Guten tag!
Welcome to poling and Studio Veena! You’ll probably find this workout more challenging that PT, I know I do! At 38, I think I’m stronger than I was as a 21 yo soldier. AND it’ll help you get the swish back into your hips that the combat boots seem to destroy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Where exactly are you stationed? I was at Herzo Base in the 210th Field Artillery, (Hoorah!) It closed down soon after I left in 91. It was just outside Herzogenaurach- which isn’t too far from Nurnberg. What a beautiful country! Have you been to Neuschwenstein (spelled wrong I’m sure), the model for Disney’sTInkerbell’s castle? Seeing that, Munich, the summit of the Zuggspitz (spelling again) and going to Amsterdam are my fondest memories of my time there.You’ve found a great place to share your secret. This sight is a wealth of information and support!

DOn’t worry; you’ve got plenty of room! I am so jealous! My bedroom is about 16×18, with a bed, two dressers, bedside table, bookshelf, and 4×4 stage mounted pole.
I open my curtains on big spins! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_jokercolor.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_jokercolor.gif -
It’s hard to act sexy when you don’t feel sexy! I have been getting back in shape for the past nine months using the pole. As I start to like my body more, I like my dancing more. At the beginning, I paid no attention to how I looked and just focused on strength and form. I thought I was doing good until I got a big mirror! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
I went out and bought the sexiest shoes and "stripper outfit" I could find, (that still held up my ladies and covered my baby pooch). That helped about 10000%. When I’m having an unsexy moment, I don’t look in the mirror and try to focus on the movement and music (playing some Janet helps me). Just focus on whatever makes you feel sexy, then you’ll BE sexy! -
Charley, If you can get her here- I’m in!
Lily, didn’t notice the background art until you mentioned it. Interesting!

Amcut- I love you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
You can so kick both their @$$es! I haven’t spoken to either of them for about 2 years. Long story, but basically mom’s husband is an emotionally abusive dry drunk. They see the kids regularly by going through my ex husband (which is funny because he wasn’t even welcome in their house). I hate that they still have an influence on the kids, but the kids love them. What kid wouldn’t enjoy unlimitted junk food, videos and no toothbrushing? Big thanks for the commendation, there are times I wonder if I’m setting my kids up to be ostracized by teaching them to think for themselves and not go along with the herd. They really hate the tofu too!
You’re gonna make a great bad@$$ momma lion protecting her kids! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
Peace. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif -
It’s so hard to raise kids to be open minded when those around you aren’t! My mother intentionally contradicts me because she thinks I’m "ruining" my sons by teaching them what I value. She takes them to Walmart every chance she gets because we don’t shop there (unfair labor practices, slave wages, ungreen, etc). Her husband says racist and homophobnic things in front of them because "they need to know how to protect themselves". They call my spiritual ideas nonsense (atheist zen buddhist), buy them all the crap they think I don’t give them enough of (videos, movies, weapons, sugar, fat) . They threatened to call CPS when I took them to a peace rally (those dang pacifists are so dangerous!). I’ve had run ins with teachers because they’ve (illegally) singled out one of my sons when he’s refused to do things against his beliefs. That same son has been teased and ridiculed because he doesn’t "stay in the closet" with his values. His twin just pretends to agree with everyone, and my oldest refuses to discuss things with people. I just remind my kids that people have all different kinds of ideas and beliefs and they should do whatever they feel comfortable with regardless of others’ opinions. They each handle it their own way. Got kinda rambly, it’s just I get so frustrated becuse there are so many things "the majority" finds unacceptable!

Just remeber that as open minded people, we have to try to be open to understanding the minds that are closed. They’re just scared of things that are different. We should pity them actually because they miss out on so many wonderful things!

Love the newletter!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
Sascha, from what I know of you, you DO NOT want to go into the social work field! I’ve been working in the field for 4 years and I’m looking for a way out. It is such a downer! I’m an emotionally strong person with a great sense of humor, and good coping skills. I loved figuring out what makes people tick, being supportive, the idea of making the world a better place. A couple years of feeling like I can’t really make a difference and I’m burnt out and not liking people so much anymore. Oh, and the pay SUCKS (I made more per hour before I got my degree, as a waitress)! And the professional social work field is shrinking as the funding for non profits is being sucked up by religious organizations and health care is getting more expensive and scarce. It’s hard to be optimistic when reality clearly demonstrates it’s unwarranted. Better to put your talents to use where they can make a difference. I’m looking into comedy, environmentalism and pole dance for a career change.To copy a little Monty Python:
Run, run away! Cynicism and misery await you all!

I work at a cirisis intervention agency and share an office with victim advocates who work with domestic violence. One in particular is a BEOTCH. I find it amusing to see her checking out my bruises and wondering. I should tell her, but this is just too much fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Veena,
Great dance, great news about new stuff on the site(especially more lessons, yeah!), great shout out and thanks to our little community here!!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifI’ve never been one for hanging online, it seemed too anonymous and impersonal. But here I’ve found some amazing awesome ladies (and jungle). I’ve learned so much on the pole (caterpillarred up to 12 feet this week) and off (got an epilator thanx to a recomendation here- OUCH! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif, it gets easier, right?). Where else in the world can you see poledancing and talk about the art of queefing?!
When I’m having a really crappy day (which is quite often lately) I know I can come to SV, you’ve turned me into an internet geek! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif I just wish my work didn’t block my access to Friday chat! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gifAnywho, my point is that SV rocks! I love you, man!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

Sascha,
Sounds like you’re frustrated this dancing gig is harder than you’d expected. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Honey, you are a FABULOUS, natural dancer!!! Your videos ooze sexiness, confidence and personality. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
Obviously, these dances you have to learn aren’t as good as yours! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
Did simple boys do the choreography? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_clown.gif
Maybe if you can put some Sascha into the moves they’ll come easier to you. At the very least, they’ll look better! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Go for it! Kids don’t know the stigma attached to the pole unless they are taught it. Minds close with age! My sons have all seen my pole, it’s a stage mount. Both of my 11 year olds watch me dance and one plays on it. My 16 year old isn’t as interested because he knows what a stripper is.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
But I’ve shown them video (especially cuz I was on the news) and explained the difference. I just let them know that some people may not understand the difference so they may not want to tell everyone. My kids are used to being on the "cutting edge" as we are in the minority in our conservative town as liberal tree hugging buddhist atheists.

Thanks Charley! I know where my paycheck is going! Anyone want to buy a platinum stage?

Thanks for all the support! Amcut, you are so funny! This publicity has given the studio a HUGE boost! Elona open on Memorial Day, and her one night intro classes started filling up as soon as the local papers ran stories. Now that the Metro area media has picked up the story she’s gonna be swamped! She’ll have the money to mirror all the walls in no time! Maybe some uptight religious folk will protest and we’ll get the dropped ceiling removed and have 2 more feet of pole to use! Elona’s thinking of sending flowers to the "it’s immoral" beotch who started all the hoopla with a letter to the editor. I suggested she send her a coupon for a free class as well! The funniest thing is all the worry that people "will get an eyeful" walking by. There’s a gym in the same stripmall, where in the windows you can see girls exercising in tops that should be more supportive. We keep the blinds closed, though I think we should open them up so the authorities can be sure we’re "keeping our clothes on". An extra bonus to all this publicity is I don’t have to figure out a way to explain my pole stage to the uptight mother in law. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

You ladies have inspired me to buy some more songs for the IPOD!
Foxy, Figured You Out by Nickelback (most honest love song ever!) might be a good one for ya. Oh, I see Sascha already has that one. Sascha- how about Animal by Def Leppard? -
SissyBuns,
The only way to end the stigma against pole dancing is to educate people. Perhaps you could show some of your daughter’s friends (the open minded ones) the non sexy side of poling, ie the impressive tricks and gracefullness. I’ve shown those kinds of videos to coworkers and most have stopped blushing when I talk about my pole, though many roll their eyes.

Krystalgem,
Welcome! So you’ve discovered the secret of pole dancing: it ain’t as glamorous and easy as it looks! It involves lots of grunting, sweating, red faces, and falling.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif
Like you, I really struggled when I started poling. I almost gave up many times in the first few months because my progress was so slow and I was not looking sexy at all. Nine months later, I still struggle with my form and style, but I’m able to do a lot of moves. I just recently got the gemini and scorpio. The sexy comes out once you’re comfortably confident with the moves you’re doing.At 5 foot 1, I’ve gone from a snug 14 to a loose 10, but that just happened in the past 3 months. I’m a 38 yo smoking mother of 3 who hasn’t worked out regularly for about 10 years. If I can do this, anyone can. Don’t get me wrong, I worked my butt off (literally!) and had to do a lot of strength training before I could invert. Don’t try to compare your progress to the "pole sevants" who master the pole in a couple months. Compare your progress to where you started. And when you’re having trouble, get silly and just dance around for fun!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gifOh, and repeat this mantra daily:
Bruises are SEXY!
