I’ve pole danced in public and most of the time people just ignore me…. I had one guy think it looked like a really hard workout! I’ve never had any trouble, but I haven’t done it that much, I figure if other people can do their workouts there so can I. I’ve also taken by A frame to the beach and done lyra and hammock.

Missy, has a good point! I come from a background as a personal trainer and I was into lifting before I discovered pole! I still lift from time to time, but it’s not been consistent at all over the past 2 years. Pole taps into muscle groups you’re not even aware that you haven’t trained!
I do feel that the most important thing will be to maintain rest days and continue with conditioning the smaller muscle groups, because as mentioned they don’t always get the attention needed when lifting weight alone. I still do conditioning every week and have managed to avoid the common pole dance injuries like tendonitis. Something else to remember and that I’ve found helpful for pole is to stretch out any muscle group you where using while waiting to do your next set. Bare minimum don’t forgo stretching after the lifting session! I actually saw a nice improvement in my flexibility when I would stretch between sets and then after as well!

I’m sorry this happened, and it’s normal to feel bad, but as others mentioned it’s not worth your energy to let her get to you.
I have totally been there! Back before I started SV I was harassed and bullied on my old YT channel by other pole dancers! In fact many of my videos would be flagged so they couldn’t be viewed by everyone, it’s one of the reasons I started a new channel. People can be cruel. That hurt, mostly because I had felt like I had finally found something that fit ME and I could be part of a group. I ended up feeling very alone. That is why it’s so important to me that SV is a place of kindness and support!
Keep doing what you love, you never know who you may inspire by sharing yourself, but only share if you’re prepared to ignore negativity. If I hadn’t been treated so poorly I may not have realized that SV needed to have a focus on kindness, so I’m grateful to them!! Γ°ΕΈβΕΓ°ΕΈβΕ

Honestly a 6 inch heels is more comfy than the sorter heels, if we’re talking stripper heels. I like both brands Phoenix mentioned. Make sure they have an ankle strap too!

Fireman Spin exit! Perfect for those looking to add some flow to their dancing!

Octoberfox, have you read the Veena method teacher training manual? https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter It’s a quick read and it might help you feel better about things! You will also see you’re not alone in feeling this way! In fact I know far too many ex-pole dancers who left or stopped never to start again because they felt behind.
There simply is no level that anyone needs to achieve to be a pole dancer, my goal is to help everyone find the joy in the journey of pole or whatever they enjoy doing. You wouldn’t start a gymnastics class expecting to be in the olympics only 2 yrs into training. I personally feel the pole community (outside SV) puts too much emphasis on high level tricks and fame. I want everyone to understand that pole can be fun and enjoyable at ANY level! Also fame fades away, it’s not possible to continue to stay the “it” girl or guy forever. Enjoy your journey now. xoxo

I agree with the thought of asking if there is an option to have a beginner class, because if someone is going for the first time even a fireman can be too much. It’s also very challenging if you can’t work on flow either, flow and lines are something that any level can focus on. Is there a reason you can’t or don’t work on flow? You might wanna check out my teacher training manual (if you haven’t already) to see if you get any ideas there as well. It’s free btw. https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter

Yay for pole twins π Glad you guys are taking advantage of the program!

We no longer sell poles.

Oh, yes you can re-use the program or re-start anytime you like for as long as you have the lessons.

No problem!

Adding in the 30 day program to what you normally do shouldn’t pose a problem Γ°ΕΈΛΕ

Yes, you can always use the search box to put terms in like shoulder flexibility to find lessons. Also you’ll see that all lessons are grouped together and descriptions mention what the focus will be. These lessons should get you started π
If you haven’t already do these first
For just shoulders try these

HI! I’m wondering if you saw this dance? https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/55e7437a-5548-43e4-a04a-6fe90a9aa0eb You can always see what dances I’ve done by going to my profile here and clicking Videos π
Also my lessons are easy to use regardless of background or fitness level. The 30 day take off program is a best place to start because I tell you exactly what to do for the first 30 days. By the end you’ll have a better understanding of how to arrange your own pole practice and you’ll have build up the necessary strength. I don’t sell single lessons, when you choose which lesson package you’ll have full access to every lesson on here, including programs! I don’t do bundles or anything like that, once you pay you’ve got access to everything π
