Hi Hannah,
I'll for sure follow you!
My handle is http://twitter.com/polecricket
I also use Twitter for work, so this account lets my alter ego play 🙂
Best,
Natasha

Shelly's Pole Studio is awesome (as is Shelly – she won 2nd place at USPDF West Coast): http://www.shellyspolestudio.com/ and classes are reasonably priced. Plus, Shelly has a dance background so teaches really beautiful movement!
The Poletential gals are fabulous too!

Hi Meaganoff! There will more workshops, likely after USPDF Nationals. Maybe in Chicago! We'll see 🙂

The Poletential ladies are FANTASTIC, but if your sister-in-law can't make the drive, she should look into Shelly's Pole Studio: http://www.shellyspolestudio.com/, which is in SF proper.
Shelly won 2nd place at USPDF West Coast and is a spitfire and a really funny, warm instructor. Her classes are very affordable too.

Cirque School in Hollywood occasionally brings out a fellow from San Diego named Steve Gale, who’s the originator of this ingenious contraption: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK5C_mlEXsk
I took a Chinese Pole workshop with him and Timber Brown at the beginning of the month and it was a blast – they’re very good instructors. Steve’s coming back to LA (I believe teaching workshops at Cirque School) on Sept. 18th and will be teaching workshops and privates if anyone’s interested in signing up. You can contact him directly through http://www.facebook.com/steve.gale

Totally agree. Her pole routine was the most complex, innovative, original — and dangerous — I’ve ever seen! Totally hope to meet her and be able to take a workshop with her one day. Maybe it’s high time my fiancĂ© and I took a trip to visit his family….hmmmm….

I was lucky to have met Shelly when we were competing together at the Tri-Pole Challenge a few weeks ago. The woman is a freaking inspiration! I’ve always considered myself one of the older dancers at my studio (I’m almost 35) but after meeting this spitfire bundle of muscle, I think twice about complaining how I ‘only have a few years of pole dancing left.’ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Because hey, maybe I’ll be like Shelly and rockin’ it for another decade!
Have you guys seen her Tri-Pole routine? It’s amazing. She really should have placed.

Hooray Shelly! I voted for you.
I hope you get in, because you’re such an amazing testament to the fact that a 47 year old can be just as sexy, strong and graceful as the young-uns! A fantastic role model https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
Aw man, thanks guys! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_dwarf.gif
(I don’t know what that emoticon is, but it kind of encapsulates my mood at the moment. Happy…and sort of feeling weird and out of sorts, since I’m not really used to winning…)

Whoo hoo! Go Amy and David!!!!

Hi Sarah! It’s Natasha (aka Cricket) – I met you at the studio last year when I was back home (I grew up in Austin but have been living in L.A. for 9 years). It’s nice seeing you on here! Tell the other Natasha pole dancer I say ‘hello’ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif How the poling life back in ATX?

Holy smokes, Avalon! My fiancé is a resident DJ there and I know lots of peeps in management/booking roles there. This is a great venue! Exciting https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

What a fun idea! Would love to find out which studios enter. Keep us posted please!

Haha – thanks Desha https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I can see why having the cut-off at 35 would make sense though, considering most age group ranges for statistics purposes are 18-34, 35-44, 45-54 etc.
-
Thanks Ottersocks! Whee!
And can I just say that none of these ladies are Spinsters by any means! I’m only a few months away from the ‘Spinster’ category (35+) so it pains me to think I’ll be considered a senior in the pole dancing world soon. ha! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
