My first pole class I was a 20 year old next to a 40 year old and I was super initimidated. She could invert her first day @_@ I don't really think age or weight have anything to do with how pole makes you feel. If it made you feel awesome, then who cares about how someone looks. I'm young, so I can eat whatever I want and have natural flexibility for a while….but in my opinion, that just makes what women who are older than me who can do the same things I can do so much more impressive! Karol Helms has two decades on me and she'd kick my ass in a pole freestyle, no contest! And strength and weight loss come in time to each of us. I've lost about 3 inches of fat everywhere on my body since I started poling. My weight hasn't changed, but I'm happy and feel awesome, and you should too 🙂 Definitely give it another shot, and try to bring a few friends if you feel like you're the odd girl out.

I was under the impression that sm to flag was fonji and then adding the reverse made it “kamikaze”. But whenever I say kamikaze people just stare at me :/

I have some at home for when I make masks. I’ll try it, never thought to put it on hair.
I was trying aspirin as well because fixing it isn’t the issue. I just wanted to know if there was prevention or actingr

I used to dance in thigh highs and never had an issue. they were hot temperature wise, but the club bbeing so cold ironed that out.If I had to pick one pair of boots it would be the calf high pleasers. I have had them in regular pleather and they were comfy…but the heel broke on me after about eight months. I have consideredbuyingthe shiny vinyl calf high ones, but I am finding the quality of pleasers vinyl has gone way down over the years. Ripping in three half hour pole sessions is not acceptable

I pole in a garage in Phoenix. I can only really pole late at night or really early in the mornings in the summer. I haven't had a problem with my ceiling, I have just a standard static x-pole with tension. Just make sure you have a stability board between you and the ceiling. As far as cooling goes, good luck. My garage does NOT have outlets, so no fan. But if you can find one with outlets, a fan should do fine (Assuming you don't have to pole in 117 degree weather like I do). I know girls also use space heaters and do warm up floorwork and cheorography to get their basements warm in the winter, so I assume it's the same for garages.

I would start refering to it around your child as something other than just a pole. For instance, "gymnastics apparatus" since she does gymnastics or, "dancing apparatus". It will get her in the habit of saying it around other people instead of just saying she's a pole dancer, which, while everyone here understands, other individuals might be less accepting.

When I started inverting I tended to bruise the right side of my hip. But that might be because I screwed up from jumping into inverts, aggrivated a rotator cuff, and then told myself I would only invert when I could do aerial inverts…so I only did aerial inverts. And instead of taking my time getting my body around the pole, I just kinda bounced into it.
Do you have veena's lessons? They really help with inverting. The clunky factor probably has something to do with the bruised rib. I just inverted in my garage just to see if my ribs touched and aside from the ones under my boob, it doesn't seem like they should be touching, let alone getting injured to the point of bruising.

Marion amber is through the arm. This is an extended butterfly. 🙂

I would use a cosmetic glitter and mix it in with a medium that you know doesn't react to your skin badly in pole. Or, spray some hair spray on and throw the glitter over it. Thats probably not what she did, but that's what I would do.
I know Victoria's Secret makes glitter body spray.

As a dancer I absolutely hate clothes that look like this:

http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/alakiss_2252_27668224
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/alakiss_2252_69156556
So as a dancer I pretty much hate anything with "half" stockings (stockings that only cover up to the thighs and down to the calfs), bands with hella bling (giant 3 inch diamonds on your clothes are not cute, but I'll avoid using the "G" word unless that's someone's stuff.) And the "cut cloth" thing looks cute in very very small amounts. Right across the boobs to add mystery, and that's about it. And the obnoxiously bright prints that make up 90% of the outfit instead of accenting? Dressing like a colorblind six year old is also not cute. Half of those outfits on that website are banned at my club because we pride ourselves on being a "gentleman's club", not a "strip club". "We sell fantasies, not lip shots" is what my manager says @_@
I like to dress to fantasy, and despite my awkwardness I am always complimented on (1) my pole work (2) my outfit choices. Here's so outfits from Bad Kitty that I have purchased and am ALWAYS complimented on by people I work with who have seen it a million times:

Some things I look for when I am looking for clothes for work:
1.) Is it easy to take off? I won't wear a corset to work unless it is a zip-up in the front or a 5 clasp. The multi-clasp in the back does not work. I don't want to sit on stage for 40+ seconds having people laugh at me for not being able to take my shirt off
2.) Is the outfit completely seperate? I have bought outfits in the past that have had cute parts to them, and not so cute other parts. But they were sewn together. Leaving me unable to mix and match, and thus I would resell the outfits because they weren't versatile enough for me.
3.) Do I already have something like it? I strive to look different. Half the time guys will tell me, "you're not my type, but I loved your outfit so I had to get a dance." If every girl wore what I wore I'd be screwed.
4.) Does it cover everything? Personally, the outside of my personal area is a little large. I've considered getting a reduction surgery because that area is so personal to me. I guess this doesn't matter if you're a nude dancer, but I'm not. So I need underwear to stay put and cover everything without letting anything fall out. There are some boyshorts where this happens, and some thongs where this happens. I've never worn any bottoms that have covered "too much" though.And then there are some outfits that I look for that I have never been able to find.
1.) Cute country girl looking lace that glows something other than white in the black light. I once saw a girl who had a lace top that was kinda like this:
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=63806060
But it glowed pink in the black light. And it had matching shorts. And she wore pink neon cowboy boots. And it looked freaking adorable.
Actually, pretty much anything neon and lace that is well made and not right out of a box I am looking for.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE LEG WARMS THAT ZIPPED UP OR DOWN SO I COULD TAKE THEM OFF WHILE I POLE DANCE IN SHOES.
Seriously. Have a capital market on that. And take all of my money. I would easily pay $30 a pair for leg warmers that I could take off without having to take my 7+ inch shoes off to take off.

3.) Did you know that most guys don't have a foot fetish, but really like leg warmers and stockings for some reason? I'm always looking for outfits to go with my really exotic hoisery.
Alright. That's my essay. Hope it helps.

it’s typically considered a “women’s sport” so when the gender role is switched up its it’s interesting. That, and when you’re a guy people’s first thought isn’t, “oh, you’re a stripper.”

Honestly, if I were ever to approach it, I would approach it through that artical. There are Christian groups all over the place who pole for Jesus. Your church could be the next :>

there are many benefits to pole dancing. Pole dancing does, but is not limited to;
-increasing upper body strength through strength moves
-increasing flexibility through stretching
-stamina from dancing
-self-esteem boosting
-weight loss
-friend making
-learning one or more style of dancing
-being able to be a bad-ass/ninja in public
-pick up tons of hot ladies/guys because of your sport (although this usually only applies to dudes) -
I feel the same way as sassy. I’ve been in studios with smaller mirrors or mirrors with bevels and other obstructions and felt like they hindered my improvement. Depending on the size of your studio, if you have two rooms for two simultaneous classes, one can be cutesy and the other can purely fitness based.
