Hello

Everyone I am a newbie at pole danceing. And I have been danceing for 7 days now . I love my xpole,but I am not doing to good with spins and tricks. I am going to put me up a video on you tube . I need more upper body strenght so I bought me some 10lb hand weights to work out with. Plus I weight 160 so trying to lose about 20 to 30 more lbs wouldnt hurt me any . But I love pole danceing it is so musch fun other than I have bruised legs and arms . But I didnt figure that pole danceing was not going to be easy when you are not use of picking up your hole body weight and haging upside down on a pole .

thanks for listening Carol

Hi Carole!
I gave you your own thread, I hope that's OK!

Don't worry about forcing yourself into difficult moves quickly; build your strength up a bit first.

Thanks

To all of you nice pole danceing babes . For all your nice comments and encouragement . And I am glad to have you all to talk to about learning to pole dance . My boyfriend has been helping me with the encouragement till I joined this forum. But I need all I can get because this is hard to do. And it is also so Fun and a great exercise for your body. And I am wanting to get me a small routine learned smoothly and nice to post on you tube . I am trying to learn the fireman off of youtube videos there are alot of things you can watch and learn off of you tube . But I need more strenght to do them . So I was wondering how long does it take to start getting enough upper body strenght to were you can lift yourself up onto the pole . Last night I tried to do my first pole climb and I raised myself up on it for just a few seconds . But I can jump up on the pole and sit on it for 1 or 2 mins in with my legs crossed . I have decided that I really want to learn to do this and even if I dont get to do everything that I want to at first starting out . But if it is all I need is to be stronger than I can do it .

Thank you all (POLE DANCEING BABES )

Welcome to the forum, and say goodbye to your free time!

Upper body strength builds up with time, just think, everytime you do a spin you are supporting your bodyweight with you arms! Just keep trying, how long it takes really varies, but you'll start seeing the benefits very soon! There was a good quote on here a while ago (forgot who said it though) who said every attempt makes you stronger, even if it doesn't go quite right. Makes me feel better if I'm having a hard time with a move!

Good luck with the poling, looking forward to seeing a video! hello1

I
cant waite to get to do my spins better than I am dong right now . I love to watch pole danceing it is like a work of art to me . That someone took all the time of being sore bruised and learning to do the things they do on a pole . I never could dance normal at a club or just dance to a song . I was always thinking you know I cant dance I bet pepole are laughing there,ss off at me . But ever sense I have been pole danceing I dont care what pepole think of me . Because if there going to think bad of me they are wether I pole dance or not they are going to think what they want . So I am from West Virginia one of the smallest states in the united states. I have not got to put my picture on here yet and my location hopefully I will get to everything . I work everyday and when I get home I want to pole dance . But around here pole danceing is not a big thing . And they are no were to take classes at here to learn that I know of . There are a few bars , strip clubs . But this is a great fitness chalenge for me to do this . Because I used to be the person that would try things for fitness and I would just give up at some point . But I have been very good at staying on diets and eating healthier foods . I have lost 35lb sense last febuary. Weigh160now . I used to be alot smaller till I got hooked on junk food fried foods and just not paying attention to it one day . And I said to myself wow I am fat . What happened to me .But I see a healthier future ahead of me .

Hey have any of you saw KTCOATES VIDEOS I think is here name but I think she ownes xpole I think . She is really great to watch . And leannoris I think is the other girl on you tube she has her own dance studio bespun.

IF you have not saw these pole babes check them out

thanks for the isnpiration. I am so glad to have this forum for advice and other pole babes to talk to . I finealy climb the pole didnt stay on it very long but .I am so happy about it . My man bought me a web cam and learnig it for you tube . Doing better on the fireman move . Heels help me about sticking to the pole but danceing to a fast song I trip on my heels somtime ,so I think I will not dance in heels to often. Till probole nexted year . I should be broke in by then . I am haveing trouble with spins around the pole . I am really haveing fun with my expole . I was wondering if any of you read my post about ktcoates and the leigannoris
well ktcoates owns the xpole company that makes expole. But leigannoris is a fitness instructor and pole instructor and these to ladys are amazeing to watch. They have videos on you tube . So if you have not check these ladys out please watch them because they are great pole dancers . I hope thats me in about 2 years if I could just get my lower body to dance better and to move my butt . But I will not give up on becomeing a good pol dancer.

thanks for listening you all thank you carol

Hi Carole,
Good to see you have found some inspiration!
There are lots of brilliant pole dancers you can watch for further inspiration, such as Pantera, Jamilla, Bobbi, our own Riley (and loads more!) - also if you look up Pole Divas, many of our own forum members are performing. In addition, the vids section & moves section of this forum contains some excellent tips for moves. But be safe!
Enjoy!
