  • Looking for some pole dance buddies!

    Posted by PoleDancingKAT on June 14, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    I recently bought a lil’ mynx pole and can’t get enough of playing with it… I love what it’s doing to my upper body! Although, I haven’t found much time lately as my two toddlers (or should I say my two loving monsters) have been challenging me lately and have tired me out! I’m in dire need of getting back into learning how to pole dance. I appreciate all of you who post your dance videos. It’s been wonderful to watch as well as a great motivator! I haven’t posted any videos as I don’t feel anything I’ve done on the pole is really worth watching yet.

    I’m looking for a few online beginner pole dance buddies, from this group of course, so we can all share our progress and help motivate each other. For instance, we can set goals and deadlines to learn a particular trick or spin and then post it. We can help each other along the way if we’re having a hard time achieving our goal. Anyone interested?

    Sorry for the confusion…I meant online pole dance buddies. Pole dancing beginners from this group who wouldn’t mind sharing their progress with me.

    Thats a great idea, to find some online buddies. If you have a web cam you can always set a time to meet others in the chat room and pole together with your cams on! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

    Hey PDKat! we’re ALL pole dancing buddies here! practically all the active members here share their progress & successes (as well as our difficulties), and we love learning about others’ progress too! doesn’t really matter who’s a beginner & who isn’t, everyone here does a great job in the motivating department & in helping eachother! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
    What veena said about meeting others in chat & pole jamming sounds like fun too.
    And you should definitely post a vid sometime- there’s no such thing as "not worth watching"! i find that even a short vid of a sexy walk around the pole is worth watching!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Sure all active members are sharing their progess. I was hoping to find newbies though, who are at the same stage as I am in pole dancing. I think most members who are more advanced would get bored with a beginner like me.

    You’re absolutely right about a short video of a sexy walk could be worth watching. Therefore, I’ll be working on a short video soon on "transitions" between 2-3 basic spins I learned at S Factor. So if any newbie is interested in joining me please let me know. I love Veena’s idea about the chat room with web cam on!

    There are tons of beginner dancers on here, some don’t even have a pole yet! You could go through the new users section of the forum, (a lot of them are beginners) you might see someone you think you’ll get along with…. send them an email https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif We all think its great when beginners post vids, then we can help them and watch them grow! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Hi all I like Veena’s idea of the chat room with using video cams too sounds fun. I am definitely a newbie. I have not posted any video yet either. I agree we would motivate each other…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif sounds fun

    Hi Cream-

    As I mentioned in our prior email conversation. I will be posting my first video soon. I’ll let you know when, so you can check it out. That way we can get started! I hope we can motivate each other!!!

    Yeah I’m just beginning too and haven’t posted a vid yet, but I’m finally getting to the point where I might have the confidence to make one! I hope to have it up in the next few days! And I’d be happy to work together to keep each other motivated and share progress!! Personally all I have down are the pinwheel, fireman, back hook, basic pole sit, and most recently the carousel! I was proud of that one because it required mastering a new grip. What tricks have you learned so far? Which ones are you hoping to conquer soon??

    Im a beginner! I would love to be one of your online pole buddies! Im hoping to get my pole soon. But in the mean time Im working on building up my strength and studying moves as much as possible. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

    Hi London-

    We’re both at about the same level, it looks like. I, too, know the Fireman and the other version called the
    Flirty Fireman, Back hook, Pinwheel Knee, Carousel and the other version called the Carousel Chair Combo and the Chair…these I learned at Sheila Kelley’s S Factor Studio. All these have different names at their studio of course.

    I’m currently working on the Reverse Grab and the Cradle, which I also learned at S Factor but haven’t done it for a while. At this studio I also learned the Split Spin, but I can’t raise my legs high enough (or wide enough). I’m just not strong and flexible enough in that thigh area where it meets the hips. My core stength and flexibility need months of work to reach that level of gracefulness. I guess that is what I would like to achieve this year along with learning the Basic Invert so that I can conquer the Crucifix and then the Gemini, Scorpio and Chopper! I hope to post my first video within the next two weeks. I look forward to seeing your first video. I always enjoy to see how others transition from one move to the next.

    Hi Toccara-

    Let me know when you get your pole. You can join Cream, London and I as we share our progress together! Let me know when you post your first video and I will do the same.

    How exciting, just beware Toccara that when you do get your pole you will not be able to stay off of it and you may find yourself hard-pressed to get anything else done!! Haha.

    And KAT that is so cool that you have those moves down, I still can’t figure out the cradle, for some reason I find it hard to support my weight that way even though I can do that grip for other moves. Hmm!

    And I know I still need to work up to being able to invert because that’s an intermediate move, but what frustrates me is that on the first day my pole arrived, before I knew about this site and was just messing around on my own, I somehow was able to pull off an invert no problem at all, but ever since then I can’t do it again even when I try my hardest! I’m probably overthinking it and I probably didn’t do it correctly that first time anyway so I’ve put that on hold to wait until I’m properly at that level, but my housemate is able to do it no problem without ever having pole experience before and she even does it the right way, but pulling up slowly instead of just kicking and flinging herself into the air. Oh well, everyone learns at different rates, so I’ll just keep working in my own way!!

    I am still waiting for my pole but I’m watching the Vertical Dance set to get prepared. Once I get my pole I will be posting videos, and looking for tips and constructive criticism. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    Hey fellow newbies
    I’ve just started in the past couple monthes and havn’t posted a video yet either.
    that’s some technology I’ll have to work through!
    love to work with you ladies on cheering each other on.
    currently I have medical tape on my right wrist because I’ve been having such fun with spins this weekend that I broke the skin -but still want to play tonight.
    Wish me luck on the cradle and back grab.
