have you tried looking on Ebay? In the UK we have a site called Gumtree where people sell they old stuff…not sure if you have that where you are. Failing that, can you not buy an extension for your pole in the garage? Hope you sort something out 🙂

I agree with Tiggertail. With time, practise and patience you will be doing all the moves. Just keep posting and everyone will help you with the moves 🙂

If you search for onthepole – but they are a bit rubbish for posting new vids. The old vids are really good. I learn to flatline using that 🙂
What sort of moves are you looking to do? Spins or holds? -
I am new to pole and learning at home. I went to a class but found that the instructor was expecting me to invert on my first every pole day!!!
My fiance spots me to make sure I am doing the moves correctly and I have a friend who is a bit better at pole than me so she comes round to help too.
I found it so much easier to learn at home. I was paying £5 for an hour lesson every week but not getting one on one tuition.
At home I watch and rewatch videos to see how the moves are done BEFORE even touching the pole. I make masses of notes and warm up really well before hand.
Having mirrors in the room helps but if this is not possible get someone to take pictures of you so you can 1. see your progression and 2. make sure you are doing the moves right.
I also have really bad body confidence. I have had an eating disorder for over 10 years (recovering now) but I found it so hard to pole in front of other people. I was also conscious of how much I sweated or if I needed extra grip or if I was not strong enough.
I can train in my own time, in my pants 🙂 and no one has to judge me.
I have also found the moves have different names but if you do a lot of internet research you will work out what is what.
I love this site but am new to it, but I would really recommend watching dirdybirdy on youtube. She starts her vids right from basics.
Hope this helps 🙂 keep posting 🙂 xx
