I love joking, or maybe it's serious that "pole dancing" fitness or hobby/fun is job security. My job in a club years ago is what attracted me in the first place. I teach fitness classes designed to help with pole and as far as pole I teach parties at a local studio. I love exposing new people and I think mostly they think it's pretty cool I get paid to do something so fun and effective. I saw a studio advertise an exotic dance style class and then they made a disclaimer that this class is not for teaching exotic dancers..WTF..get the stick out of your ass! Yes there is a difference, but ultimately it's just technique. I have a day job as well as my teaching job. I am NOT above entering a club to make money if I have to, and I am happy that I will have skills to know wtf I am doing so I'd be able to focus on the hustle and not the pole…but mostly I am happy to teach and learn the fitness side, that's what really excites me and is very empowering. There is nothing like helping a woman discover something sexier about herself while also finding strength.

It's an hour. She breaks it down into sections, and advises you can do the warm up and half one day and the warm up and half the next day, but for max the whole thing..It's kinda like the old buns of steel with intense stretch mixed in..if that makes sence..It's active flex with long holds for the stretching.

Sounds like maybe you need to add some aerobic movement to your conditioning, maybe boxing? Although yes polers have big arms! I think doing some boxing and even some slight resistance moves will help shed some fat and lean out the muscle you are building.

This is the most I have ever paid for a video..I love it! I took her workshop that was stretch/conditioning for pole when she was here, so it's a reminder of that. I'm happy to have the dvd to be able to push myself to do these things more. I think she did a great job on quality and all that as well.

Oh and let me add.. My home pole is a 45, most studios are 50, like yours.

I agree that the answer is both! I am mostly home schooled. I still have a lot to learn. I know schedule and $$ wise I would never be able to take enough classes to truly connect with pole like I have by having my pole at home. Since you have your home pole. Definitly invest in some good home learning options..Jamilla's dvds are great and so are Live Once & of course Veena's lessons. I would still try to get in a studio for workshops, and a couple classes a month. It makes it a better experience to meet fellow polers and learn something different, and not all on your own.

Congrats to the winners! I hope you both progress like crazy! :)..I am proud of all of us that took the time and opened up our hearts. I know it's not something I do often, and it's not easy. Something I would like to share from this..From entering this contest it helped me to take the plunge and enter for my first competition! Today was due day for finding out on both and while I didn't win the lessons I did get accpted into the comp!! Here's to all of our POLE PROGRESSS! 🙂

Everyone advances and can do moves at their own pace. It can definitely be frustrating, but keep trying..and don't be hard on yourself! Confidence is a big part of this and if you don't "feel" the move it will make it harder as well. Definitely try to make regular time for it as well.

I know what you mean Adastra! I hope mine makes sense I was trying to fit it all in! 🙂

I love my clairsonic Mia..I have a body brush attachment that I use with it as well..I love it for my arms and legs especially. So just FYI if you didn't know that the body brush will fit the Mia, it dies..I also use Either Mario Badescu face cleaner, or Derma E cleaner, so you don't have o use special soap, but nothing with anything abrasive. My other beauty product is coconut oil..I use it head to toe..I love it as a deep coditioner or just a small amount instead of silicone stuff left in after I wash my hair. I use it with a little essential oil or plain as a body lotion/oil..I also like to add it to bath water.

@Keex Cleo talked about dancing with the beat and behind it like you mention..Alethea usually does that since her style is more slow and controlled. I like to pic out my favorite parts of the song..and since I do like heavier..doesn't always mean the singing is, or bass playing are super fast. Anyway just about connecting and expressing.
Thanks @Ocusocus! I look forward to connecting and sharing more rock stuff with you all! I have my covers playlist I made last night! 🙂

I love the Rock Out idea!! 🙂

Thanks! Try again..I just realized I hadn't published it ;).. It's just been something I was playing with. I started it as a page to also hopefully gain more interst in pole, instead of making a group. Pole Rockers if the link doesn't work maybe you can find it in search! 🙂
