Listing not having to look “cute” as a plus point for female only gyms grinded my gears to begin with. This is just an opinion piece and I don’t see any evidence of research in her writing. I agree with the above comments regarding her use of the phrase “grinding on the pole”. C’mon, that’s such a cliché! If she’s not into trying pole dance that’s totally cool, different strokes for different folks. But why write an article suggesting there’s any kind of correlation between pole dance classes and rape culture?

Aww, congratulations! I love this site, the support here is awesome; I’m on here more than Facebook 😉

Lots of love Organic, you’re in my prayers. xxx

Zoey, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your sad news and I’ll be keeping you and your family in my prayers. x

I’m self taught, but not through choice. I’d love to get to a class at least once in a while, I imagine it would be hugely beneficial! I’m always concerened I’m not using proper technique and I don’t have anyone around to correct me.

Please don’t feel discouraged. In the past I have been much slimmer than I am right now, but I’ve never felt more proud of my body because I’m so much stronger than I’ve ever been. I have poling to thank for that! It sounds like you have a lot of passion for this, stick with it 🙂

My pole room is multifunctional as even with three bedrooms we are lacking space! It’s actually my kids’ play room which is nice; we get to put on music and dance and act silly! They also like to place small obstacles such as building bricks round the base of the pole for me to avoid when I’m coming out of an invert. Due to this I have become super nimble.
I have carpet too and mainly dance bare foot, but it’s useful to slip heels on for floorwork.

Gaaah! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Not available for me in the UK sadly. I've been dying to watch this!

Every time I invert I get sweaty hands! They’re totally fine the rest of the time and I have good strength in my arms and hands. They just get so slippy when I’m upside down :/ Going to try a grip aid and see if it improves.

Sent you a request hun, Sarah Dewhurst 🙂

[sdewhizzle]

I say do it, I love love LOVE that show! I think writing about your “unusual” hobby will make you stand out, particularly as you also teach. Good luck!

Just last night I dreamt I could do Superman, completely pain free, over and over again. I think I'm on this site too much…

Reenie I added you 🙂 Thought I'd adjusted my privacy settings but I checked and I hadn't… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I have NO pole friends and would love some! My link's not working so;

[sdewhizzle]

I LOVED that! But… how do they grip with trousers on? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

[sdewhizzle]

Thank you very much RoseMay, will check them out 🙂

[sdewhizzle]

Done 🙂 Cool routine! Good luck with your application, I'll be there as a spectator!

[sdewhizzle]

Well you look lovely, I can tell you now I didn’t have a nice neat little bump like yours! I have lots of work to do getting back into shape. I can’t say b/fing has had a huge impact on working out for me, except that maybe I can’t go QUITE as high impact as I’d like because I don’t have the energy!

[sdewhizzle]

Aww thank you! And congrats to you too, your profile pic is stunning.

I'm also breastfeeding my 5 month old 🙂 I can't really help with regards to poling as I'm brand new to it (I only started 2 months ago), but I do suffer aches in my shoulders from hunching over while nursing and definitely feel it more after I've been dancing.
