at my studio pole pressure, there are many women of different ages and body types i would assume the ages of the students vary from 19 to at least 60 and the older women are ripped, its so inspiring. be confident with your body it doesnt matter what size you are even if the other girls in the room dont share the same body type. if you believe your sexy then everyone else will see it too. maan ill tell you what though, ive been in a few classes where girls and guys thicker than i am are pulling of ayeshas and doing flags like its nobodys business. i promise sticking with these classes will not only benefit your well being, but it also may inspire other women to feel confortable in their own skin as well. all women are beautiful, especially any strong woman.

id hate to cross any lines or force anyone to answer any unwanted questions…but if you feel confortable, im just curious as to why or what are some things that you may face as obstacles that are most frustrating

right now im experiencing the same pain, but in both shoulders, more so in my right. and the disconforting sensation usually occurs when im trying to sleep, laterally raise my arms, or when i put pressure on them. im pretty sure its in my rotator cuffs as well, and that i got it from overworking my body, my current school is so stupid, they refuse to facilitate us with a proper dance room for dance majors, ppl in my class are getting hurt back to back, and on top of that we have 3 hour dance classes on thursdays and fridays no break in between. so when i went to my pole studio later that friday(the only time that works for me) we did climbing drills, and my body was already sore from all the movement we do with our arms. no recovery time.. but my question is how long has this problem been going on, when might it get better?

Im in the middle of a renovation. Since i still live with my parents. They offered he garage to me for my dance space. But our garage is full of junk. And it would cost more for me to convert it into a studio than anything else. Since they won’t let me touch any other room(even though they don’t even use most of them nor have guest) i decided to just create space in my bedroom. I sold half of my clothing collection n dressers just for space. I purchased several cheap long mirrors from lowes theyre about 6$ each. And small DIY shelves for my dance shoes. I have so much more space. I still plan on installing track lights they’re about $40. N hard wood floors. We might have wood left over from when we built the house, IF not…then stained bamboo floors is a nice alternative, its a “green solution, looks great, and is actually cheap. Great if ur on a budget. Ill put up pictures eventually

WOOOOOHOOOOO ! lol pretty soon you might find yourself renovating an entire bed room as your own personal studio. congrats and good luck on your journey. i feel as though the rest of the world of ppl who are not pole addicts have no idea on what fun they are missing

im currently taking a certification course under ACE as well. i really like it, its very helpful, but i did also take a course in anatomy for my own personal enrichment, but u dont need to do thats just me, but i will say it has helped me have a better understanding of how the body works. however its an in classroom course, im not sure if your looking to take online classes. either way you schould check out their website of the different certifications they offer.

its always better to start off at the bottom then work your way to the top. when i first started, i experience the same pain as well. i was just so excited to be dancing that i did it everyday for atleast 3 hours and i would wonder why my right arm was in pain. my problem was i was stressing my muscles and over working them, not taking a break allowing my body to regenerate new muscle fibers, i would only work one side, plus i think i may have locked my elbow when perfoming this hold. NEVER EVER EVER LOCK JOINTS THAT YOUR PUTTING PRESSURE ON, thats how u develope tendonitis. perfect the beginner moves or intermediate, work your way up. some of the best performances are done through perfection of basic moves or inverts. so i agree that you should take a break, a few days maybe a week (i know it sucks) until it feels better. try strengthening your muscles in your chest and upper back like the rhomboids and scapula as well as your core, i would think the primary muscles in this pose doing a flag would be more so in the core, strengthen that and you will take majority of the pressure off relying on just yours arms

thanks to all the ladies for the great advice. i went to the studio a second time, but i just went there to figure out how to get there by train. and the same dude was there, he didnt say anything to me that time, he was just hanging out, but i have class again tomarrow and i will notify the front desk if i see him again, and i have a feeling i will. its rediculous. my boyfriend said i should carry mace and said since that guy thought it was perfectly ok to humiliate you in such manor, it should be ok for you to mace him in the muthaf**n face. but he doenst always give the most reasonable advice.

my boyfriend and i play fight and wrestle all the time, he jokes around and tells ppl that i man handle him. He doesnt worry about me too much if im to travel by myself, i simple just flex my guns and say to him "they dont want none of this". ive always kinda been a tough chick though. i had to in order to fit in with my brothers since im the only girl.
but me as an adult speaking, i dont go looking for fights, i dont put fuel on the fire if someone is being confrontational, but trust me if im feeling threatend or im put in a predicament where im obligated to defend myself, i feel as though thats the universes way of giving me permission to go ape shit lol. i even stronger being a pole dancer. and i assume by someone partaking in unwanted contact towards me, is their consent and i will take full advantage of that opportunity…and tear that a$$ up lol

well pole dancing has kinda existed before pole dancing in strip clubs was even a thing. if you look up the history on chinese pole, though modern pole dancing and chinese pole are done on different style pole , they both use many of the same techniques, different climbing methods, similar grips. but as for sheila kelley…im skeptical, she wasnt the first.
