Salut Bella J'ai pris des cours dans un studio de débutant à intermédiaire, puis a commencé à prendre des leçons de Veena en ligne et j'ai beaucoup appris.

I agree with Mikki. Personally though I don't think I was able to climb at 2 months but because you've already done it then it looks like the weather could be the main factor. A lot of people either stick better to the pole in warm weather and others (like me) stick better when the pole is cold.

I was first drawn to the sensual side of pole dancing then I became amazed by the acrobatic side of it. It is something I am so motivated to master completely. I later discovered another plus which is the fitness side. I never really cared about it initially but it keeps me in such good shape and I can pole for hours but can't withstand a gym workout for more than 15 minutes. Also growing up we were not allowed to do any forms of dance or gymnastics which really appealed to me as a child / adolescent / teen. Pole gives me a chance to pursue those things and show myself that it's never too late to get up and make a change in life. Accomplishing this challenge has also given me the guts to set out to reach other goals in different areas of life. To sum it all up I pole for self-expression, fun, fitness and success.

I couldn't do the fireman spin for a few lessons. The teacher had to come up with different ways for me to get my feet off of the ground. Meanwhile a friend who is not a serious poler but just has the electra pole at her house to entertain her boyfriend had a bunch of friends over who climbed it to the top without being on a pole ever. Just keep trying even failed attempts are useful because they are helping to develop the muscles you need to get it done.
Also if you stick with it as you build strength it won't take you as long with new moves further down the line. I was frustrated at first but now I'm glad I got off to a slow start because once I finally accomplished that simple spin from repeatedly trying. It gave me a feeling that I could get any move if I just put the work in. Now when I come across something in the advance stages that I struggle with I know the process of being persistent with it whereas I've seen other people just give up because they've been used to having it so easy.
Another thing I did was search moves I had trouble with on youtube. Some people like Joel Lessing/Poledancefan post their practise of repeated attempts which helped me break down the move and find other ways to get into it or maybe ways to slightly adjust my hands and legs. Forget about everyone else at your classes. We are all unique and when your body is ready you will make your progress 🙂 I have no doubt!

Okay so you are the same as my instructor. I know there are a bunch of Veeners on here who are like that too and will recommend the right pole.

Hi Luv2pole
Welcome to Veena's 🙂
I have a stainless steel PS pole and I find it's good in cold weather. (Everyone is different though my instructor with the same brand and finish needs hers to be warm to stick to it.) This summer when it was very hot I went through a few weeks of no grip and went back to normal when the weather cooled off a bit.

Ooh that was hot! That's what I love about poling it's for everyone. You don't have to start it at age 5 to excel at it and look amazing doing it.
