Yes size 5 in little girls clothes. Size 8/9 in boys clothes. Thank you to everyone who responded so far, I appreciate it.

Save just a lil more & get an xpole or lil minx. When I started out I brought a peekaboo, which fell down often, so then i got a carmen electra pole. Both were horrible. Buying both of those crappy poles cost about the price of an xpole, so I should have just brought an xpole from the beginning, stupid me!

SV is the best for online pole lessons period. No one else compares or comes even close to what is offered here @ SV. Sign up for SV lessons you wont be sorry.

I'm out. 🙁 no splits for me by xmas…I've been in a rut & depression and havent practiced pole let alone stretched in over 2 weeks. Sigh.

I've been poling when my kids are awake, which hasn't been working out too well. My son who is 8 doesn't care or bother me at all, it's my 5 year old daughter who is under foot the whole time and she won't let me be when I am trying to practice AT ALL. And my husband is no help at keeping her entertained or distracted while I pole either, which pisses me off. It's been so bad lately trying to practice with her under foot (along with a lingering pole depression) that I haven't really practiced at home in a couple of months actually (my pole is even put away right now but I plan on putting it back up this weekend).
That's why my 1x a week studio lessons were a lifesaver because I could pole in peace. But now since I have to take another long studio hiatus due to finances, I'm determined to get back into the swing of things at home. My new plan is to pole when the kids go to bed, we'll see how that works.
I think things will be different when we move into a house and I have a designated pole space…right now my pole is smack dab in the middle of the living room, so theres absolutely no quiet, personal space or door to allow me to just let go, relax, feel the music and get into it. I also think once my kids go back to regular school (we homeschool) poling during the afternoons while they are in school might be a nice refreshing option 🙂
I hear other mommies say that nap time and bed time are times they pole or on weekends when their kids are with friends on playdates or with family.

I can talk to large groups of people/give presentations and speeches etc no problem. But dancing or pole dance freestyle or performance FORGET it! I hate the feeling. I've been poling almost 3 years and STILL have yet to do a freestyle in class or performance at a studio showcase. I cop out every time. Some days, I think I'll never be ready to do it. I'd like to, even day dream about performing and people oooing and ahhhing over my performance but when it comes down to it, I'm way too scared! And the few vids that I have posted here it took ALOT and I mean ALOT to get up the courage to shoot them and then post them.
Sorry, I don't have any advice, just wanted you to know you are not alone. 😉

Congrats! That's not easy! It took me almost a year to be strong enough to climb to the ceiling, so you are ahead of the curve! Yay!

My grandfather and I spell talk, been doing it since I was about 8 years old. Basically, it's just spelling outloud and having a conversation with a person by spelling what you want to say to them, really fast. It sounds easy but it really isn't. I've tried doing it with other people and they just don't get it. Also tried to teach my husband and he wasn't getting it at all lol. My grandfather and I are the only ones in the family who can do it and it's something only he and I share 🙂

I've been to/taken classes at about 8 in the LA area. And 1 out of state-Fitness with a twist in Pittsburgh. My plan is to visit a studio everytime I go to another state or town from now on though. I quite enjoy experiencing the different teaching styles and atmospheres in the different cities. I hope to drop in on on a class at Fawnia's studios in Vegas the next time I go! 🙂

Wanted to add that i started out in a studio, then discovered SV. Stopped studio lessons for awhile & solely did SV lessons for about 6 months. Then ended up back in the studio.
Using SV & going to studio class was the combo that worked the best for me.
Now due to financial issues, I wont be able to take studio lessons or SV lessons for awhile, which I am really bummed about 🙁

I have a popcorn ceiling and its ok. I've had my pole about 3 years….A few pieces come down when I have to take my pole down and put it back up (which I only do every couple months or so) but it doesn't really leave damage on the ceiling. There is slight a dome outline/impression in the ceiling but you have to stare to notice it and honestly when it's down a couple of days I don't even notice the area where it was anymore. To a strangers virgin eyes they won't notice anything.

Who would have known this would be such a heated thread, oh my goodness. I'll keep my post simple. My insanely in shape friends (some ACE personal trainers) preach this to me all the time: Cardio (3-4x a week), lowering calorie intake/calorie counting, portion control and limiting and/or eliminating processed sugars & soda.
I am a low carber have been for over 12 years–I eat fruits, veggies, lots of meat and fish but I do my best to limit breads, pastas, sweets, pastries and rices as much as I can. I only allow myself to cheat 1-2x a week (usually on the weekends). It has been effective in keeping my weight where I want it but I too am trying to rid myself of my belly pooch…been fighting it for the last few years beginning to think that it may be a curse of my genetics because no matter what I do it is not going away!!!
