oh what a fabulous thread idea!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif i am going to have someone take some pics this weekend and have them put on dvd sop can post. if i warm up and stretch i can do a decent full split w L leg leading , but with R leg leading there’s a nice size gap between me and the floor. will have to really work on that side rather than getting lazy and relying on L leg all the time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

this will also be great for various splits on the pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
my jade looks sloppy bc lack of flexibility in that R leg. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
center splits are going to be quite the feat for me, but i think with the encouragment, advice ect on here it will happen! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
lookin foward to seeing everyones progress. good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_nemo.gif

ya i can’t wait to learn (someday..) how to compress (all videos are 500mb or higher andno clue how to compress to smaller size https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif ) so can post. did a new pose out of an inverted thigh hold but easier to show than to explain. maybe over the weekend can get some help. well Happy Thanksgiving and GOD bless!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[pole-twista]

honey don’t worry about a thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
i went through the exact same thing. i was the ONLY person in my class ( the 1st 4x was on a pole was in class but they’re too far away..ne way..) AND there was 52yr old woman (total beginner like me) as well as someone w a shoulder injury. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
than my friends come over when i get my pole and almost everyone can invert NO PROBLOEM. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
i was so disappointed and hard on myself. the time spent beating myself up over it got me nowhere but with lots of patience, practice and praise for little steps i got there and you will too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
it’s just going to feel that much sweeter when you nail it! keep us posted and good luck!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i have some ab strength, but i could use ALOT more. thanks for the tips on conditioning side abs. i am going to try the side bend with hooked leg. think thats really going to make me sore ( in a good way). https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
havenn’t been able to do Knees so far (think it is such an impressive move) as can’t find the "sweet" spot on my knee (have only so far found the very sensitive painful spots lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif )

[pole-twista]

[pole-twista]

thats awsome!!!!! so glad you found a club with entertaining dancers! am soo dying to go check out a real club (the ones around here are really "run down". next state over is about a 25 min drive and heard they have some really great dancers out there. the stip clubs i really want to check out are in boston but thats over an hour of driving…)
if your bf is cool with it and it’s something you want to do, i would go for it! you don;t have to stick with it if you decide it’s not for you, but atleast you can say you tried it so you won;t have to wonder… i was offered a job at a club before, but i knew even though i LOVE dancing, the job just wasn’t for me. i felt very sure in my desicion, but if i had even a slight doubt, i would have gone for it just to see for sure. well keep us updated! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[pole-twista]

ok after reading polechumps post i am so upset i am actually shaking https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif so am going to try to write with as much restraint as i can… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
i was fine with everything til there was a comment directed at sissybuns. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif
than i was PISSED. she had every right to be disappointed with her experience. if your that fkn LAZY and UNMOTIVATED you shouldn’t bring your half dead ass up on the "precious" stage!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif
don’t expect for people to respect and enjoy your so called "performance" when your working at a clubn that charges $10 A DRINK and forces you to keep buying these over priced drinks to watch some LAZY "dancer" barely move her tired ass. you don’t feel like putting on a show than don’t be an entertainer!!!!!! omg i could say so much more but am trying not to go off here… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif
2nd ANY "stripper" tring to beat down MY friend sissy will be getting a fkn set of broken bones from me personally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
please ok.. that would be the day so don’t even get me started. i HATE violence, but think i won’t stand up and fight physically for a friend ask me what happened on halloween when a STRANGER was getting pushed around by some GUY. never mind if its a FRIEND.. again i wAnt to say more here but on to the next thing that pissed me off.
saying won’t do parties bc the women are just regular women TRYING to be stippers???????? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif
honey please don’t flatter yourself. these women are people just like MANY MANY women out here who have regular lives/jobs and want to have some fun. i have 2 poles and can do more tricks and moves than any stipper I have ever seen. does NOT make me some wanna be stripper!!!! if i wanted to be a stripper would have started when i was offered a job by the manager of a strip club!!!! how dare you make it seem like non-stripping polers are anything less than AMAZING or imply that we just wish we could be strippers. it’s really sad to see a woman tearing down other women for there personal choices. you want to strip and just want to walk around w your tits out> great!!!!! you want to pole for the sake of exersise in your home> GREAT!!!!!!!! why do people get so either offended or on some level of thinking that they are some how better when others aren’t doing things exactly as they are? we live in a FREE country and if i want to go to work in a buisness suit and sit at a desk and than come home and throw on 8 inch heels and a g-string and grind my self into a pole WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME it’s bc i want to be a stripper!!! i love the pole and DO NOT EVER want to be a stripper. love watching strippers who actually perform and give them a ton of credit for being able to get up there at all, but come on now.
as far as saying mine as well "STAB you" for DESTROYING YOUR, YOUR??? art…. please dont say that too loud.. you may tempt someone. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif
calling students prudes to get them to open hips??? i would NEVER tolerate my teacher calling me names and the last thing i would want to do is open anything (except maybe my mouth) if i was called a prude by an instructor. i would expect encouragment not put downs from a teacher to keep students relaxed and comfortable.. especially in class like that..
as far as your students who "wouldnt even THINK of performing bc they "KNOW" stippers are better?? are you kidding me?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif
well if they’re UR students guess i can understand how they wouldn;t have the confidence to even imagine they could be as "good" and these strippers bc they probably get it drilled in there heads they’re not stippers just women "trying to act like strippers"
like i said i am not a stripper, nor do i want to be, but i KNOW i could get on stage and out perform any stripper I have ever seen PERSONALLY. i don’t exepect much from these seedy lookin clubs around here, but when your paying some crazy cover charge just to get in and than have to keep dropping $10 a drink plus tip, plus tips ect for the dancers… come on.. you expect people to drop a $100 or more on a night at your club, than don’;t be surprised when the people expect to get a show!! not just some LAZY, BORED LOOKING "Strippers" walking back and forth across the stage!!!! your shit stinks wether your a stripper/dancer/poler/ entertainer/lazy b—-, or whatever so don’t look down your nose at other people. AND sissy didnt go in there trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif she was drinking (since obviously at this "great" club with all these "strippers" we;re all sooo "jealous" of..(please..)
and was talking to a friend in what she thought was a PRIVATE place. she didnt know there was a dancer in the stall!!!!! not to mention maybe the dancers need to hear how their PAYING customers feel (even if maybe in a more tactful way) and who knows?? maybe they would actually learn a little bit of pole work and make it more intresting and entertaining for everyone!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
LOVE YA SISSYBUNS!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif LOVE ALL YOU POLERS out there!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
WOMEN UNITED THRU POLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif
i’m sure there will be quite a response to this but i reallty dont care bc i HAD TO speak my mind HONESTLY> https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif

[pole-twista]

i hear both sides. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_profileright.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_profileleft.gif
i found it wicked disappointing when i had gone to a strip club and the girls there didnt do even 1 spin. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
i was def. there to be entertained and while floor work ect can be entertaining and beautiful, like sissy said when your there for HOURS you want to see more diversity than that. ESPECIALLY if you HAVE to buy drinks or they kick you out! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
also i think it’s kind of ..idk.. just i get that men are pretty easy to please, but to i don’t think they ARE so simple that all they can appreciate is boobs and ass. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif
i can see making that the core of your routines, but i think even men can appreciate good pole work. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif
a sexy woman hanging by her thighs taking off her top??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif hellllo, think even a guy is going to be impressed and still going to be thinking "DAMN SHES HOT!". https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
doesnt have to be 10 tricks/spins a song, but maybe 1 or 2.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif
when i was 19 i was offered a job at a strip club and i can tell you especially if no one else was doing it, i would have been practicing moves on the pole. you’d be the dancer thats sexy, creative, AND who does the hot pole tricks/poses! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif
to each their own, but i agree for entertainment purpouses it would be nice if they even had certain days/hrs where they had more "pole performer dancers".
too bad she heard you, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif
but don’t beat yourself up over it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif you were drinking (and not thinking as i always say) and didn’t know she was there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
it does take "balls" to get up there at all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
spins/tricks are entertaining and would be nice to see. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif
live, learn, and move on.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_fish.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_fish.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_fish.gif

[pole-twista]

omg yes there are "big" girls that pole dance! and beatifully at that! there are many many body types just on this site (scan thru some vids and you’ll see). an old friends bf weighs over 200lbs and he was spinning and inveting! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif don’t worry honey you’ll be fine! (assuming you have a GOOD QUALITY pole like x-pole, plat. stages, or lil mynx.)

[pole-twista]

i didn’t get me belly button re-pierced bc of worries that it would hurt or get pulled rubbing on the pole. just took my tounge ring out after 5 yrs of having it. (nothing to do w pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif )
the lady bits piecing i don’t know, but i wouldn’t want to find out the hard way. i would call someone who does pirercings and ask what they think. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

[pole-twista]
