Hi Stephanie! I found this awesome website a couple months ago, myself!!
I am a pole dancer from Toronto as well! I train at downtown Aradia (Queen and Bathust) because they were the only studio around that offers 2 amazing, really true co-ed classes. It creates a really unique environment and both the girls and the boys love it!
I also have a really good friend who is opening the most amazing home-studio you’ve ever seen in my home town of Newmarket.
5 years in pole dancing!!! That’s awesome!!! Its been 8 months for me!
Enjoy the website!

I know of 4 of us guys up here that pole, we are at various levels. I’ll travel half way around the world to do a competition, don’t know about them. i love the west coast.
Does "doubles" mean 2 on a pole at once? Isn’t there a competition for guys on their own? If not I can think of a female partner or 2 that would have fun with that. There are a couple guys online here, but never met them personally.

I train at Aradia downtown (Toronto, Queen and Bathurst) They are the only studio around that offers a boy’s class. Women are welcome in that class, but its very trick centered!
I also train with my friend who is about to re-open her Newmarket studio March 1st called "Spinbuddies". (spinbuddies.com). I can’t speak her praises high enough!! She was my first contact with the pole dancing world: her energy is unstoppable and she is an AMAZINGLY talented instructor. I’d like to invite you to have a class here when the studio is complete.
We have hit lots of poles at night clubs!! We love it! we sometimes get kicked out for doing crazy inversions! Happy birthday!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

My friends and I have been kicked out of more than one club by security when we hit the poles and start doing inversions!!!
And let me tell you… This boy can climb the pole!

Maybe the person who made the comment is just a little jealous that she cannot do some of the really advanced tricks herself… Sport will always grow and evolve, difficulty will keep increasing, and competition will only get stronger.
As a trickster myself, I spend hours a day, several days a week, and countless bruises and sore muscles trying to master new moves or invent the next big move or a complex combination that will seperate me from the rest and make the audience gasp!
I know sensual movement very well, but if I only have 3 minutes or so to show off why I’m a better pole dancer than the rest of my competition, the best body waves, pelvic thrusts, deep crawls and dance in the world are not going to do it!

I love my chest, shoulders, arms and back! oh, and I think I have a pretty nice butt too. (One of the girls in my pole class told me that, and who am I to disagree??) lol

I’ve tried pole tricks on everything. Brass, chrome, titanium, mystery materials at nightclubs, street signs, jungle gyms and even thin trees! My favorite is brass and the skinnier the better.
But all poles can be slippery. things as little as temperature, humidity, where your hands have been etc can all make the same perfect pole sticky one day and slippery the next.
My reccommendation for whatever pole you get is to worry most about how you prep your hands and prep the pole. For example, I will use some really good liquid chalk on my hands and rub the excess up and down the pole til it dries. One of my fellow polers prefers to powder the pole with powdered chalk and rinse the excess off her hands. It could make a difference if your practices are more trick heavy or more spin heavy too.
Either way, figure out what works best for you and your grip and if your paying $100+ for a pole anyway, you really should invest an extra $30 to get the material of choice for the best possible grip! $30 is worth it for something you are going to be training on for years if its a better material for you!

Hey, its Steve from Canada!
How’d the show go? Any vids on this site yet???
-
Hey, I live in Newmarket (Just down hwy 9 from you!)and I train here and in downtown Toronto. Is there any good studios in Orangeville that don’t discriminate against "Y" chromosomes?? lol
Have fun poling! Lots of fun and lots of bruises! Its amazing! -
I will be traveling to New York to see USPDF championships. looking forward to it!
Can’t wait until they finally put together a men’s division!!! >:I
-
Thank you!!! Very cool!I will put something good together for the challenge this week. Men don’t look so good waving their legs and carressing their thighs so I’ll have to think of something more masculine to do while I’m up there for so long.

Pole dancing doesn’t objectify women… it showcases how strong, confident, agile and fit they can be! It is performance and athletisism… and yes, it is ok for women to be sexy and strong at the same time too! I have alot of respect for all the male and female athletes who engage in pole dancing as a sport!
(This from a straight male pole dancer’s point of view)
