I am one of those who falls in and out of love too! Happens with everything I ever do Knitting, Horse back riding, Figure Skating, Drawing, playing Musical Instruments, Rollerblading the list goes on…..So far not pole. I feel your frustration and I am a bit worried myself. I can relate to you at the moment Runemist. Today was my first day back on the pole after 19 days of mourning my sis and recovering from sickness…..it was not a good practice….anyway, I just wanted to let your know, I’m sorry your feeling this way, it sucks and I understand! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
The down side of pole is that it does require strength in order to progress, but if your happy just dancing now and then, there is nothing wrong with that either. Just stick with the basics so as not to injure yourself. Not every pole dancer HAS to invert to have fun. Now on the other hand…if your goal is to become a Pro pole dancer, then you’ll have to stick with some type of training schedule.
Here are my tips for motivation.
-Set a goal…..Keep it attainable and specific. Don’t say "I wanna dance like Felix some day" https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-Keep a log. (like others suggested)
-Hang a pole picture someplace where you’ll see it EVERYDAY and often.
-Give yourself a reward for sticking to your goal.
-Set up some pole time with a friend! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif The chat room is always open here for members to meet. If you have someone else who is counting on you to be there it can help you stick with it. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
Also, its OK to only LIKE pole, maybe if you give yourself some time you’ll end up falling in LOVE with pole dance again. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

Hello and welcome. We have all shapes and sizes here and even a few male pole dancers! My favorite pole is the X pole and I sell them here on the site. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif The new x poles are also bottom loading, which means you don’t need to stand on a ladder to set it up. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Hmmm, that’s interesting….come to think of it Pink… I have a Titanium Gold X pole and with that pole I have never had trouble with stuck tubes…but, all of my chrome x poles have been difficult to get apart at one point or another. The only way I can keep them from getting stuck its to make sure I hand tighten the pieces when I set up the pole. Then for maintenance I loosen them then re-tighten once a week while the pole is still up. It seems to help prevent them from getting stuck. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have not made that lessons yet…but I will https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It is not painful for me either. The two best ways I have found to keep the pain away is speed and when going slow, you must have proper placement on the trap. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

My extension for the ballerina comes from my hip flexor, flexibility. I struggle with the scorpio variation shown above because I don’t have enough low back flexon. You don’t need as much "archablitiy" lol in your back for the ballerina. There are different ways to pull/hold your leg behind you too…..off to the side a bit or directly behind you, which is much harder!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

Thanks for posting this….I just bought some GREAT shorts at my local lululemon store and I loooooove them. The lady asked my if I was a runner I said, "nope, a pole dancer…I’m always on the hunt for pole dancing short!" She looked at my 4 kids and was like "wow" https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I also love the positive vibe they encourage on their packaging and such.
Their HOT YOGA SHORTS are great for pole….. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I learned on a little blue 250 Kawasaki…made my husband buy it for me so I could take the test on a small bike. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I don’t have that one anymore. My bike (which was my husbands first bike, I encouraged him to buy it cuz I secretly hope I would get to ride it one day). It’s an old one but rare! 1984 Kawasaki, KZ 700 (not a 750) which is a rare find. My husband and I are planing on fixing it up together. He rides a Yamaha, Road Star with the midnight package. I should take a pic, I don’t know why I don’t have one https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
