I’m also a fan of more showgirl style poling! I stopped watching pro videos a few years ago when everything became very formulaic and it was twisted grip, followed by whatever the newest trick was over and over, but they did what they new would get scores you can’t fault them for that!
From what I’m seeing I think on the site everyone (not just me, it’s been a team effort) has done a great job of encouraging all levels and keeping a vibe of enjoying the journey instead of progress, progress or you’re a failure. That make’s me very happy. So far none of the polers but Charley, who started back when I did have commented yet, but from what I see on my FB feed they still get down when there’s lack of progress or if they stop practicing for a bit. I feel the “first generation” of polers still feel if they pole they must also be an X girl, competing or touring otherwise what’s the point. Our friends around us became famous and I think that was very discouraging for some the “first generation”. This is just speculation though.
Shoogstandley, I am traveling but have a stage pole with me, however I don’t find stage poles very inspiring 🙁 I’m hoping to find studios who will allow me to either join in open pole or use their studio space while I’m not home.
Charley, we would love to see you here more! It does feel like everything is a popularity contest when it comes to pro’s and I’ve tried to get them involved here because I think they might find it refreshing to get away from media where only the crazy stuff get’s attention. I’m not sure if it’s me personally they don’t like or if they feel using SV is a waist of time? I’m very much over social media myself, but do to the nature of the site, we have to post regularly. It becomes very draining, because on social media you’re only remembered if you’re doing something new or super challenging ALL…THE…TIME, no one can live up to that!
Polediva, it was so great to have a little time to pole with you, I think beginner can be beautiful!

Welcome back Gylass!!!

Great replies every!! I’m going to repost this half of my first post so those new to the topic can see.
What do YOU guys see in your social media feeds?
Do you feel encouraged or discouraged by what you see?
Have we been too spoiled by the video clip to sit down and enjoy a dance?
How can we get everyone here to help spread the word that pole IS for EVERYONE?

I love to read that so many of you are following others who are at a similar level!!
Who and what do you share?
I also find it interesting that those who are newer to pole seem to follow and look up to each other. Where My friends on fb who started around the same time I did only tend to share the elite, pole star videos.
I’m finding this thread very interesting!

I think sharing progress is great and important.
We’ve tried to get those who create challenges to post about them here but for some reason they have no interest in sharing with us only fb and other media. I see plenty of talk when it comes to the challenges so I would thing the creators would post them here.

I was writing a reply regarding crazy tricks. Ives decided to make it new topic. I’m running out to see my niece perform in a local play then I’ll make my post.

I like to try and put a twist on ‘basic’ pole work, that’s how I come up with many of my new combos. You’ll find several ideas on my profile here and on my Instagram account. My goal when I try to come up with new idea’s isn’t to go for death deifying or crazy flexy, but maybe a new way of entering, exiting or combining moves we are familiar with.

You can’t use the video function with a tablet or phone.

We still have our Chat room here with video too. 🙂

Something that might help would be to practice as if every session is your performance. What I mean by this is when you practice, make sure you’re always fully extending, pointing toes, not rushing though movements. This way it’s second nature to do these things.

Nice! Thanks for the tip 😄

I haven’t been able to make it into chat on Fridays so everyone seems to have stopped using chat here. The chat room is still there and you can see multiple video feeds too, would be nice to see it being used again! 😊
