I am 23 YO, and I will turn 24 this October. Yay Libras!
I have been pole dancing on and off since 2009. I took breaks due to pregnancy and recovery. I have started again as of March 2013 and I plan to enter an amateur competition next year.
I got into pole by dancing in a club. I was a broke college student and fresh out of basic training and high school. My tuition was paid for, but I couldn't find a job to work around my classes. I danced for a year and moved to Texas. After getting pregnant with my daughter, I started up again and took classes. I moved, got pregnant again, and now I'm currently taking classes in Indiana.
When I was a dancer, I had a knock out body. Oh, I'm so envious! LOL! After I had my daughter, the baby weight wouldn't come off and pole was what worked for me. Even though I started off by being a dancer, I couldn't help but feel it was personal to me. When I perform, I don't feel myself. I feel as though I am someone else. When the music is on, I transform into a totally different being and I feel as though I'm flying. Nothing else gives me a rush. Nothing else is so intimate, yet so public as pole for me. It's my misunderstood red-headed love child that completely understands me, despite others not comprehending our relationship. In the pole community, I'm free to be who I truly am without being judged and nothing else out there offers that support for me.
I found Studio Veena on Google while trying to find pole studios in my area. I spend about 1-3 hrs per day on here, even if I'm just reading and watching videos.
My name is Phnixx or PhnixxRed, depending on what I'm doing and how I'm feeling. My father is really big into computers and I admire my father a lot. As a little kid, I used to try to sit up and watch him work on computers and learn as much as I could. My father's first email address had phnixx in it. So, as homage I am Phnixx (or PhnixxRed, since my favorite color is red). For me, I came from a background that had nothing to do with pole (rising from nothing/ashes) into an aspiring pole dancer and future competitor. As a result, the name holds lots of value for me.
If there are any other questions, feel free to email me phnixxred@gmail.com 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to tell my story.

I know after 2 kids I don’t feel very sexy at all, especially down in my lady bits. I was a CNA and I’ve seen my fair share of angry vaginas. I would suggest finding that one song that you just can’t resist dancing to, no matter your mood. It will take your mind off of your stressors and allow you to relax. I hope you get over your sexy block soon!

There's soooo many wonderful professionals here! I think I've been occupied reading about how interesting everyone's job is and what they do. I'm a National Guardsman married to an active duty soldier and a mom of 3 (2+1step). My job is 68J, or medical supply specialist. I count bandaids lol.I've been poling on and off since Feb 2009 and I've been enlisted 5 years. My goal is to become a pharmacist (PharmD) but I get sidetracked every time we get stationed elsewhere. I would like to become a pole instructor part time and open up a studio one day. Ahhh the dreams! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

haha indeed! I didn't notice that until I read it a second time. I think internet grammar is so bad that I automatically correct minor errors in my head without even noticing it. Of course, this means I make tons of errors myself now lol.

I know of a few blogs! You can follow me (I warn you, I'm a VERY lewd and perverted onehttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif) and I have a couple of pole blogs that I follow. I also follow some fitness blogs that send along great tips and inspirational messages.

Thanks ladies!! These are the answers I was looking for. Since I didn't lose all of my pregnancy weight with my first (yo-yo effect) and I didn't want to gain more during this pregnancy, I was looking for something to satiate my pole craving without landing me in the emergency room. I've tried baby yoga, and a few other things but I quickly lost interest. I'm pretty good about hydrating and taking breaks as needed so I think things will go pretty well. I just needed a bit of direction and I really appreciate your imput ladies! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I have a 45 a home and the studios I've gone to have had 50mm. I do better when I pole sit on the 50 but gripping the 45 is a clear winner with me. @Cali- I have a TG 45 if you'd like to trade, I kinda would prefer a 50 since it's easier for me to grip with my thighs. We can work out the details later if you do decide that's something you would want to do.

I just have to say that your blog is hilarious and I've bookmarked it! I used to enjoy watching barrel racing as a little girl since I used to horse back ride as a child. I look forward to reading more posts in the future https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Happy birthday!! I can't tell you how much of a positive impact you have been for my pole journey! You are greatly appreciated!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I soooooo want to try this!!!! Maybe glitter AND rhinestones???? Hmmmm….. I’ll get back to you ladies on how that works out

I haven’t had mine done, but pre-pregnancy I was a 38D. Now I’m a 40DD and I wish I were smaller again. Bra shopping is hard, shirts fit funny, and one-size fits most clothing doesn’t apply anywhere near me. I would personally go to a D (I’m begging my husband for a reduction as I type this) but if there’s any way for you to practice wearing a dd (fat suit boobs or etc) please try before you buy. My back hurts often and I dread running even though I’m military. I wish you the best and I hope you find what you like!!!!!!!!

Id say go for it! You’re still a young spring chicken! You’re only as old as you feel and one of my favorite dancers from the club I worked at was 49. I’ve called her a liar numerous times (out of fun, not to be mean)but she is indeed leaning toward middle-aged. She doesn’t look a day over 30 and surely doesn’t move like she’s almost 50! I agree with everyone else and it doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 28. Confidence is what makes you the most attractive and desireable. I wish you well and I can’t wait to hear about your experience!

I’m sorry I don’t have any info about the lil minx, but I will share my xpole experience with you, if you don’t mind. 🙂 I’m not strongest nor the most mechanically inclined woman around (I have issues trying to put together a glider & ottoman set lol) but I found assembling the xpole to be fairly easy. The separate parts help for if you move to a different location w/ taller or shorter ceilings. The smaller, separate pieces also make it easier to disassemble, remove and store it or transport. I’ve been in the same house for almost a year so I have no clue how to take it down when I move soon lol. It was easy up, so it should be easy down. I hope this helps you some! -Xpert 45mm TG

Stevesgirl, I applaud you because had I been in your situation, I probably would've panicked and freaked out because I couldn't figure out what to do. I will DEFINITELY be sending prayers up and good vibes your way. May God bless you and your family and hopefully this too shall pass. Best wishes, dear!!!

I think you’ll do wonderful!!! I wish I could do it but I’m not as gutsy as I used to be lol. Maybe one day… keep us posted!!!

I would just go talk to a few clubs and see who's hiring and where you'd feel the most comfortable. I used to work in a club when I got back from basic training. It was something I'd always wanted to try and I LOOOOOOVED it! Well, I loved to pole haha. Most of the big money comes from table/ lap dances and private dances, but I made decent money from the stage (I was too shy to bully men into lapdances lol). I was a little chunky myself but I toned up and I had a bangin' body. (I was pretty damn hot to toot my own horn !!)The club I worked at made us dance on 3 stages. Typically you had a set of 2-3 songs that were roughly 3+ mins. So on average, we'll say you're dancing for about 20- 30 mins straight every hour. Do that for eight hours a few times a week and it won't be long before you see and feel a difference. Shoot, if I felt comfortable enough with my body now, I'd do it again! I love to perform! Now, I will say to make sure you get some thongs that cover all your lady bits. I'll be a bit blunt to say I have quite a bit down there and a site I ordered from was the pole dancing shop. Their butterfly thongs are thicker, wider and very comfy. I wear them with regular clothes in place of underwear :). I hope I helped! Good luck!!!
