If the only way to learn pole had been through routines, I would have been done after the first class. I never could follow choreo, even when young. I certainly wouldn’t have been able to teach. I was always the oldest in class when I was a student…even recently, my daughter and I did an intro to aerial hoop and silks and I was the oldest. When I was teaching pole at a studio though, the studio started to attract more than just the younger generation and ladies closer to my own age are the ones I prefer to teach the most. The rewards are so much greater in my opinion.

I just turned 50 this past March. I didn’t find pole dance till just over 40 but I’ve loved it from day 1. I’ve had ups and downs over the last 3 or so years and I’m in injury recovery (non-pole related) and trying to get my weight back down, but I’m still learning and still loving it. I also teach privately and my oldest student is 62. She has come every week for the past 5 years. It’s totally not a waste of time!

Mine is made of 42mm black iron piping…the hole was dug to 5 feet deep and filled in with concrete. The pipe itself was sanded then primered and painted with a Tremclad type paint. Grip is really good on humid days, and the height is just about 18 feet. Due to the height of the pole, we attached 4 guy wires anchored to various points around the house/yard to prevent the excessive swaying. You can see the pole in action here: https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4fc37ff9-8f08-4d1b-8e5d-088f0ac37250

I’m also here…45 and counting. I don’t know how long I’ve been a member here, but I started pole when I was 40…fell in love and still at it!

My favourite is still the half spin-back hook-invert v…I use it a lot.

I didn't start here, but I didn't finish here either. I no longer need the pole or a wall behind me. I'd be happy to help you.

It looks like you do it on one butt cheek, V!
I confess my older daughter showed me this one and she has thew pole placed between her 2 butt cheeks, with skin of both gripping the pole. Perhaps that is why I was doing it wrong, because I was doing it her way…

Sorry for giving the wrong information, Amy…and thanks for correcting me. I have never been able to do this particular move without skin contact…just like I've never been able to manage a proper pole sit or climb with pants on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Try to think of it as your butt cheeks holding you on!

The trick for me was to REALLY lean back from the pole, and actually squeeze the butt cheeks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

It's also known as the Tailpipe…and you need to have lots of bum skin available! 😀

Ah well, story of my life. I would love to order them but they want to charge me $20 to ship them from Bad Kitty and that's ridiculous since the last package I sent to the US only cost me $9.00 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Are these gone?

@ Elektra, I just started working on the True Grip Aysha…you can see how I do it in my video here: https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4f707559-a96c-466d-93e0-0cfe0ac37250 at 0:35
My problem when I first started working on this way back was in letting the arm closest to my legs straighten out and that would pull my hand off the pole. If you keep that arm bent, you use your bicep to pull straight instead of at an angle and it doesn't twist the hand.
Got my first solid True Grip Aysha in this video, many thanks to Legend and her help.
