I have been pole dancing for 8 years and feel I can do a fair range of tricks but just can’t do chopper. Lots of teachers have given me tips but I still can’t do it. I can’t manage tilt back either but can lift into inverts ?!? Frustrated doesn’t come close to how I feel 😕

love this topic ! I would say I’m not exactly want you would think of straight away as a pole dancer. I’m hyper bendy in some bits and stiff as a board in others, I’m rapidly heading for 45 and am a little over weight. all that said I have been poling for around 7 yrs and LOVE IT. I have little upper body or core strength but am now just about getting my handspring and am pretty comfortable with elbow grip and split grip eyesha’s but can I do inverted V ?? – not a chance. this is a little frustrating when girls can do it easily after just a few weeks !
I love the ongoing challenges pole offers and the working out with inspiring people who you genuinely feel happy for when they get a move and who are equally happy for you a( and sometimes even join in with silly happy dances !! ).

I love this topic and need to find a way to copy it if i can. i work for an organisation which is aimed to empowering women and have often been on training courses with women calling themselves femanist but who seem to have missed the point (IMO). i have argued the point that for me I feel completely enpowered when on a pole and one trainer TOLD me I have been brainwashed by men to beilieve I'm empowered by pole dancing whilst falling for the oldest trick in the book ?!?
i think the bottom line for me is choices – if i can choose my path without oppression – be it stay at home Mum to running the counrty then i have achieved my femanist dream.
