Thanks dust bunny! I fully understand the mechanics of a wide sweep, and bringing to the center to speed up. I was a hooper before I was a poler, we dig spinning lol! Maybe I'm not actually sweeping as wide as I feel like I am when in practice. I still have not made video of myself. I know everyone says to do it, but I am so embarassed to look at myself! I know for at least one spin I was trying to push off with the wrong leg.

And, just to put it out there, at the studio its 40mm brass, at home its 50mm chrome. I can get around a few more times on the 40mm, but I really don't like it that thin. Conversely, I wish I had gotten a 45 because the 50 in comparison to the 40 shows where SOME of this would fix itself on a smaller diameter.

My husband said he thought it was a height thing. I'm not SHORT, at 5'5, but I'm not a model either. I haven't gotten around to dancing in platforms either, I go barefoot. My husband said (he tries to help me troubleshoot) "Well, they're starting off up high already" Is that really the difference?

I hate textured ceilings! Mine has those intentional paint brush swirls all over it. Luckily, the room I'm using for the dance studio doesn't have that problem, but I would LOVE to be able to put it up in my much larger living room from time to time…

About the brother getting the girl pregnant, I should add, I love my brother, I love my niece, but if I got pregnant? I'd be shamed and scolded for the rest of my LIFE!

Jeeze she sounds like my mom to a T! I can only say, her problems are her problems. I went though years of counseling to realize that I am NOT responsible for her, her tantrums, her warped view on things, her knowing JUST what triggers me into guilt/feeling responsible so she gets what she wants. If I KNOW she's pushing those buttons, I do what you did, end of conversation, no phone calls, no contact. It does NOT break our relationship. It makes it stronger, and she respects me a lot more. And I have the same thing with siblings also, two brothers, she gives them money, pays their cell phone bills, etc. I've been doing it all myself since teen years, just like you. My little brother got a girl pregnant and he's STILL her golden child. But oh well. It is what it is. I read a story once, about a person saying they couldn't trust lions because they will eat you, can't trust monkeys because they'll steal from you, etc. The writer said that, actually, you CAN trust those animals. You can TRUST that the lion will eat you. You can TRUST that the monkeys WILL steal from you. Trust them to do what they do, and react appropriately. For some reason, that story feels very relateable to the way I have to keep my family at a distance, let them know that I love them, but that I am removing myself from the situation. No reasons, arguments, nothing. It is my life, I have a right to live it. It is not selfish of me to do so. In fact, quite the opposite. As a thriving, whole individual, I benefit those around me. If I am broken up over someone else, I can not help myself, and I can not help them. Best of luck, just keep remembering that you are worthy! Message me if you need to. <3

Greater than 30 Pole Basics. Thats what one woman calls her very successful 40+ hoop dance classes.

I'm sorry that you've had this sort of trauma in your life. You will find your own journey. One thing I thought of: "Pole dance for Jesus". Check it out, maybe that at least help your argument? http://abcnews.go.com/US/hallelujah-christians-pole-dance-jesus-texas/story?id=13194891 Good luck lady <3

I bought a 50, because thats what everyone said was best. I now wish I had known about the smaller options. I don't think I wanna go for the 38s and 40s, I really like 45s.

I've been training for splits for 2+ years now, so I don't know if I'll get much of anywhere, but I would love to split in front of my tree in my new house. Hopefully it won't be still under construction then. I don't even have my pole put up yet 🙁

I don't wear rings, necklaces, bracelets, nothing. I also request that others remove their rings and belts. The men always laugh when I request they remove their belt before trying it out. Same reasons as everyone else. Noisy, pinchy, and scratchability of the pole and the jewelry. Plus, whenever I do finally get to invert, I know how annoying it is to flip upside down and have your pendant smack you in the face. I wear a badge on a necklace at work and often forget it and flip upsidedown on my exercise ball lol!

Been poling for over a year. No inverts. Nothing close. Still can't do many beginner moves. Learning online isn't working out well for me at all. I hope once I do my studio classes, I can benefit more from Veena. I'm a discouraged poler. I can climb, sit, and on a good day, do a crucifix. Couple of spins, fan kicks, tucks. No inverts. No funny grips. I am furiously frustrated.

Good luck with this situation! Just wanted to say something about the size thing…
While I've never called people "anorexic" or "sickly skinny" I HAVE said things starting with "OMG If I had your body I'd (wear bikinis, rock that mini, etc etc)" I always say it MEANING it as a compliment, basically saying "You've got it going on, if only I could be as bodily blessed" No one has ever told me I hurt their feelings (not that it hasn't happened, I just never KNEW till now that this could bother someone) I guess it would be comparable to people always saying things about my "curves" how I should be wearing this or that. They don't realize one of the curves is in front in the shape of a jelly belly! I know no one wants that hanging out in strings and triangles. <3!
