I can totally relate MissPriss! I was WAY too scared to try pole dancing at first and I had wanted to try it with my best friend cause well, she's my best friend and I know she doesn't care how silly or whatever I look. Unfortunately for me, she lives in a total different city 8ish hours away! I told myself "It's now or never!" and went solo to a dance studio and took lessons. I met a lot of ladies all shapes and sizes and ethnicities. All the instructors were very encouraging and never once did they judge. They always wanted you to do your best, even if your best is alittle sloppy lol. I had a lot of fun and I built a lot of confidence and self acceptance since I started poling. Hopefully you will have the courage to do pole dancing at that studio right around the corner.
Welcome and happy poling!

MissPriss, WELCOME and I also hope you try the studio. I went to an intro class about 4 years ago alone. A friend was supposed to go but didn't show up. I was disappointed, but glad I went. I got "hooked" immediately then the studio closed down. I tried various ones in neighboring towns and ended up finding one that was 2 1/2 drive one way. I could only go once in a great while and missed having a studio close by. One of the things that saved me was finding this site and veena's lessons. A studio recently opened in my town and I am so excited. That you have a studio so close is great, many don't have the opportunity. Keep us posted 🙂
I may be on the small side, but I started at 52 so have to work a lot harder, but each accomplishment is worth it.

Hi MissPriss! All I can say is: Go for it!! It’ll be the best decision you ever made.
I’ve only been poling for three months but it’s already done so much for my confidence and self image, I can’t even begin to tell you. It’ll do exactly the same for you too, I’m sure of it. I shared a lot of your insecurities – at 5’3″ and 143lb I felt really self conscious going to my first class, but girls there were every shape and size you can imagine, and do you know what? Every one of them looked damn sexy swinging around those poles! If its any incentive, I’ve actually lost 10lb since then, just through poling and having the will to look after myself a little more, which I would never have done if I hadn’t gone to that class.
Get yourself along to that intro class this week and I guarantee you’ll never look back. Let us know how it goes!
