https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif I had been procrastinating for many years thinking that I was too old to be good at dancing. I did ballet when I was a kid and when I gave it up always regretted it and thought that it was too late to get back into dancing. I have never really done any excercise except for a few years of martial arts which I sucked at. Then I went to see a Amatuer Pole Dancing competition here in Wellington, New Zealand, and it was awesome! There was such a mixture of people doing it at all levels, and I decided that it was worth a go. (I joined the gym first for a month before I got the courage to go to a pole class though!) Now I’m slightly obsessed, I go to two classes a week, a contemporary dance class, the gym, and have even started going for runs around the park! Oh, I am 36, 5.8, not sure what I weigh because I don’t think it matters as long as you feel good. I have been poling for 6 months, am not pear shaped any more and actually have upper body strength (something I’ve never had). I’ve even danced in public at the Cuba Street Carnival in Wellington which was very cool! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif
