymnastics, there was no sexy in there so I don’t see why it should be an issue. Imagine what she will be able to do in 5 or 10 years!

I’m from London and do pole through Gymbox but one of the teachers is from LAPHQ which is supposed to be good 🙂

Panache sports bra is the best I've ever tried for my DD-E boobs, http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Underwired-Sports-Black/dp/B005VNFJFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367251442&sr=8-1&keywords=panache+sports+bra. It keeps them in place during all kinds of moves. So wish I had small boobs so that I could pole in a sexy bra or bikini like other girls but these things would pop up during the first spin!

Lillybilly, I so agree with you! My parents are coming for a visit in 2 weeks and I’m dying to show them both my moves!! They’re both on fb so they see everything I post anyway 🙂

I just have to join in on this discussion. Obviously I think your post was great and I too cannot believe the comments your friend is making. She clearly has some issues of her own. It's especially interesting to read as I just 'came out' about my poling on FB this week by posting three pictures of me on the pole. I was actually half expecting some of the same comments you got but I have had nothing but love and support. One of the reasons for this might be that my FB is full of Swedes as I'm originally from Sweden (now living in London) and as a country we are quite a bit more relaxed about nudity and sexuality than a lot of other places. We even dance around a giant polethat looks like a penis with balls for midsummers (google midsommarstang!) so maybe that gives us a natural acceptance of pole! Part of me was actually hoping for some ignorant comments as I am very outspoken and would have loved to bring whoever said anything down a pegg! I'm way too stubborn to have a separate account where pole is permitted though. If people don't like it, they are more than welcome to remove me as a friend.
Don't let it bring you down! Some people are just always going to have opinions we simply cannot understand. Trying to change the mind of someone like that is probably as pointless as trying to argue with a homophobe or a racist. If she is bringing you more grief than joy, perhaps it's better to cut the ties with her? Life's too short to deal with ignorant people!

Haha, yeah I feel like such an idiot now for panicking! But I managed to put the pole up,, it didn't crack the ceiling and it's working!!! Looking forward to a proper pole session today, was too late last night to do much! Woop woop! Thanks again 🙂
