It took me about 8 months to have a flat split on my good side, and I was not very flexible to begin with. I did not stretch consistently, but I did pole dance almost every day.
-
I wish I could!!!! Im in the US though 🙁
-
Dont do it. If you’re interested in that sort of thing be a stripper, but you can never go back from being webcam girl.
-
Torn hamstring as a few other ladies already said. Mine took about 2 months to heal. Don’t do anything for a week, then resume light exercise is my recommendation.

Whatever obstacles you face, please please don’t give up! Be creative in your approach to any problems and be tenacious and you will make all the progress you want.
-
Awesome! Glad your new pole is working out for you!
-
That DEF looks like brass. Brass is way more expensive so you probably got a good deal, go you!
-
Looks to me like she’ll be fine. Thats a beautiful pole. Looks so sticky!
-
Yes they all say that. That being said, don’t be afraid to grab your pole, pull as hard as you can and let go before getting on it. Also I recommend making sure the pole can handle some fast, heavy spins before doing any inverting.
-
Agreed! Isn’t it amazing how much happiness and confidence pole can bring to your life? Keep up the good work.
-
Okay cool. thank you!
-
Curious what is a windmill?
-
Just be patient and keep working! If you need more support ask us 🙂

Thank you Veena! That video is adorable so creative!

It will go away with practice. I remember the first time my teacher was spotting me while i was in my first butterfly i was screaming and cursing like a two year old. Now i do starfishes (mostly) fearlessly. Don’t rush yourself but keep moving forward, and realize when your fears are unfounded. Even if you fall from a low to the ground butterfly (which you won’t) you’ll be fine.

Whaaaattt tf did I just read? And someone has never heard of stephen retchless or An Dre, two of the baddest male pole dancers EVER always in heels. Not dressing or acting being sexy does not make you immune to the patriarchy. Shall we take Saudi Arabia for example?
-
Pulled a muscle. I give it 4 weeks. You can still pole but try not to invert (hard i know!). You’ll be back before you know it. x
-
Its just going to take practice. Women who look sexy on the pole typically have been pole dancing a long time, or have experience with other things that give the body awareness such as other types of dance or modeling. Keep practicing, don’t give up, and eventually you will find your flow.

I am in VA too. I don’t have any help to offer you (sadly) except to mix dry hands with itac on your palm, and then rub the mixture all over your body contact points and make sure your pole is super clean. That looks SOOOO fun though! Do people look at you weird though when they see you pole outside? Thats the only thing I would be worried about.
-
Ive had the same thing happen in all my apartments. No one ever noticed.
-
Just remember to really be careful though because if it does happen, a shoulder injury takes a long time to recover. I was very aggressive with my body when I was learning but somehow got lucky and was not injured. I would not necessarily recommend that to others.
-
Its been so long I can’t remember…but I do recall a clicking sound in my shoulder from time to time when I was still learning. And tendonitis in my lower arm that cleared up. Your technique is probably wrong. I would suggest taking a break for a day or two, then recording yourself doing the move to see what you are doing wrong. Thats if the pain is annoying but bearable. If its really bad though, I would suggest stopping practice for on your tg deadlift for at least a few weeks, doing other moves (like the twisted grip handspring with less and less momentum and holding the iron x). You can also try the cup grip, but personally I hate this grip. Some people love it and it might be healthier for you.
-
That should not happen. Which shoulder is hurting? The upper arm or the lower arm? Which grip are you using to accomplish your deadlift (cup, twisted, or true)? Are you making sure that you maintain a slight bend in your lower arm?
-
Aww so cutteeee! I wish my mom had been a pole dancer so I could start dancing at 2 years old! Id be a monster by now. This next generation of pole dancers is going to accomplish some insane things.
-
I agree Veena’s program is probably your best bet. Just a reminder no matter what please don’t give up! You are more than capable of a stunning and graceful invert to chopper.
