great idea! I so need this challenge, my non-dominant side has been neglected for a while. 🙂

If your torso is against the pole than you're not really gripping with your elbow, do you? Doesn't it make it a Forearm Grip Aysha than, not Elbow Grip?

I love that Studio Veena is such a supportive community. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif We are all friends here and though it might look like a mutual adoration club sometimes I like it this way. We all need a little encouragement sometimes to keep us motivated in what we do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
I wouldn't like it to become another You Tube where people post really nasty comments just because they can.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
Besides, the truth is nobody likes to get advice that they didn't ask for. So unless someone specifically asked for help, don't volunteer it. If you don't have anything positive to say it's better not to say anything.
People are usually aware of their little imperfections and we don't need to point it out to them. Unless maybe when you are that person's instructor and you are responsible for teaching them that move correctly. But even a good instructor always offers more praise than criticism. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
We learn a lot here on SV from watching the lessons and other people's videos as well as from chats and forum discussions. Most of us are amateurs anyway, we pole dance for fun and we don't expect it to be perfect. But Eva if criticism is what you really, really want and need – I dare you to post a video and we will be happy to critique it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Rihanna's "Skin" always does it for me. Also Sade's "No ordinary love"

well, not all guys can invert and shoulder mount at their first try – only those who are already fit. My brother, for example doesn't do any exercise at all. He tried to pull himself up once on my pole and couldn't really do it. He just said: ugh.. this is tough! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

my mum is very supportive and she actually encourages me to pole – she says exercise is good for me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif She says if she was younger she would do it herself.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

just working on mine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif promised myself I would do a challenge every month and I'm sticking with it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

This video is shot in a very interesting way. Kind of looks like pole dancers skewers https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif.
The music is very hypnotizing too.

In the beginning I wasn't into heels at all. I preferred dancing barefoot, it felt more natural to me. But recently I discovered that heels make you move differently and more sexy and I want to explore that side of pole dancing too. It will be something different for me. So I just ordered my first pair of Pleasers (clear platform of course 🙂 ). Can't wait until they get here so I can try them!

Well, the building I live in was built in 1930's so I guess it must be the old type. This is probably why I couldn't find the damn beam anywhere!
This is a relief because I really didn't like the idea of taking the pole down.
-
Than I just might have to take my pole down altogether 🙁 My pole room is so small that if I put the pole anywhere else than in the center of it I don't have enough space.
-
I was also wandering about it. How important is it really to put the pole exactly on the joist/beam? Do I risk damaging my ceiling if I don't do that? Will the ceiling get cracks in it or something? I also couldn't find the beam when I was first installing my pole. But then I realized that the beam might just run through the center of the ceiling but because I have a built in closet on one side of the room I can't put the pole there because that wouldn't give me enough space to pole.

Well, if flat is the new sexy than I should consider myself really lucky because I have the tiniest, smallest boobs (30A). For many years I was feeing very unhappy about it and even thinking of surgery. It has all changed since I started poling. Pole dancing gave me new confidence and acceptance for my body. Plus it turns out that being flat-chested can be a real advantage in pole (or any sport for that matter) 🙂
But please, girls – don't say you hate your breasts! Saying you hate your body is like saying you hate yourself.

I think all we can do to prevent it is to be positive, not defensive and try to popularize pole. If more people did pole and everyone knew at least one person who poles: a friend, colleage, family member, neighbour, etc. then the hateful comments would stop because people would get a better understanding of pole dancing and realize we are not doing anything wrong. Besides it is kind of hard to hate on your sister, or firend, or girfriend who poles when you know they are good people.
