I have the same problem. But I just ordered a top from Mika Yoga wear and I think that might just work out for me 🙂

[CreativityBySteffie]

Yaaay! But I cant find it?

Ohh I know that feeling! To me, it means process. That I have used my body and made it more flexy.

I stumbled over TaraKarina's channel on youtube and I thought I'd watch her and see what all that fuss was about. (every girl my age in my town, had talked about taing pole lessons)

I showed her channel to my bf and said I was thinking about learning that. A couple of weeks later, a pole arrived. ( guess he thought it was a good idea too;)) Sadly it was a peek-a-boo! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

But he quickly got that returned as he was convinced our lamp, was more sturdy for pole, then that thing. He then gave me and x-pole and my life has never been the same 🙂

When I started a year ago, I'd never done any training before, and I was pretty weak. (couldn't even lift my labtop with one hand) But after two weeks of veenas strenght lessons, I could. It went pretty fast with gaining strenght at the beginning. But it slowed down, because I forgot to hightened the level of defficulty. But when I did, the progress came back. I feel a bit stronger everytime I get back on the pole. 

I think, because poledance quickly becomes a lifestyle for many, that you get a bit surpriced at the results your getting. I know for me, it was not about the body tone. I just wanted to dance poledancing. So when I realized the changes in my body, I realized that Im actually being healthy AND having fun and the same time.

Im in! Cant wait til friday! <3

I just dont care. Simple as that. 

Poledancers often say that they have had conversations with non-polers, trying to convince them , that pole dancing and stripping is not the same. And as true as that may be, I dont even care about that. People are welcome to see me as a stripper I have nothing against that or exotic dancers. Because I love to Pole, and no one can take that away from me. Or you.. 

[CreativityBySteffie]

For me its like this.

First ordered the pole: "Im gonna be so freaking sexy, spinning around that thing!"

The pole is set up: "How hard can this really be?"

First try climbing the pole: "av! Its slippery?!"

But then comes all the good things.. Your first climb, invert etc. And even tough im not there yet, I know that someday I'll be good enough to compete!

Dont hide it from your mom and dad. I dont think you will be able to have a pole without them finding out. Also, it is good to have someone around wen you learn poledance. Just in case..

It sounds like you almost have your familiy on board with it, and then I see no harm in you doing something you seem passionate about. And you will get strong with pole. I couldn't climba three when I was little. Now, I lift my own bodywheigt on my pole without hesitation.

Only thing is, if you are under 18, focus a bit on the art of the poledance and not the more erotic version. I wish I had started when I was a teenager instead of when I was 20. Maybe I'd be really awesome at it by now. 

And dont worry, you dancing poledance, does not mean you are on the same track as your mother. I would know 🙂

Have you tried adobe photoshop? You can download it as a free trial (there wont be anything on the picture indecating its a trial use) Its can be pretty easy. 

To flip an image:

Open the image in photoshop. 

Go to image at the top. Scroll down to Image Rotation and choose how you wish to flip it.

To add a background:

Open the picture you want to use and the background you want to add. 

Go to the background image and right click on the image on the layers path in the left corner.  Choose duplicate layer and in the pop up choose to duplicate it to the icture you want to use,

Then go to the picture and in the top choose layer – layer mask – reveal all.

And you just use a brush and a black color to paint in te background. If you paint wrong, just use a white color to paint it back. 🙂 Hope it can help a bit. Gimp pretty much sucks a..
