That is just awful. I mean even if you can’t do something right now the instructors should tell you where to work to get the move eventually. I’ve told students in the past not to try a certain move or spin, not because I think they are stupid or untalented, but because there are some moves that if you try them without proper strength/flex/form you can injure yourself and I don’t want that. In any case, that is no excuse to treat students badly. Instructors are there to support you, encourage you and help you build the abilities needed to accomplish something. Those idiots are no instructors and they shouldn’t be teaching at all.

Hi Tania
It’s probably your hamstring what’s hurting. Cleo’s video is awesome but it is quite aggressive. I’d suggest you try the flow motion lessons from veena. They work wonders and are softer on your joints.

Hi Aimee. Welcome to StudioVeena. You’ve landed in the most supportive online pole dancing community on earth. I am a at home poler and studio instructor (beginner level of course). All of the poles I use are 45mm chrome xpole xperts, even the one in my living room and I love them. You definitely want to spend money on a good quality pole. Xpole is great for all levels. I’ve heard that the lil minx poles are great too, but I like the fact that you don’t have to drill a hole in the ceiling with the xpole poles.
As tips for beginners, I’d say, start with strength and a little flexibility exercises before trying anything too crazy. Veena’s conditioning lessons are awesome and you will avoid injuries if you do those first. My second tip is, don’t compare yourself to other polers. You are probably going to watch tons of videos where people do some amazing things that look relatively easy but when you get to your pole you may find that those things are not so easy (or maybe you’ll be one of the few lucky ones who can do everything before their 3rd try, who knows right?). But as you have probably read, pole is a journey. I didn’t understand this concept myself until I started walking the path myself. With pole you’ll discover that you can be much stronger than you ever imagined, you’ll see that you are the most graceful woman you have been. You will discover that your body is an amazing miracle that responds to all of your demands as long as you work for them.
My last tip is, enjoy yourself. It’s going to hurt, but enjoy every minute of your journey. You are worth it

I’m very behind in my posts but these are some days I didn’t post here. Happy Holidays to everyone

Yes, it happened to me as well. I had to replace most of my tops because they don’t fit me anymore. When im buying non-workout clothes I feel like the Hulk, but I love it. I mean, finding clothes that fit is kind of a nightmare because i’m really skinny but my arms won’t fit in any non stretch tops but I am very proud of my arms. Strong is sexy 😀

I’m really sorry, I can’t imagine what you are going through. Enjoy her while you have her and show her how much you love her. If there’s anything we can do please tell us. My prayers go to you both

From what I’m reading from all the posts in here I conclude that we are not ashamed of what we do (or we wouldn’t do it) but sometimes people around us can be less understanding than we’d want them to be. I guess it depends also on where you live. There are areas of the world where people are just more open minded. Anyway, this whole thing has made me think about what we ladies are supposed to do or supposed to be in our societies. We are not hurting anybody but some of us still fell the need to be careful about “exposing ourselves” as if it was something bad because some people may not be able to see beyond that. Obviously pole is a very important part of my life, but I’m more than that, we ALL are. I am really glad that a lot of women are proud of their poling, of their bodies and of themselves (besides pole). Way to go ladies! This is why in a past post I stated that you ladies are my heroes, you are strong, confident and powerful. Every woman in this planet should feel like that. I truly respect you 🙂

I normally use either my phone or my iPad. I place them on high chairs, books or yoga blocks (or any combination of those 3 things). I do have a camera with a tripod that can record video but extracting it and posting it is kind of hard so I don’t use it very often. I’d love to buy a video camera for my pole videos but so far the phone camera has to do the job
