Introduction, need some success stories?

Another thing to keep in mind is this: you are a beginner pole dancer, so anything new that you try is going to feel clumsy at first. We've all been there. It's totally fine, and completely normal. Don't let it make you feel discouraged.
Many people decide they want to try pole dancing after watching Youtube videos of Jenyne Butterfly, Felix Cane, Alethea Austin, etc. That's sort of like someone deciding to take beginner gymnastics classes after watching the Olympics, or taking a beginner ballet class after seeing a performance of the Nutcracker. It's important to have pole role models, but it's easy to get caught up in how amazing they are, and how you're not even close. But it's OK. A lot of sweat and hard work goes into getting good at pole, especially if you are not coming from a gymnastics or dance background.
One of the things I really love about Studio Veena is that I regularly get to hear from, and see pictures and videos of regular people, with a wide range of body types and skill levels. It makes me feel a lot better about myself and my own progress.
