Practice basic moves and work on strengthening your wrists… like doing push-ups and wrist curls. It def. hurts everywhere when you first start dancing. I was surprised at the muscles I had never used until I poled… I was sore for a day or two.

I am subscribed to her vids too and I am had to pick up my jaw from the floor after seeing that. Super cool DVD and I hope to be able to buy it someday to learn from it.

I really like the idea of her pole dancing being mixed with the chair dancers. It was a super cool performance and I want to see it live!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

Welcome to the group… You’ll have so much fun when your pole comes in. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

Oh girl, don’t think that only we hate our bodies. Men as just exposed to formulas of what their gender is supposed to be as we are. Everything from being told "Don’t cry" as a kid to the choices film producers make to put the "fat guy" in comedic roles whereas the "hunk" gets to be in action movies. I think it comes down to the fact that men don’t vocalize their body rejections. You don’t hear many men go, "Do I look fat in this?" but you KNOW they are asking it in their heads. You know when they see some 6-pack hunk on the cover of Men’s Fitness that they want to look "like that". Why else do they stare at themselves when they are at the gym? I just hope this makes you feel better because I don’t want you to think us gals are alone.
And I loved your letter… I could totally relate to some points. I think I need to make one for my body….

Your body is fighting back because it isn’t used to all the changes. It thinks that you are "starving" yourself and its natural defense is to slow down your metabolism. And so you start flat lining. If you just keep doing all the workouts and eating right your body will eventually "give up" and you’ll start losing weight again. Everyone is different of course but that is the general rule.
For an online diet/healthy lifestyle journal I recommend SparkPeople.com. You can track your nutrition and see down to the last mineral that you ate in a day. It can create a strength training regimen for you or you can just track your workouts. They incorporate a lot of "lifestyle" tips and goals and not just weight loss. The website tries to look at all aspects of a person’s life that contribute to healthy living. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I highly recommend checking out all the fab workout DVDs on NetFlix (if you have it). They have everything from Yoga to Karate to KT Coates Vertical Dance DVDs! And I would also recommend the library.

Somebody please record it and then post it here? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oooooh! I have to remember this! US TV shows come on the next day so it will be on… Friday for me… I think, I hope. Is she going to be dancing and interviewing? I can’t wait! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the group. StudioVeena a great place for info and new friends. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Sorry about the Peek-A-Boo! Are you thinking about replacing it with something else?
We are active duty and residing in Deutschland. A few of my hubby’s coworkers know about my pole; I guess he just couldn’t keep it to himself! And of course with all his PT he can just lift himself no problem and I’m still building my triceps! haha

My moms having a little trouble accepting that she can’t control everything about my life anymore . . I’m sure that she, in the future, will learn to accept my interests.I confessed to my mom about pole dance tonight. Of COURSE she took it the wrong way and there was total silence from her end. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif She told me to not tell her anything about it and not to make a "career" out of it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif Yes m’aam! Hahaha, my mom is just so old-fashioned and I sometimes think it is better not to tell her some stuff. But I don’t want to keep things from her. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Yeah well people who work out too much and eat too little end up being sick. That is just not a healthy thing to do.

I have been tracking my calories for years now so I didn’t want to miss out on tracking pole dancing. Most calorie blogs don’t have pole dancing listed though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif And even if I burn less calories later the fact is that I’m still burning calories and any sort of exercise boosts up your metabolism. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Bwahahaha… the chicas and I used to make fun of that club all the time… just because we drove past it to go to school/lunch all the time. You know that place is so popular they bring people in by the BUS loads?! And of course it is just my luck that I started to get into pole dance once I moved out of RI. *sigh*

Thanks, I hope I can look back in a few months and see my humble beginnings. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Great, just what I was looking for. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I’d say abs and arms are a priority. LOL My pole kicked my butt! I didn’t realize how much you work your arms and abs. I knew it was hard but wow… I’m humbled. I’m not worthy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

No you don’t have to be born into it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Lots and lots of us are new to it too and still teaching our bodies to be flexible. It just takes a lot of time (patience is a virtue) and commitment. And you should check out some of the YouTube pole dancing videos… there are some big sexy mamas (and papas) pole dancing and doing it well. It isn’t a matter of being skinny but how strong you are. So when are you getting your pole? And welcome to the group! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

just a question though: I thought Miss Poledance Australia was Bobbi not Felix?I actually have never seen Bobbi compete in any vids. Felix Cane definitely won Miss PD Australia in 2006 and then in 2008. Felix just won Miss PD World in 2009:

Jamilla Deville. I love the outfit and the video. Like someone said in the comments it reminds me of Closer by NIN.

I have lots of fave clips and vids… oh gosh. I guess I’ll just name some of my fave dancers?
I love the ladies from Australia because they seem to be so smooth in their moves and transitions. So that would be Jamilla Deville, Bobbi, and Felix! And from the States Jenyne Butterfly and Alethea Austin are my faves. And I have like 500 pole dancing subscriptions on YouTube and sometimes watching "amateurs" is just as gratifying and inspirational. "BlyeSkye33" on YT is always posting dancing vids and I just love how much she gets into it. You get that feeling that it is "To pole or die" kind of thing for her.

Thanks for posting this. People always get ahead of themselves and figure that they are way stronger than they really are. Not even in just pole dancing but think about the common and silly mistakes people do all the time while working out at the gym or at work lifting heavy boxes. "Slow and steady wins the race" comes to mind or "In order for your work to be grounded in the Earth it needs to be done consistently for a long period of time with devotion."
