Wow, maybe others will be able to give input. Is the pole school renting a bigger or different venue to have the show? Who is instructor(s) giving privates for routine?
I’ve been part of showcase at two different studios and know of a few others in surrounding area. The shows are at the studio so no cost to performers. Only fee for spectators and performers are not responsible for selling a minimum or make up difference. We are encouraged to invite others, and we do like doing that!
Also, those who want help with routine/choreography set up their own privates as often as they like and with who they want.
I agree it would be good challenge, as it took me almost 10 years of poling to do simple routine. I never had interest in performing, but finally tried it. I will do a couple this year again, even though my routines are simple and basic, I am stepping out of comfort zone.
Not knowing all the details, this seems a little steep and many financial requirements to participate. Hopefully others can give input.

I love my 45 titanium gold. Had a 50 tit gold years ago, bought a 45 chrome and within months bought a 45 tit gold and sold the 45 chrome.

Yes! You can achieve/accomplish. I started at almost 50 and am now 59 yrs old. I haven’t achieved all that others my age or older have, however, I am doing things I NEVER thought possible. Veena’s lessons are a big part of my pole journey. I still use them to date. I have couple studios I attend, take workshops often, etc. I have cross trained with boot camp classes and still cross train. Having a pole at home is very helpful. I’m not on it as often as I’d like, but often enough to get practice and work out. Greta is an inspiration, however, there are many more of us who achieve and inspire each other at non-champion levels It does take time, practice, patience, etc. Your pole journey will be your own, don’t make it into someone else’s. Welcome and keep us posted!

I am 59, been poling since about 50. I have two home studios miles apart, have visited/taken classes at many other studios and never felt out of place. The only time(s) I feel mismatched is when being in a class where some sensual moves are included as part of dance or warm up. My body doesn’t move in that way and I feel like a dufus, also lack of flexibility makes me feel horrible during warm-up/routine, etc. Otherwise, no matter what age difference is, I feel part of class/pole and welcomed by all. I might add, I am usually asked by someone who I don’t know how old I am, at pole class and the studio I go to for boot camp workout. And am told “hope I can do what you do when I’m that age”. Gotta love it!
That being said, I understand with the Sitting around and gabbing after class, going to poling events together, hanging out outside of pole, etc. I tend to feel out of place. I do hang out outside of pole depending on the event, function, etc. because it’s fun. But if I feel I’ll be out of place as an “old fogie” I will pass.
Don’t forget…WE ROCK!!!

YAY! This is the NCPP showcase I performed in last August. A few months back there was a post by the producers of this showcase asking who we would like to have as a judge. Of course, my response comment was “VEENA!” I’m not saying I had anything to do with her being a judge, but……lol
This is a great event for people like me who does not pole “dance” but wants to branch out, if even just a little bit. Thanks, ottersocks!!!!!!

I am glad other veneers have kept up and enjoy watching all of you.

I’m bummed I haven’t kept up with the January Challenge. I have only done the first two days so far. I worked on days 3 & 4 but didn’t get anywhere with something that should be simple for me. Then things kept coming up. I was actually going to use today, Sunday, to pole and catch up, BUT I went to an Xtreme Boot Camp class yesterday, Saturday, and got my butt kicked BIG time. Since I do work out pretty much, not everything hurts, but my chest muscles and biceps are VERY fatigued, and my hamstrings and inner thighs are on FIRE!
I can barely move around, so I can’t imagine what any poling would feel like. I must admit there were a couple of days I could have done something but got lazy in the cold weather 🙁

Yay on your new pole!! Did you get an xpole? Enjoy!!

Tropical, what I meant was I am not comfortable with pole walking and would rather be on the pole instead of the floor. And I never dance in heels at all.

You are not alone vertical, neither am I#

Didn’t even pay attention to front seam, had to go check haha No, doesn’t bother me. In fact all of the shorts I mentioned have front seam, except the pole skivvies. Guess it doesn’t bother me.

@poleisnewtome I am also very picky about shorts fitting me and covering up butt cheeks, etc. 1) I have a pair of yogabela and love it. I bought them at an event and wish I would have bought another pair or so. 2) I also bought a pair of Attitude shorts at Expo and again, wish I bought another pair. 3) I have a pair of AMB one size fits all. I wear them, but wish they started out for someone smaller. My husband says they look kinda big on me. 4) My favorite are no longer are in business, pole skivvie. I have many pair, but wearing them out lol 5) I also have some from poledanceplayground. Two pair in xs that fit well. Also bought a pair of small at an event and regret it. They don’t fit as well as xs on me. They are the side tie. 6) I have two pair of KMK and love them. Again, it’s hard to find good butt cheek cover, but have two that do. The snake magenta are nice pattern and I also have the gold. 7) I couldn’t find any Bad Kitty or Mika at events to fit me comfortably 🙁 Good luck to you and others.

Allyson and Tropical,you are both funny. However, totally understand how you feel. There is a lot I am uncoordinated for, etc, so we will see. Wonder if we get a free pass to replace with something else lol. I might need a lot more than one pass. 😜
