How’s every one doing so far? I took days off while my oldest son was visiting from Vegas. We did some beach time and paddle boarding. I’m planning on getting back to the challenge tomorrow.

Nice! 😊

I’m going to message you privately so we can keep an on going conversation about this.

Ok then I wouldn’t suggest doing this challenge yet, you can always try it later on but for now it’s wise to address the diastasis recti first.
Would you like some guidance on this?

Hi 👋 welcome! If you did not have any abdominal separation, all of the exercise exercises should be OK but listen to your body. If you had abdominal separation, let me know and I’ll provide alternatives.

Hey, hey 👋 welcome

Hello and welcome. 🙂
As a total beginner start with the 30 day take off program. You don’t have to plan anything, I’ve done all the planning for you so all you need to do is start with day one.
If you want to know what is coming the next day, feel free to look ahead so you can plan your schedule. You’ll find the duration at the top of every description so you’ll know how much time is required for that day.

You’re welcome! I’d love to know what pole you decide on.

I have the xpole warmer, and any steamer will do, you can even use an iron on steam. This video explains how to do it.
Every pole if you buy from a quality brand like xpole will last a very long time regardless of finish. I wouldn’t stress over longevity. Brass requires maintenance like this so if you don’t want to polish don’t buy brass.
You ONLY need grip aid if you need grip aid, which you wont know until you start practicing pole. I only need grip aid if I’m dancing in cool temps and if it’s very dry. Like when I use to live in Las Vegas. In Florida I don’t use any grip aid.
Any finish could be affected by ointment, apply the night before pole dancing or far in advance if you’re worried. Anything that is oil based will cause you to slip when applied close to practice. You will have to see how your ointment works with your pole, it’s not something that can be answered right away.
Get a 40 because you’re on the shorter side with smaller hands. I think it would make poling at home more pleasant as the bigger the diameter the longer it can take to develop your grip strength for that size.
Yes, you can go between sizes with no problem. Somethings like I mentioned in the video, stalls, flips, and drop are more comfortable on lager pole but at your size 40 would still be a good fit. If you were taller like me I might suggest a 45. But those skill take years to build up to and most people tend to buy more than one pole if they’re poling long enough.
Thigh gap doesn’t matter.
I wouldn’t stress too much, you can alway re-sell it and buy something else.
Watch the RANTS I shared above, I think it will answer some questions for you and put thing into perspective.

You’re welcome ☺️

Great info, thank you!

Hello and welcome! It’s actually a great question and I’m glad you asked. I hope to see you around 🙂
I have two answers for ya.
- The first is just fact: There are 216 days of training if you start with the 30-day take off program, which is where I prefer new and newish dancers start. Now that’s assuming you don’t miss any days, and you can nail every trick the first time. It also doesn’t include any extra training you might want to do like, dancing in heels program, spinning pole program, and flexibility training, learning floor work and so on.
- The second answer: There’s no timeline for learning. I have designed my programs to allow average folks with busy lives to come and go, or stop and start as needed. This might mean that some students enjoy the beginner level content for years and years because their lives are so busy they stop and start often. I do have plenty of members who enjoy being a dedicated pole dancer and do complete all levels and extra programs. It’s all up the the individual and I’m here to support whichever journey you want to take.
This IG video talks about the difference between a motivated pole dancer and dedicated.
You might find this video interesting as a newer pole dancer too.
