Hello from Texas!
Hi there, my name is Chelsea, and I am completely new to pole dancing, I don't even have a pole yet D: sad world, yes. I'm 18 and located in Texas close to Galveston! I plan on going to a few classes at a local place that offers pole dancing. If I really like it, I hope to get a pole (maybe the xpole). I wish I could find a group of girls that do pole dancing in my area, but havn't found anything of the sort. I am kind of worried about how my family will take me wanting to pole dance. I only want to do it to feel more confident and become toned and healthier. I am also kind of worried about the notorious pole dancing fails: pole not staying and falling over. Yikes! So, I am happy to join StudioVeena! I love her youtube channel and she has inspired me! If any of you have any tips for a newbie, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

HI, yeah Texas I am in Georgia but grew up in Pearland….You will find a group of people there to pole with there I'm sure. As far as family and poling I used to be like your family, a bit…go to youtube and look for circus aerial acts…you will find that women have been doing this gymnaastics type of movements a long time. Also look at the professional tournaments for pole dancers and of course the fact that it may become a part of the olympics doesn't hurt your argument any. 😉
This is a difficult sport and I think it is a sport. It takes conditioning, strength, and tons of practice and you are not going to graduate to working in a gentleman's club (unless you want to) I have encouraged my 3 daughters to do it and one has already started classes,..
last but not least check the forum and check with other polers on what kind of pole to buy. If you buy too cheap you will end up with "pole FAIL" they have some that you can buy in the novelty stores or online for under $100. Most of these can be dangerous because they aren't really meant for serious hardcore poling. I was tempted because a good pole will cost you. But you can look to buy a second hand one. I personally decided to take a chance on an ebay one that after checking thoroughly I decided I would take a chance on. It turned out to be a static/spinning x-pole from what I can tell. If not its really close AND after using it with different weight girls and the hubby for one swing it seems solid. Pink and other colors are pretty but make sure its a quality pole and that there are no complaints of finish coming off.
so thats my bit of info…congrats on joining the best fun on the internet..Studio Veena.

Hey, thanks! Wow Pearland! that is super close to me xD haha. Too bad you moved. Yeah I think my mom is weary and i havnt told my dad yet; i know he will be skeptical. My boyfriend seems kinda so-so, but i think he knows it will help me get a sexy body 😛 lol! Yeah, Veena told me the Xpole is the way to go! I do want to get one, just need to make sure i will use it first. (gonna take some classes soon!) Yeah, I wouldn't mind having a second hand poles, either. I have checked the forum for some :] lol. I can't wait to start! My best friend said she would do it with me :] yay!
