for me when i created my youtube i didnt have a studio veena or pole persona and it also backs up to my google/android info so im snoopybankai there, when i post videos i just caption the stagename that i have also changed to something that suits me better. same for veena, didnt have a stage name so its my real name last initial. facebook is my real name.

I'm in! I tried for splits by christmas and just fell OFF…real hard. LOL So Just this week I have dedicated myself to getting back pole ready and getting both of my side splits and make ANY sort of progress on my middle. LOL I'll have some pictures posted soon.

thanks to all you lovely ladies for my pep talks and encouragement. you all made some ownderful points. i am taking the veena lessons and i also have premier pole online as it helps me break up my routine some. i am going to try and take some time for myself and get into a routine that i can handle and just have fun. no rush, its not a competition with anyone. i'm my own worst enemy. 

@paulette i was teaching here in chattanooga just beginner stuff and running a few parties. things got chaotic and the studio moved so i put all that on hold for school. 

@teelee i may have to take you up on the offer to come have a pole jam, its so nice to know there is someone else in chatt. to pole with. im pretty much a beginner myself but i did go to atl to pole la teaz and graduated level 1. maybe we could pop down for a weekend workshop one weekend (or weekday if i know in adv and take pto lol who doesnt love leaving work to go pole?)

again, thanks you all you ladies, i'm gonna make it happen in time

im loving all of these ideas!

I'll reply I'll reply! LOL First off, I've seen your videos and they are AWESOME! You are doing a great job!

I started off with a couple months of Veena lessons just to see what they were like. Though i enjoyed them, me alone in my living room was a bit depressing 🙂 I decided to take a level one at a studio that is an hour and 45 minutes away. I really enjoyed taking the classes because it put me in a room with other like minded ladies and the support and motivation was awesome. Since I live so far away, I couldn't keep up with the classes and make that drive every week for 8 weeks at a time. 

Even though I had been dancing for months, I wanted to see what a class was like from the beginning and was one of the more advanced students. I was given the option to come to an open pole session and "test out" of level 2. I guess it just depends on what the studio does. 

If I could go to classes I think I would just to be physcially around more people, but I had found my motivation and like minded people here in you Veeners!

Hope this helps some 🙂

A couple of the instructors at my stuido went for one at Gold's Gym a few months ago. I know its high energy and incorporates burlesque and striptease moves. this is what they got:

The certification class includes:

1 Hour Master Class

* 4 hour lecture and movement

* 1 Copy Urban Striptease DVD

* Urban Striptease Training Manual

 

* Choreography Notes

i actually bought one for home even though i've started classes. i drive 1hr 45min to atlanta to take classes on sundays! the pole i have is an xpole knock off as well but the contruction is similar. i paid about 165 dollars for it off of ebay. the name of the seller was healthline. its 45mm and can convert to spinning from the bottom. the studio that is starting up classes here where i "teach" also has the same pole, plus one xpole.
