My Bday is in Sept. too Roxy!! I’ll be 32. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I thought for sure I would see all these really young girls just kicking ass https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif in this sport, but to my surprise I found most of the fabulouse and well known dancers are over 30 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif yes there are great younger dancers too but it was nice to see something really athletic that wasn’t dominated by people barley old enough to drive. LOL I feel stronger younger and healthier than when I was 20.
I have always felt behind the curve in any sport I wanted to do. So seeing women rocking to pole in their 30s and 40s was very exciting to me. I don’t have a background in anything https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif oh I take that back I was a cheerleader in school but it was one of those tiny rural schools so we *say in happy cheer voice* S-U-C-K-E-D. I always got on the team because I could do the splits and a cartwheel. lol I had also taught myself how to figure skate as a child. I got a book from the library and my dad would be kind enough to flood a spot in the farm yard so I could do my thing. I did take lessons in high school, but they put me in with the little kids so it was kinda embarrassing and I quit after a few weeks. I went back to skating in my 20s and taught myself again, this time from the Kristi Yamaguchi book. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif But quit again thinking I’m too old why wast my time?? I had always dreamed of training for some sport as a child….thats ALL I wanted to do, I was a silly kid! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Oh Cali, I just read your post. I’m so sorry this is happening https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I can’t imagine how angry and scared you must feel with your two kids and all. Just hug them extra close tonight! This can only make you stronger in the end. I’m sure there isn’t much we can say to make you feel better but just know we are here for you.*hugs*

Haha Polegirlsonia your too funny. I’ve been thinking for what like a week now and still nothin…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Yes you should make a video that would help. Glitter is right about pushing the hips forward. It should be easier to hold the hold with your heel of your bottom legs on top of the front of your top leg but yes whatever works.
Awww the superman, have you tried it from a shoulder mount? Fleur does it to get into the superman…she doesn’t like doing it my way (the flipping your hips). I find that if you really press with your arms so that you can let go of the pole with your legs for a sec then you can flip easier.

I totally hear ya on this one. My kids are having spring break this week and I got a pathetic practice in yesterday, I was not happy about it, I felt weak, tired and frustrated. I usually do my work outs in the morning during Henry’s nap while the older boys are in school. Don’t be too hard on yourself, just because your daughter and others have learn some moves quickly doesn’t me you will. I have taught some moves to all of my boys and only one of them gets it right away. Everyone learns at their own pace, its also a matter of building up the strength. Now I need to take my own advice I’m about to give, and stop comparing yourself (myself) to others and work on being happy with my personal achievements on the pole. Don’t worry about what others are doing just work on achieving your personal best. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I was just browsing though the forum and was wondering how you all were doing with your resolutions? ???????
I still haven’t managed to pole 4 times a week and haven’t gone back to the weights yet either. I had a really frustrating pole work out yesterday so I think I will do some weights this afternoon. I feel like I’ve hit a plateau as far as moves go…just because I’m lacking a bit in strength. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Pole dance has transformed my body soooo fast after having Henry that I have to remind myself I gave birth only 6 months ago!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif I’ve been taking it slower than I thought I would, or could for that matter. I really only dance 1 or 2 a week. My goal was 4x but I just have been trying to listen to my body and my mind. Give my body the time it needs to rest in between work outs and give my kids the time they need with their mommy. They grow sooooo fast, I’m at a point right now that I don’t want to miss out on making cookies with my kids because I wanted to go pole. Even though it is "technically" part of my job. So I feel my dancing may be suffering a bit because of that but…I try to keep my dancing from interfering with my family time so it can be a hassle, I’ll skip my work out during the day with the intent of doing a night pole and haha that never happens. Oh the juggling act of motherhood. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_jokercolor.gif I HAVE been keeping up with my stretching!! Its nice because its something I can do while I work. Ok well this got a lot longer than I wanted ooops https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif -
Oh wonderful. Please be sure to let us know where we can see it online!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Have you tried Chinese Ear Candles?? I was having problems with me ears recently and I bought the Ear Candles and my ears are great now!!! I was hearing buzzing and what Derm called ‘imaginary’ sounds and the ear candles cleared it right up. Its amazing how they work, I was baffled! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifEar candles….haha I have a really funny picture going on in my head right now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif I know, I know, its a viking, but just pretend its ear candles hehe. Where do you get them?

Welcome!! What are you hoping to do with your pole dancing? This will help you decide on what size to get. If you only plan on poling at home the 45mm is great. BUT if you have the tiniest feeling that you might want to take a pole class, compete or dance in a club then go with the 50mm If you live in the US. 50mm is standard here in America and I think Canada too, but I’m not sure. If you learn on a larger size you can dance on any size pole with no problem, its much more difficult to switch from small to large. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
