Hey Pinky! I totally understand the stage fright at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I have been dancing for most of my life, and I can dance on stage in front of thousands of people I have never met with no problems, but since I got started with Pole I get really shy to dance in front of my man as well. I think I have the same problem.. I don’t want to look like an idiot https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif One thing that really helped me, and my hubby really liked as well, was that we put a blacklight in my pole room and turn the lights out when I dance for him. It is a little one that can be twisted into a regular bulb outlet. It is just enough that I can let myself dance freely and kind of forget that he is even there watching me. It has really helped me to open up and feel sexier when I dance. You should give it a try. Hope that helps! Happy Poling!

Sounds great! Let me know if you can come and I will give you my address and phone number. As for how a pole jam works? I don’t know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif This will be our first time! I have a pole in my basement we can play on. It is a smaller diameter pole so if that throws you off you are more than welcome to bring your own pole and we can set it up in the basement as well. If you don’t mind a smaller pole, we can all just take turns playing on mine. Totally up to you
I will totally have to come to that club on Tuesday nights (pending I have money for gas to get there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif) That sounds so fun! We could all meet up and show off what we are learning.

That is fun! You know Shi! We are doing a pole jam this Saturday morning (the 24th) at my place in Ogden at 10 am if you can come. You are totally welcome to come, i know it is kind of short notice tho. The next one will be at Shi’s house in SLC (don’t know the date yet). We rotate houses and I am going to try and go to her house some evenings to just play around when she doesn’t have classes. I will let you know when we get together so you can come play with us https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Welcome! So happy to see more people from Utah! I am in Ogden and JorShi is in SLC. We are going to get together and have pole jams frequently to help each other learn. You are totally welcome to come play with us if you ever want! Welcome again! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Yay I have a pole buddy! We can both try each pole. I can do almost any spin, climb the pole, and I can do an inverted V but that is it so far. What can you do? I have school til the end of April with Fridays and Weekends off. These next couple weekends are kind of busy for me but I can do any day after finals. What is your schedule like? We could do a Friday or Saturday in a couple weeks.. I am so excited https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Welcome! I bet you’ll do really well with pole dancing with your background.

Thanks. I am learning quickly with the spins and grabs but I am used to my partners holding me upside down so I haven’t quite figured out how to hold myself on the pole (i.e. sitting on the pole and inversions).
I also made my own pole that is a smaller diameter for my small little hands. It can be stationary or spinning and it was much cheaper than buying one since my husband is very handy. It is very good quality. I just wonder if it would be easier to sit and grab the pole better if it were bigger like the normal 2 inch pole. Mine is about 1.5 inches. I love my pole, but I’ve never tried any other pole so I don’t know what would be easier for inversions and tricks.

Welcome!! I love to watch ballroom and my husband and I took 3 lessons for swing and disco a few years ago. I loved the disco haha, I would love to learn other styles like the waltz, and all the latin styles. Are you watching this season of Dancing with the Stars?? Its on tonight! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

That is fun! I love swing. The other styles are so fun as well! They are so different and are all so fun.
I am definitely watching Dancing with the Stars!!! I love it! I don’t always get to watch it, but this season I have been able to watch both nights yay! There are some really great dancers this season.

Way close we should get together one weekend and have a pole jam. I have only been doing it since the beggining of the year. So not to long, I wish I was further than I am.
I have only taken one class, which is what got me into it. Then bought my own pole and just been using the site. I am planning on taking classes this next month cause they have their passes 50% off. So I can afford that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif sadly. The studio is Studio Soriee, out in sugar house. Im hoping that with taking classes it will help me improve what I need and sharpen what I have learned so far. I could always teach you what they teach me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheese.gif

We totally should get together!!! That would be so fun! I am glad we are both beginners. My husband is super handy and we research how to make a pole ourselves. We didn’t have the money to buy one so we made our own and permanently mounted in our basement. That is exciting that Studio Soiree is having a discount. If I lived closer and had the money, I would totally do it! Good luck with the classes. I would Love to learn what you are learning!!

[luv2dance]

Yay you are close! I just started poling about a month or so ago. How long have you been poling? No classes sadly. Don’t have the extra money for them. I just watch videos and play on my pole in my basement. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Are you taking classes? If so… where at?

[luv2dance]

I live in Ogden right now and went grew up in Spanish Fork. I have also lived in Cedar City when I went to SUU.
As for the ballroom. I have done it ALL!! I was on SUU’s Touring Team and we did every kind of ballroom dance you can do. Mostly formation routines but a few solos as well. My personal favorite is Theater Arts. It is a routine with mostly lifts and tricks. I love it! What part of Utah are you ladies from? So glad to see a bunch of Utah pollers https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
