awwww congrats!!!! Its good idea to wait until after baby to get started with pole. You can still learn a ton here and we’re happy to have ya. If you have any questions about pregnancy and exercise feel free to shoot me an email. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Sorry I’m behind on posts here…..but that was sooooo cool for you lily! I bet you had a blast. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes, rest easy. The 50mm is pretty much standard size and if you can use a larger pole like the 50mm than moving to a smaller pole is a breeze. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

HOPE YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Sound like a fab place. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif Now go get some rest. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I’m sure you will have a blast pole dancing. Nice to have you with us!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

NO way do you have to start off thin to become a proficient pole dancer! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I have seen many thin girls struggle with strength longer than the curvy some girls, so don’t worry about that. Pole dance is not just about the inverts and tricks anyway. Its about enjoying your body and having a great work out!! As far as no support from family….well my family wasn’t supportive of my pole dance either and look I have a website dedicated to it. So if you need encouragement we are here for ya https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I just ordered the dancer shorts in PURPLE, I can’t wait to try them. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[Veena]

Haha, that would be cool, I don’t really have any ideas at this point though. If I think of anything I’ll let you know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh yes, thats right Angle…I forgot there is an ACE certification for pole dance its a continuing ed class, and when I looked into it it was over in the eastern part of the US!! I don’t know if its still available. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[Veena]

I personally feel that 3000 dollars is pretty expensive for any kind of fitness related certification. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I think if you do a good job teaching word gets around about a studio.

I feel that with your degree in Exercise Science and doing an ACE or AFAA cert would be plenty! A good instructor understands body mechanics and injury prevention, all things you will learn with your current studies. You are an advanced dancer so I don’t know what the benefit of a pole certification would be for you. For ACE personal training and group exercise would be a good start. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’m sure there are other who will disagree with me but, that just my thoughts.

Hello and Welcome!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif You’ll get the hang of gripping the pole.
