its possible i spend 2-6 hours a week on studioveena. i receive notifications on my phone, so if im waiting at the DMV or a passenger in a car…or waiting anywhere, ill just watch videos or waste time in the forums recieving and discussing tips or what not.

im 22

ive been pole dancing for about 2 years. but i first became interested in pole dancing after hearing about a women who owned a studio in seattle on the news back when i was 13. seems a little contraversial for a minor to be interested in pole dancing, but i didnt see anything wrong with it. the instructors were all wearing tank tops and leggings but were doing really cool tricks, and i just thought "woah i wanna go upside down". from there, i knew it was something i wanted to try or have in my home when i became older. as i got older and puberty came and left i developed insecurities, ive always had a weight issue but it wasnt until highschool that i engaged in unhealthy restrictive eating and over exercising. in other words i had an eating disorder because i always felt like my weight made me unattractive. and anyone who has had anorexia nervosa knows it doesnt really go away. Finally, freshman year of college, a bad breakup sparked this incredible impulse to do something for myself. i had just enough money saved to invest in my own pole. and boom. thats what i did. i purchased my own 45mm chrome x pole and we have been in love ever since. pole dancing has heeled and mended wounds no man, woman, medicine, exercise ever could have. not only am i a healthy weight, i could careless whether i gain or lose. i know how special i am. how beautiful, powerful, and strong my body mind and spirit has become. it has motivated me to become more knowledgable about nutrien and the human anatomy, continue my dance education. and even push myself to being successful in school (i made dean's list lol) so that one day i could become apart of a team of pole enthusiats and spread the joy. i honestly and truthfully believe it will change the lives of any women (i am a woman so i speak for women) for the better. it empowers them to embrace their desired sexuality and femminity in which we are taught by society to suppress, and express themselves in a safe, non judgemental environment, and really channel the energy of they inner goddesses they are

im feeling like ive been stuck, its almost 2 years and im so anxious. i feel like i should  be doing handsprings by now…and i cant, i see ppl who have been doing it for only a year and are doing amazing stuff idk what it its. i used to attend a studio that is 2 hours away, but…its not worth me traveling so far for the experience that kinda feels like im being intrusive. all the other girls are aquainted with each other and address one another by their name. but its obvious on how much i miss out, events, competitions, showcases, and valuable studio time. it sucks living in the boonies. i can do some advanced moves like teddys or reverse v… but lately ive been so frustrated that i cant do a stupid basic butterfly

i like modern dance, if you want to try something more abstract

 

[kaygee10]

They’re pretty good

[kaygee10]

i just checked out the website…eh. but i wasnt able to veiw the videos but it looked like quite a bit. but who ever it is, i dont think theyre intentions are bad. just a bunch of videos of really good choreographed peices it seems like

 

[kaygee10]

well…maybe im wrong, but i for one have been told that im a person that has too much faith in humanity that ppl will always do the right thing. but maybe this women (im assuming is a woman) is genuinely interested in pole dancing herself. maybe she has seen a few of your videos and thought you were talented. to be honest if you post anything of yours on the internet ppl will see and might want to use it. nothing on the the internet is really private. but maybe you should message this person. her English might not even be broken, she might just speak in a strong Australian dialect,

[kaygee10]

if your intuition is telling you, they might just want you to perform on the show to make fun of you, or disregard your interest as being presented respectfully and honestly…dont do it. But, im not sure of what show it is, but if i had this opportunity i would approach simply stick to althletic sneakers or bare feet and yoga pants. leave the lingerie at home, though pole dancing has a sexy side, i believe theres a time and a place for such things, and lastly, stay away from the reoccuring pole dancers vs strippers debate. we pole dancers know the amount of athleticism that is involved. but its not worth accidently offending the erotic dancers within the pole dance community we know we are all equal as athletes but its exhausting to try and defend everyone, so just avoid it all together if it comes down to it

[kaygee10]

ok..i think i can deal with risking hitting my shins, that does make it less intimidating, i guess its best to use slow and controlled movements, but maybe for my first time im gonna prepare myself with extra padding, some soccer shin guards and some pillows if i fall. lol

 

[kaygee10]

i was actually thinking about posting this as a topic too…but, i wanna know should i expect the first time i try this i might slam into the pole and hurt the lady bits

Pole dance has became my world. I feel stronger ,sexier, and more of an individual. Pole dance has nurtured my creativity and allowed me to find my calling, and gave me my focus where there was none before. Before i was a college student on the verge of dropping out because i had no drive to become anything. But now pole has taught me to utilize all that my school has to offer n to take advantage of every opportunity to perform. Im able to set goals and achieve them. Im more confident and daring in my clothing choices that for sure. And when i struggled for almost 10 years with poor body image and an out of control eating disorder, i can finally feel like i free of the disease and Im in more control of my body. Most people aren’t taught how to be sexy or know where confidence comes from, but pole helps you find it on your own…not as if it was missing before, but it reveals that god/goddess within u

Congrats on your journey on being a business woman. Designing and running a studio is my dream. U will be successful. U have experience and a great city to start in.

 sounds like a hamstring pull. dont stretch it though, its now time to rest that muscle but in the meantime you should ice it. it could take a while to heal, so only stretch your quad (muscle in the front of your leg, look for quad exercises) and itll prevent your hip flexors from cramping up from not stretching your hamstring for a while.

  im asuming your muscles in your legs werent warm or you pushed yourself too far too quick.  Either way, what ever you do, do not stretch it until it has finished healing.  for now just ice, compress, and elevate, and once your to that point where your confortable sitting in a floor straddle, perform a nice long warm-up, wear layers if you have to, eat potassium  before a workout(bananas) to help relax muscle, and intake protein (protein shakes or whatever) after every workout to help in the reconstruction of muscle fibers
