Allrighty ladies! Where are everyones’ video responses for the helicopter/chopper/high V? I finally got around to posting a video! It shows most of the tricks I can do so far!

[JBStarryEyedGirl]

Hello ladies! I finally posted a video of my tricks! I’ve officially been taking classes for 2 1/2 months now! And loving every minute! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Class and practice was AWESOME yesterday! I am finally improving on my helicopter, I’m learning some new elbow and armpit holds (ouchie!!!), and my twisted grip behind the back spin are looking FABulous! I talked to one of my instructors about doing an event for when the movie "Burlesque" comes out around Thanksgiving! How fun would it be to go watch the movie with friends and then have a pole jam with cute outfits just for fun? I’m down! If it looks like the event is happening, I will post more info!

Hey Ladies!

Not sure if anyone has heard of "Divine Body Fitness" on Lindbergh, but this morning I received a Living Social Deal (Click link above) for $50 for 6 weeks of beginning pole classes. Just thought I would share! I wonder how many studios in St Louis actually teach pole classes and just don’t really advertise it?

I’ll admit that I am also totally addicted to poling! My boyfriend was ok with the idea of me taking classes (in his mind I am dancing in my underwear with a bunch of other girls apparently lol) but when I started showing him videos of the more advanced moves and brought home a video of me doing tricks he was super impressed! Especially since I’ve been losing some weight, feeling better and am feeling happier. He isn’t happy that I talk about poling with other people, but his hang up that "poling is just like stripping" isn’t MY hang up. I want to educate people about the hard work and effort it takes! I’m pretty sure he would not be happy if I performed in public but if I ever get to the point where i’m that good, we’ll discuss it then!!!

Posted to my fb! Hopefully someone who reads it will be inspired to come to class with me! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

OK girls! Lets take some pics this week of our progress! I have class mon night so I will take some then =)
How often does everyone go to classes? I try to go 3-4 times a week, but my classes are cardio + pole, chairdance + pole, and cardio ballet. I also try to get there early to play, and stay later so I can sometimes get an hour of pole work + a 45 min cardio workout wheew!

I DID it tonight! Gracefully and without jumping or struggling!!! SO excited! The best tip I have is to lean your head back when going up, it really changed my position into inversion easier! I don’t think this move is too advanced, but I’m pretty strong arm wise (I’m a massage therapist https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif so maybe I’m just a tiny bit ahead of the curve https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Here is a video of a helicopter. =)
I’m definitely struggling with this one!

[JBStarryEyedGirl]

I got a pic posted! I’m still working on a side spin into a superman, but it looks decent from this angle lol. I missed class tonight =( So I’m super excited to go to class tomorrow and work it out! My new goals for the month is to master the basic invert, try a scorpio/gemini (not sure what the difference is? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif ) , and begin training to do a shoulder mount. I foresee a lot of ab work! *Groan!*

I recently bought a pair of thigh high pleaser "Electra" boots on http://www.ShoeBuy.com They normally have deal days where they have free shipping. And always google for shoebuy.com online coupons. I got my boots for $42! A steal compared to $75+ on other sites! (That was free shipping and a 20% off online coupon, I used SUMMER so it may still work!)

Oh I’m sore today! I took a cardio ballet class tonight, and wow! I worked parts of my abs I didn’t know could work! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I brought a friend to class and thankfully she was happy to take a few pics of my progress. At least this way I can now track my progress. I’ll have to find my usb cable before I can upload them!

[JBStarryEyedGirl]

I would love to come see an event! I had class earlier and I was feeling really inspired! I have a friend coming to class with me tomorrow so I hope to take some pics to post! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

[JBStarryEyedGirl]

Yeah, I’ve seen her videos on youtube! I would love to take a class at Mynx sometime! Maybe I will take a workshop someday! I saw that they have open pole jam on sundays, but only if you are a student there.. pity cause I would love to drop in! As far as moves, I can do a few simple inverts, I’m working on my strength training for helicopters and elbow hold inverts. I am obsessed with watching youtube videos lol. I also have a few pdfs of moves from verticaldance.com

Hi girls! Do you both take classes here in St Louis? I go to Fitchix on Olive, I’ve only been doing this for 2 months, but I’m totally hooked!
