My pole school are going to try and get a place next year at pole unity too. We were too late last year didn’t realise how popular it is. I think it’s January before you can register though. It’s in Potters Bar on June 26th and sounds like amazing fun. We’ve come up with a theme, music etc so lets hope we get a place.

Welcome. I’m another UK girl but I’m from the south I live in Kent and love poledancing I’m completely hooked. Graceful unfortunately takes time but the dismount I find easiest from inverted crucifix when I was first learning is the forward roll. Tuck you head in as you come down and roll into a sitting position then you can get up nicely from there. Polephoenix’s suggestion is another good once as neither require you to support your body weight and bring your legs down gracefully. Goodluck with the practice.

Welcome. Once you get your pole you will be hooked so keep us updated on how you get on.

Flights look cheaper than the ferry to me. Pole jam in Guernsey could be really cool. How easy would it be for the northern girls though? Cxxx

I had a go on the R-pole which is 38mm at Miss Pole Dance UK and the stuff I was messing around with was great (just some basic inverts) but I didn’t try superman or any thigh grips as I’d had a few drinks by then and didn’t want to fall on my head. I remember liking the grip I had on the pole it felt really secure. My pole school have just bought some which I’ll be testing out Wednesday so I’ll let you know then.

I’m based in Kent and would definately be up for a UK pole jam. I don’t mind having to travel a bit & love the idea of a beach pole session but I think it’ll come down to cost of travel for a lot of people. Once we know where everyone is based we can see if it’s feasible. My pole school are planning poleing in the park in the summer as we just got some R-Poles I love the idea of being able to pole outside.
Hope to meet up with some of you girls once the jam is organised.

Nearly forgot no sand or water required just the base and the pole.

Hi my work internet wouldn’t let me follow the link but I wondered if you were talking about the new R-pole or a similar thing. The R-pole is a 38mm pole which is really easy to move about, is free standing and it’s base doubles as a mat. Follow the link. http://www.r-polefitness.com/
I tried it out at Miss Pole Dance UK and it was great they had 2 demo poles. The studio I’m at has ordered some for their new venue and our instructor had one on loan for a while before she ordered and loved it. Her boyfriend managed swinging like an idiot on it without tipping it over too. They are expensive but for what it is I think it’s probably worth it I would get one if I didn’t already have a pole.
Hope we’re trying to talk about the same thing and that my comments help.

Hello,
It’s good to see more girls from the UK joining studioveena. I’m a Kentish girl and have been poling a year and a half now and still loving it. Hope you find some more things to keep you motivated and help you advance here.

Yes that was Tracey. The girl that won was super strong but some of Tracey’s moves impressed me more. I decided to aim enter doubles next year if I can pull off the training I want. I won’t get past heats but it’ll be nice to work towards something.

You are not alone to start with I would over think things and fail miserably but once I was a bit more confident I just started to do spins etc without stopping to think too hard and it was much better. Everyone learns at a different pace so try not to compare yourself to other girls they probably find it hard too.
Getting comfy with the pole is the most basic bit once you stop being scared by it I’m sure you’ll be fine. Try to find time for the bits you can do and perfect them. Hopefully knowing you can do some spins well will help your confidence.
Pole dancing does take a fair bit of strength even for the basics but this will come to you with time and practice and ask you instructor to check your technique too if your worried about that she will more than happy to help.
Hope that’s helpful

Hi, I went to this and had a fab time my favourite was Tracey I thought she should have won. The doubles were great too. What did you think?

Everyone always asks this. Check out http://www.wikipole.org It aims to give all the alternative names for moves. If you see a move on there but know it by a different name you can add it on. They are trying to do it for spins now. As you said schools do make up their own names so there are so many names out there.
