Hmm! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I totally saw a bellybutton there! It’s just very flush with her skin, not really any indent.
Also, she is really awesome! I love her style! New favourite added to the list! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Amber, it sucks that people decided to be so nasty when you’re just out having a good time…
However, I’ll bet you could have taken them ALL down in a fight if you felt like it! Bingo wings my ass! I’ll bet it was just the fact that you were a woman with muscle! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I’m sure we’ve all got horrible stories of jackasses (both guys and girls) calling us names or being nasty, but I think the worst thing is if we’re nasty to ourselves. I know I’m my own worst critic, especially seeing all these beautiful, thin, muscular pole dancing women! But I’m trying to get away from that, accept how I look, and just be happy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
*also drooling longingly* I wish I wasn’t a poor student. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
This stuff is beautiful! Do you think they’d ship to Canada? -
Hey Ladies!
Thank you for the advice! I think, Veena, I’ll be trying a little more consciously to set real goals and stuff. It’s just…sometimes I don’t actually know what to do to make a move better! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I know I need more strength, though, so in general, just more dancing is good.
Velvetvixen, I read the website, I showed it to my husband (because that’s a very accurate description of him) and we both agreed that it sort of sounds like me…but it sort of doesn’t. Having depression makes it a little harder for me to pinpoint, I think. I have my "specialty," which I’m going to school for, but all my hobbies are…really all over the place! But thank you for the link! It was a great one to read about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
Empy, the funny thing is…I can do a CKR, but I can’t do a basic invert. I haven’t got the upper body or core strength yet! Or maybe I’m just doing it wrong?? I watch it done ALL THE TIME, and I assume I know how it’s done…I just have a really difficult time with it. Fan legs is the one I’m doing to work up to that one…I suppose I also don’t really have the flexibility (major tight hamstrings) But I’ll get it eventually! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
Anyways, without that, I think doing a crucifix is going to be difficult…or is that the inverted one I’m thinking of? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif I need more brain!
Okay, for the upright one, I can do it…just briefly. I’m working on holding that one, too!
Aaaand…I think I might need a proper definition on the difference between a Layback and a Plank! I was pretty sure I knew what a Layback was…grip with legs, one hand underneath, make body straight? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Also, I do tend to have a bit of an issue coming up from the CKR…lol, I always get so scared I might not make it! Definitely more abs necessary. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif -
They stand for Cross Knee Release, and Cross Ankle Release. Trust me, it took me forever to figure out most of the abbreviations here, too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Hehe, I understand…the performance needs practice! I’ve let my hubby watch once or twice, but generally the dance is much more deliberate and simple, especially since he can’t seem to get the rule "no touching the dancers!" though his head! But that’s okay https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I also showed him my CKR the other day. I don’t think he really understood what kind of breakthrough it was for me, though! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif He said "Oh, that’s cool." But, you know what? Once I make it, and many other things, look good, I’ll probably get much more of a reaction! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I am also very self-conscious about what I do. I have a hard time letting ANYONE watch me! I’m moving soon, and we’re gonna have a spare room for hobbies (and pole!) so that’ll be good! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
Bahaha! I’m sorry, I loved the fact that he got put in his place. Honestly. My roommate said "They wouldn’t know a real woman if she bit ’em in the ass!" And I agree. Not that their girls weren’t real women, but seriously…"Moo"? Was that all they could come up with?
I would have walked right over there and said "Look, if you want to mock, show me what you’ve got. Let’s see it." And see how far they get with doing what you did on the pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
Seriously, though, this is why I have a hard time dancing in front of people. I’m not a "small" girl, in that I jiggle…but you know what? I’m okay doing it on my own, and sharing with the people here! Moar videos from me, because then I can REALLY share! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
You should do it more, like a game. Go and find a bunch of bars with poles, do a tonne of tricks…and if anyone mocks you, tell them to do it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif -
Thanks ladies! Once I get enough courage, I will try them out! And I’ll try to focus on my abs (core strength is not my forte, so I never think of these things!) when attempting the hand/elbow stand! I really want to get that one! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Bonjour! Glad to have another Canadian around! I’m on the west coats (more like, IN the west coast!) so I don’t really speak french…funny how that works, eh? I hope you have a great time here! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
Also, don’t worry about starting a little later. Lots of women here are starting in their 30’s and 40’s, and many of us are of different fitness levels! All in good time, right? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Dont’ stop growing until you’re 25!?!?! I don’t want mine to be any bigger https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif it’s hard enough getting bras as it is! I hope they haven’t got 5 years left of growth!!
I know how your feel, I was a c cup in middle school. Im a dd. I really need to go get a bra fitting, its been over a yr. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Its like as soon as you hit a particular size, the price sky rockets, dont carry your size or there are no fun ones!
I have found fun ones from fruit of the loom, they go up to a dd! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Ahh, ladies, I wish I could fit most DD bras! I’m pretty lucky I have someone who’s been doing bras for years, so she knows exactly what she’s looking for when she finds me bras. Still, I’ll get a bra somewhere else, and they don’t fit me at all. I’m hovering on the edge of E, and once I reach that…I’m screwed! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
Lol, I’m sorry…feel like I kind of threadjacked this one! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh dears! I might also have to do this. I’d like to post more videos! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Poor Amcut!

Thanks ladies! Unfortunately classes (and sharing my love of pole) around here is hard. Most of the people who pole dance and are my age are…well, previous friends that I feel out with. One of them also teaches some of the classes here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Classes are also terribly expensive and not quite my thing for style.
However, I think more sharing here would be good! If I make more videos and put them up, then I can feel a lot more like I’m improving.
Also, the pole journal has helped. Just a little bit…I’m not really good at that kind of thing, never done it before, but I think it’s getting better! I also want my husband to take pictures of me, so I can show you guys and put them up on my profile!
However, if I can get into lessons again…maybe I’ll try it. See how it goes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
You know, I was totally thinking about this, too! I’ve always loved these moves, and once I get to poses like this, I intend to have lots of information on them!
Also, just in general, the Glutes are used for all kinds of things! Including walking. I suspect, also, that the stronger the muscles that you’re using to pull your leg up (minus your arm, of course), the higher your leg can go without interesting hooking of the other leg. It might also be your hip position as you pull the back leg up? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif -
Hehe, Mindy, I like that! 20 minutes turns into an hour when you rebel, instead of saying "I want to pole for an hour!" I think that might work for me, too!
I have noticed (I just did a session this evening) that a lot of it has to do with music. I mean, I have some stuff that fits for certain moods, but it’s hard for me to find things that I want all the time! I’m going to have to go out and peruse the "Pole Music" forum, so I can get some more ideas.
Also, I realized that, often when I feel like I want to pole, I don’t, because there are people around. I think that once I move (the end of april!) I’ll actually have a hobbies room where I can put my pole, and no one else can watch me if I don’t want them to! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gifI’ll have to try your trick, though Mindy! I like it!
