I’m in Hollywood (right over the hill from Van Nuys). There’s definitely no shortage of pole studios in L.A.: BeSpun (Hollywood), X-polesitions (North Hollywood), S-Factor (near West Hollyood), Allure (somewhere around here), to name a few. I went to BeSpun briefly, it was great! Good luck with your move, and I think you’ll love it here! Especially the weather https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Thank you Veena for all your hard work creating all these new lessons! They’re so valuable and I love the variety of strength building to advanced tricks and everything in between, including lap dance moves https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I don’t think all the lessons are organized into the different levels yet and I’m not sure if I’ve seen them somewhere or not.
I’ve found the way they’re ordered to be really helpful, the moves build on each other so the more advanced tricks make more sense to me and seem less intimidating. I didn’t see the logic of the order until I worked through several lessons. It’s worked so well for me and I can’t wait to see what’s coming!

That’s so sweet! I loved your dance, especially the shoulder/fan legs move you did at 1:40. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’m excited to have found this website and look forward to being part of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Welcome to SV!! I too love your and Webstwe’s vids, I love the "stripper" style and how gracefully you incorporate it w/ tricks. You both have a unique style of dancing that really comes through. I get a lot of inspiration from you both — thank you so much for sharing!!

I actually have had better luck using Windex. But, I also live in California and haven’t had to deal w/ cold weather making it even more slippery…

Think of it this way, though: if you can do a move on your stainless steel pole, you can do it on anything else.
That’s how I feel about my Lil’ Minx! I prefer learning on it for that reason. I dance at a (bikini) club (brass pole) and feel confident knowing I can handle my tricks even if it’s slippery from girls who wear lotion https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
I’ve had my Lil’ Minx stainless steel for a year and it’s really grown on me. I deal w/ the super slippy-ness by using a little grip aid when I’m working on a new trick and need to stick. Works great. Or when warmed up I dab a little Windex on my hands to stick better. I wipe down frequently w/ windex or alcohol.

Heck no!! I’m 36 in my 2nd yr. poling and plan to continue WAY past 40! What’s great is that poling REALLY tones your body and gets you in shape at any age. While my friends are dealing w/ slowing metabolisms & weight gain, my body looks better than it ever has and I keep getting more fit by the minute! I feel great and I think poling keeps us feeling young! You’re going to love it!

Thank you for posting this! I’m 36 in Hollywood and want to submit an entry! Who cares if I don’t make it, I can still go watch. I’m curious to see other 35+ dancers! Fun!

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I watched the video, it was a beautiful dance. You’re in my thoughts & prayers.

I finally read this post, what a sweet story! Hubby ROCKS!! I don’t know why people would worry about your kids seeing you pole when I think one of the MOST important things you can show your kids is a loving, healthy, & respectful marriage, which sounds like is exactly what you have! Thanks for sharing.

Here’s the link to the map: http://platial.com/mapv/PolePals/685360
Also, go to "Forum", then "Suggestions", the 2nd thread down is "Pole pals", and you may want to read through it, it’s all about people finding each other! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

There is a map available that shows our locations, but not everyone is on it. I don’t remember where/how to pull up the map (I’m at work, don’t have time now), but will find it later and tell where it is! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

If you are going the "self-taught" route, GET Veena’s lessons! Even if you’re going to a studio get them anyway for additional support. I took lessons for a while, then continued teaching myself and suffered repeated painful bruised ribs and pulled muscles from doing tricks before I was physically ready and without knowing the proper way. Now I’ve been using Veena’s lessons for a couple months and am learning the right way to avoid injury, build strength and I nail moves so much quicker! Her lessons are MUCH cheaper than a hospital bill!!! And they are great, very detailed and easy to learn from! Try them out for a month or two at least! She just made a bunch of new, improved ones and now is doing the lapdance series!
