not me i dont give a flying leap what anyone thinks of what i do i say it loud and proud scream it from my roof if i could https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif some people judge me but you know what? big deal if i walked around on eggshells about everything that could potentially offend or upset someone i would never leave the house i am not doing anything illegal and i am not hurting anyone (except occasionally myself) therefore you dont like it? looks like its too bad for you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif i really thought would have to do verbal battle w my mom https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif shes so not the type to be like " oh thats great honey… your dancing on a pole ? great sweetie" at first it was a little tense, than we moved to the "dont tell / "dont ask stage, and now she is the 1 telling me not to give up on my dream to open a studio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif and you know what changed her mind? seeing this isnt a phase for me its a passion she sees me walking around bruised up but she also sees me totally come alive when i start talkin about teaching and owning a studio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif she knows i have spent countless hours, at the sacrifice of much needed sleep between jobs, to study videos/books search for legal advice about starting classes ect she knows i am dedicated and take it serious she also knows i will not be swayed by others opinions / comments as i have said before i am a grown woman who is lucky enough to be living in a time when women are encouraged to embrace our sexuality and strength https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif i am lucky enough to be living in a free country where i can express myself wether thats through painting, songs, or poling the way i see it is if you want to crusade against something make it something worth while theres plenty of things to get angry about a person on a vertical piece of metal seems like a pretty petty thing to be fretting about https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif sorry as usual i have written a novel https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif i am just very fired up in the mornings https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif all that am traffic gets me ripe for topics like this lol ok ladies i am very lucky to live where and when i do, but am also very very lucky to have such a warm, suppourting group of people in one place
love ya guys!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif -
kerrie i def have days where i can not stick/hold no matter what i try some days its like no prooblem i can easily hold gemini/scorpio/hiphold ect other days i can barely spin i have learned to make it work for me i even posted a big post on 1 of these threads called "lemons to lemonade" or something cheesy like that where i said how i just couldnt grip so instead of getting frustrated i used that time to work on poses, floorwork, twirls ect i mean do what you can but when all else fails roll with it hope to be able to poel tommorow will let you know asap

oh def!!! kerrie if you find any info on this let me know and vice versa would love my chance to get on stage (have danced w poles in clubs but the 2 clubs 1 poles are on bar and are painted so have almost no grip so can;t do as much as would like other very tall poles but NO room to spin as on top of big speakers and poles are right against wall so you can only invert/climb but again cant do basic things like thigh hold release ect bc painted and not alot of grip) think would be awsome to have plenty of room and not have to worry about falling off the bar!
well thanks for the info! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

for the public in general it depends on my mood if i am in a good mood, i will probably take the time to try and explain if not so good mood will basically tell people i am not here to educate you on the reality of pole if you want to know the truth, do some research… otherwise stay closed minded and out of my face https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif
i am a grown woman and i dont feel the need to explain to anyone why i pole but if you have to know?… because i can thats my answer. when you start paying my bills i will start to care what you think ( dont mind me i am already all fired up bc of frustation w not being able to post) theres a diffrence between people who are unaware of the other side of pole dancing and its benefits and would welcome the chance to learn more https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif and those who have their minds made up and don’t even want to hear anything diffrent https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif for the ones who want to learn i am more than happy to talk about it for the others as i said stay out of my face/earshot on a good day i will laugh off the ignorance and think how the persons missing out on such an incredible thing and thats punishment enough for them .. on a bad day we may exchange words https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif either way i will pole as long as i am phsyically capable regardless of what ANYone says/thinks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif GO INDEPENDENT WOMEN EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

use shoes w ankle straps ( not always the most flattering for the leg line as can make legs look shorter but def worth it to not have to worry about your shoes flying off while spinning ect or having to worry about half your foot coming out of shoe and twisting ankle)
start low start w 2inch heels onve comfortable/confident w those upgrade i just bought some pretty sexy paltform spike heels good quality is sometimes worth the price for a good sturdy pair of shoes that are made for dancing
take a look at the bottom 2 of my fave heels have a non slip sole which is great but sucks when trying to twirls on crapet ( my pole is on thick carpet)
do balance exersises (not in shoes til you feel more comfortable having good balance in general helps when wearing shoes stand on 1 leg when brushing teeth ect easy way to bulild better balance)
hope this helped
