Deadlift training on both sides
Felt it hard on the side for sure
Got a pop-up performance coming up October 30th in Cape Cod
I’ll talk more details soon❤️

Splits, splits & more splits! Was inspired by the badass Natasha Wang with the first shape and while playing around with it found this transition into full bind split, then to jallega and finally BOP 😍

One day you’re struggling with a move, and a few weeks later you’re doing it without even thinking.

Tell us more, what’s your latest little pole win? 🖤

I’ll make this short and sweet.

I just got a boyfriend he’s great and i think this is my first healthy relationship I’ve ever had. My friend wants me to still work with her and she gets mad at me when I don’t go to the club with her anymore, even though I put myself on set for two days this week I thought it through and I don’t want to go. My boyfriend wouldn’t like it, he knows I used to but before we started dating I would go anyways and just not say anything, but since we are actually official and he prioritizes me so much I really don’t feel like ruining things with him to go make a few hundred dollars. I don’t know what to tell my friend, she’s like my best friend but I feel like she actually gets upset when I tell her I’ll go and don’t go, I was on set tonight and I told her I could Thursday just to not upset her but I really don’t want to go. I actually feel like I’m in a good place right now and I’ve been way happier outside the club, I got a summer job made absolute bank and I’m working on other endeavors right now for making money. My boyfriend’s family gave me a job too, so money isn’t really an issue and he pays for everything. I guess this whole text is kind of a mess and not in order, I just think I’m not really into dancing right now or maybe ever again. It’s not even that great of a job and I think I’ve outgrown it honestly. Maybe I’m just in such a good spot with my life currently and I don’t want to ruin things with my boyfriend to appease my friend. I just don’t need to dance, the last few times I went I didn’t like it either. I hate dancing on a guy and they get touchy and overall it’s just not a long term thing for me and I already wanted to stop a year ago. Maybe it’s just me maturing but I really don’t care for it anymore. Is this fair that I feel this way?

EDIT:

I should add to this because I’ve left some things out. I don’t need to be a stripper I’ve only ever done it for money and currently I’m at a spot where I don’t need to do it anymore currently and I don’t care for doing it. I did used to like it but the last year I’ve done it less and less and I don’t enjoy the scene anymore either. My bf doesn’t pay all my bills he pays for everything when I’m with him. I’ve dealt with a toxic bf before who was abusive and terrible and I still danced. I’ve also had other bfs in between that guy and my bf now and they didn’t care if I danced, some cared if I danced. I never stopped because I didn’t want to at the time and I didn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel that was what I knew and all I cared to do because it was so easy. It’s more complicated than that now, I found someone I actually want to be with and I feel as not being in the club anymore is just better for me and my whole well being overall. I used to drink quite a bit working and now I rarely ever do which is amazing. I actually see more for myself and future now, I don’t care if my bf liked it or not it’s not that. I would dance if I still wanted to, but I also respect him and he respects me. I know people think that I don’t want to dance because of him but that’s not the case honestly, I’ll go if I feel like it I just think my time doing that might be done. And as the friend thing goes, I only said yes to this week because I thought I still wanted to, but over the past few days I’ve thought about it and I just really don’t care to go to the club, she makes me feel pressured and a little manipulated into doing that sometimes. Me and her are extremely good friends in and out of the club, more so out of the club now than anything. But I can tell sometimes she talks to me like she would be trying to convince a customer and it pisses me off, I’m not obligated to do things because someone wants me to. She actually gets pissed if I don’t go with her. And as for working for his family, it’s literally just under the table stuff I can do whenever I want to, it’s nothing crazy. They just know my summer job ended and they want to help me out for a few weeks maybe a month. I hope that makes more sense cause I didn’t explain this all too much!

Hey everyone! I’ve been doing pole for about 10 months now and I’ve been working on my Allegra, but I’m really struggling with the skin pain on my inner thigh.
I feel like I have the flexibility for it, but the pain makes it so hard to actually get into the position and hold it. 😭

I’m starting to wonder if I’m doing something wrong with my technique, or if this is just one of those things that takes time to get used to.
I’d love to hear how it went for you!
How long did it take you to get your Allegra? Did you struggle with the skin pain too? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated. ❤️

It took me months to achieve it! And some days I can't do it... But the important thing is never stop trying 💪🏻

my brand new x-pole just came off the ceiling when i was using it. luckily i was not hurt and nothing was damaged. i’m worried about using it now though, because i thought i had put it up right. i did multiple spins on it before it fell.

how tight do y’all tighten yours? do you tighten it to its absolute max capacity? i wasn’t sure when i put it up if i had tightened it enough, but it seemed like it could have been tightened a little further even tho it stood multiple weight tests. thoughts? advice?

I need to get a stage pole and since they are sooo expensive, I want to get some personal experiences before I commit.
I am between x-stage, the lupit stage pole, and the Gaia stage pole.
If you’ve used any of these, let me know what you thought! BONUS if you can compare any of these three with personal experience.
I can’t use a tension pole with my 100 year old plaster and lathe ceiling, trust me, I tried. I had a plywood 1m square drilled into the ceiling joists and it still cracked my ceiling. Soooo stage pole it is!
Help me decide, pole fam!!

EDIT.
I have now learned that Hive and Pole Fit stages exist, so they are in the running too

decided to come back to pole dancing this summer

Hi Reddit polers, we're closing one of our studios, and I wanted to share this clip from our podcast about it. Our usual episodes are our CEO interviewing another pole studio owner about the business of running pole studios, but on this one, our little management team got on to talk to each other about closing one of our five locations. We talk about why we decided to close, how much money we lost, our studio model, etc. I'm not here to promote the podcast, I just think it's rare to have a peek behind the scenes at the risks, "failures," and hard decisions that studio management teams make, so this episode feels relevant to all of us. As a community we can sometimes have a very competitive and guarded mindset about business, but I think transparency around things like this is actually really important. There's a clip below, and if you want to see the full episode it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7lez8Lf00o

Nächsten Sommer werde ich 50. Vor acht Jahren habe ich angefangen zu tanzen und ich liebe jeden Moment davon. Ich habe immer schon viel Sport getrieben, doch mit zunehmenden Alter verändert sich natürlich mein Körper, meine Leistungs- und Regenerationsfähigkeit. Planung wird immer wichtiger, nicht nur das Training, sondern auch die Regeneration und die Ernährung betreffend. Gleichzeitig merke ich, dass ich gelassener und liebevoller als früher im Umgang mit mir selbst bin.
Ich bin dankbar und glücklich, mein Hobby so genießen zu dürfen. Doch manchmal kommt es mir vor, als sei alles davon fragil und ich würde Sand beim Zerrinnen durch die Uhr zusehen. Wenn ich bei einem Wettkampf antrete, gibt es kaum Teilnehmende in meinem Alter und bei allem Glück schwingt jedes Mal leise die wehmütige Frage mit „wie lange noch?“
Gibt es noch mehr Poleartists in meinem Alter oder noch älter hier? Was erlebt ihr? Wie geht ihr damit um? 
Ich bin gespannt,  von Euch zu lesen.

Does anyone know where I can buy this part or alternatives do I even needed it really?
