I have a pair to the tacky ones and love them to death. I could not grip the pole worth a darn and now with the gloves I have much better grip. Now I am finding that some stuff I am starting to be able to do without them too. I think they are sorta helping to train me….lol

Too akward and not in shape enough for pole dancing?Well I think we are helpin our fellow member with all the encouraging words letting her know that there is nothing wrong with her, her size or her ability. Its just a learning process. Also I think when she wrote that the teachers seemed to be fustrated with her is the reason we jumped on the band wagon that they did do somehting wrong. Even if she wasnt as advanced as the rest or in shape enough I feel that no instructor should just leave an interested person to just watch or do pole ups. I am assuming she paid for these clasess and for her money thats all she got? Now I understand that with a class full of skilled individuals you can't just spend all your time with just one. But please dont just leave her hanging in the wind leave her wanting more and by what was written neither teacher did that. Also if the teacher in question was the current pole star I would be ashamed because I hope that they would remember what it felt like before they got so famous and how their mentor treated them at the begining. I hope my comments are not being taken to heart but I feel so passionately by how she felt. Being a plus size myself starting out I completely feel her pain. I hope all who read this teachers especially just try to keep in mind what you want a new student to leave with after taking your class.

I disagree with no one making you feel a certain way because what someone says to you good or bad you do have a feeling about it and its based on what was told to you. If I'm already uncertain but putting forth an effort and you make me feel worse by not giving me any sort of encoragement but only tell me about the wrong in me. I'm gong to feel bad. People dont realize that words can hurt. The tongue is the most powerful muscle in the body. As a newbie trying something how do I know what to ask for? I want to learn and its the instructors job is to teach me and show me not break me down or point out the fact that I'm out of shape. I know that and thats why I'm here for you to help me I should not have to ask for your help I came to class for it. You may not be that kind of instructor but clearly those she referenced were and you cant fault her for not speaking up. Her confidence level hasnt reached pole perfect yet but in time with good instruction and better support it will and there will be no stopping her.

Too akward and not in shape enough for pole dancing?People should know how to treat people and you should not have to tell them that for them to know it. Those instructors were not sensitive to your needs and rudely didnt seem to care. I'm glad my instructor wasnt like that. In my beginer class I was consider the thick chick because everyone else was much smaller than I. I didnt let that stop me tho. I put on my big girl panties and did what I could and what I couldnt, oh well imma keep it going. I am proud to say that I have been poling for almost 2yrs now. I'm not great by no means but I'm a long way from where I was. My inverts arent great and there are loads of low level spins that I still havent mastered but guess what there are also loads that I can do and I am very proud of that. Dont let them still your joy. If being a pole dancer is your goal then shoot for the moon. Luv what you do and do what you luv. Keep going I am!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks sensualcimitar & Tarapebbles I'm gonna try it all. I'm ready to get my pole on ASAP!

I just created one today out of 2 of the thicker Kinder Mats. I put them on each side of the pole and plan to Velcro them together.

Hi ladies I just got a chrome xpole and I slip very easily. I have gloves which help my hands but not the rest of me. Any suggestions on what I can put on the pole itself?
