Makeda, I am with you. It seems like it takes me forever to learn a new move as well. Sometimes it’s so frustrating but it feels so good to conquer it. Love being older and being able to express myself. Also, I love this site. Us girls 40 and over rock!!! 🙂

Hi guys. I’m checking in. I’m 41 and love poling. Poling truly soothes my soul. Wish I could do more but I am enjoying every little move I can do for the meantime. 🙂

MD, please do not feel like you’re alone. I have the same problem for which I find it discouraging as well but don’t give up. Climbing the pole has been (and still is) a big challenge for me but it comes easy to others so I have learned not to compare myself to others but try to learn from watching different techniques. Just keep on working on it and it will get better. Believe me, some days I am totally discouraged but poling satisfies my soul so much that I refuse to let it go. I just continue to battle the challenge. 🙂 Eventually, you will be climbing and there will be another hurdle to jump over. LOL

Please let me know what dates you will be in California. Do you possibly know what county yet? I will be looking for the workshop schedule. Thank you 🙂

I have my pole in the front formal room as well and it is the first thing you see as soon as I open the front door; therefore, it’s like having two invitations. First invite is from someone opening the front door and the second invite is from my pole in the front room. lol It is funny how this discussion just came up because I am having a birthday party for my 1 year old daughter this weekend and thought that maybe I should take it down just to be polite, but I decided to leave it up because the pole has changed my life. Poling is a part of my life and really helps me to express myself and strive to do more. Participating in poling is who I am and if anyone is uncomfortable, then it is not a requirement to be present here.

What I’ve decided to do is have special gift bags for adults and surprise them with a gift if anyone decides to try it. My hubby is an officer, so it will be sort of weird to see how some of his friends may react once they see my pole in the front room. If hubby doesn’t care, then why should I. In addition, we pay the bills here so why take my pole down to please someone else… That person will not be the one to grant me heaven or cast me to hell, so why should I deny who I am. As for my parents, they are waiting for me to get another pole so that they can take the one I have for themselves. lol With parents like that, why should I care what anyone else thinks.

Thanks for the awesome discussion guys. 🙂

Gosh, I better practice twerking. I think that I can catch on to twerking faster than poling. Of course I will never give up poling but twerking makes it look so much better implementing both. I love this video. Thanks for sharing webmaster. 🙂

Thank you guys. I will try the techniques you’ve stated. This is a good start. I hope it works for me. 🙂

I consider myself slow as well so please do not think that you’re alone. It is taking me forever to climb the pole without being exhausted. I try to watch the videos and most of the girls on here makes it look so simple and easy but some of us just have to try harder and it takes a little longer that’s all. I believe practice makes perfect which watching the videos gives me motivation to know that one day the struggle will pass and then it will be on to the struggle of the new move…. and so on :). Although it’s taking a little longer to grasp that new move, I can say that it is better than not poling at all. My mind is at peace whenever I am practicing poling. 🙂 Thank goodness for the pole.

Thank you guys. I was looking all around for something that would fit a more curvy person and did not see anything cute until I looked at some of the sites which were mentioned here. Thanks guys. I can finally wear something where I look and feel sexy in as well.

Hi Guys,

I must say that it is my belief that learning on a static pole is better. Unfortunately, I was being taught on a spinning pole and can not do any of the cool moves learned on the spinning to transition onto the static. I was very disappointed that when I would go to the studio, I could do some awesome spins and moves, but after I would come home and attempt the same on my static pole, it was impossible.

I think that I wasted time and money but I wanted to give it some time. It is discouraging that I have invested time and money into expensive classes and I would say that I have nothing to show unless I am using spin mode. 🙁 My grip is way to tight and I am unsure as to everything else I am doing wrong to effect the same on a static pole. I am looking for a pole studio that only uses static poles and will learn from static first and when I feel like I made enough progress, then I will transition using spinning mode but the static pole will always be my first source for learning my moves.

I hope that helps.
