If you are proud of your bruises, you may be a pole dancer.
If you can’t find shorts that are short enough, you may be a pole dancer.
If you spend more time watching women pole dance than the man in your life, you may be a pole dancer.
If you hear a song and immediately rate it for pole compatability, you may be a pole dancer.
If you have spent any amount of time trying to convince someone that pole dancing is different than stripping, you may be a pole dancer.If you find that your closet is slowly (or quickly) filling up with plastic shoes with 6 inch heels and plastic boots that range in height from ankle to thigh=high and previously, the highest heel you ever wore were 1 inch sturdy shoes, you may be a pole dancer.

Roxy, you got it ALL going on, girl! Sexy, smooth dancing, great transitions, super athleticism and a rocking, HOT body! It was such an inspiring vid. Maybe I haven’t seen you dance in a long time, but you really blew me away! A gazillion thumbs up for you!!!!!

I practice my Superman sporadically. Since it’s so frustrating, I don’t spend huge blocks of time on it and while I hope to one day get it, I’m not obsessed with it. So I was practicing it yesterday, and just as I was trying to get my hips to swivel (up and over), I got an enormous cramp in my right bum (the one going up and over)! I was laughing so hard I just dropped off the pole. I hardly ever get muscle cramps (except for when I was pregnant and would wake up screaming from the sudden pain of my calf cramping) so it was kind of surprising. What also bothered me was that the cramp didn’t let go for what seemed like 5 minutes. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Thank you all, ladies, for your suggestions! Most of them I was familiar with (and have jaw-dropping admiration for them all), but hadn’t seen Doris yet. I just tuned in and I immediately subscribed to her youtube channel. Wow. What a lovely dancer! You’re lucky, Doroty, to be able to study with her! I just might have to move to Paris…(I wish!).

Oooooh, how exciting! I’m dying to know how the Hardcore pole is! Please keep us posted.

Sending you lots of love and big warm hugs on your very special day!

I just read your latest post as well as Charley’s. I have to say that I agree with Charley’s viewpoint and completely respect her, but I will add that if SHE were your teacher, then you wouldn’t feel so shut down and you might not be in this situation. I wish all teachers were like her–wanting her students to progress in a safe and supportive way. The studio is not listening to their students, and that will be a problem in the future as well as the present. Having said that, I’m totally with you on liking group exercise–I love the social interaction as well as the energy and camaraderie(sp?). Good luck.

Veena and Chris are truly wonderful, genuinely beautiful people. Happy Birthday, Studio Veena, from my whole heart. It’s an honor to be part of this amazing community.

What a frustrating situation. As a teacher, I totally understand keeping all the students safe, but it sounds more like a control issue than anything! I mean, maybe if they took the time to evaluate you privately & told you they thought you weren’t learning properly…but they’re not even bothering! This reminds me a bit of a very popular national studio who won’t let their students progress until THEY deem them ready. Go with your instincts. It sounds like you made the right choice by leaving.

Wow, that hardcore pole sounds awesome. Just to throw another name in there: PoleDanzer. My teacher had a permanent one in her home studio & one of my bosses bought removable ones for her studio. I really like the pole itself. Unfortunately, the removable ones are mounted on a base that’s probably a bit bigger than 1 square foot (kind of gets in the way) & is about 1 inch in thickness. I despise the base but love the pole. My teacher feels that Robert really understands the mechanics of how a pole is made. Hope this helps a little.

That was the cutest thing ever! You guys, that was soooo awesome! LOVED it!

Happy Birthday! The world would not be the same without your kindness, sweetness and total frankness! You are a tremendous lady and I’m so glad to "know" you!

My husband and I are also major tree hugging liberals. We used to live in South Beach, FL where our son was born. And it is not a town for prudes in any way, shape, or form! The girls there wore bathing suits that were nothing more than dental floss with patches. And a lot of the men wore European Speedos that were quite literally "banana hammocks". A little further north is a lovely nude beach and right in the middle of South Beach is the "Gay Beach" (not derogatory–gay men named this section of the beach). The town was brimming over with sexuality and our son spent the first 3 years of his life there. Then we moved to Las Vegas, aka Sin City–need I say more? I have an Xpole at home, which my son swings around every night before bath time. So you’d think that when the pole studio had an open house party with demonstrations one day, that my husband would be fine with me taking my son there. NOOOOO! Despite his open-mindedness about just about everything, he actually thought it was inappropriate for our son to watch pole dancing because it is intrinsically sexual. I was disappointed but respected his thoughts. It turns out that some of the dances were definitely sexy and I was kind of glad my son wasn’t there–not because I was ashamed or embarrassed, but because I didn’t have to explain things like, why the dancer took off her shirt (she was wearing a bra top underneath). I guess it would all have been fine, but I know there will be plenty of time for him to discover all of that later.

Hmmm, if your left leg wants to automatically cross in front, why now practice a right handed invert (which means the pole is on your right side)? If you are right hand dominant, most will invert with the pole on the right. Right now, in the picture, you are practicing a left handed invert where the pole is on your left.

Happy Birthday, Foxy!

Amcut, if my sexual orientation ever changes, I’m SOOO stealing you away from your hubby!!
Untamedshrew, there’d be a long line waiting for Amcut!

i remember when i used the facebook app for stripper names, they said mine was Blaze Longsizzle https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I love it! That’s so great!!!

YAY! Oh Veena, I’m so glad you found out what is was and how to heal it properly. Both my parents were doctors, all their friends were doctors, my sister is a doctor and I can’t stand the profession! The medical model is so out of touch with actually listening and helping people–it’s like the focus shifted from the patient to the doctor as god. I’m so happy that you’re going to be fine!

Ooooh, Adamseve, I saw Fiya Starter at PoleAPalooza here in Vegas a few months ago. She was INCREDIBLE with a ton of sass and charisma and SKILLS. That is one lady that really knows how to dance and perform!
As for your other teacher that " believes in jumping on the pole and doing it", I’m hoping you mean that figuratively!

Yeah, waiting totally blows. I’m sorry.
OK, so I know this sounds horrible, but really, an STD is kinda part of our culture at this point. I mean, I hope that no one suffers from one, emotionally or physically, but the statistics are really high–something like 1 out of 3 sexually active people have had one or currently have an STD. We learn from our mistakes, we shouldn’t be branded with a scarlet S-T-D on our chests. So IF you have one (which you probably don’t since your last test came up clean, right?), you’ll be alright and you can get treatment. I have HPV, had treatment and had a vaginal delivery home birth with my perfectly healthy son.
Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Holy crap! My goodness that woman is tough as nails! I’m blown away.

Wow, that was so great! I loved the routine. Lots of really difficult tricks and smooth spins. Truly gorgeous. Congratulations! You deserved it!
