I started pole dancing two months ago and I’ve been using Indi pole online studio and loooving the workshops! Feeling like I am finding my style

Hi all! I am fairly new to pole (4 months or so) and am getting into some intermediate classes. As part of that I am thinking of getting my first heels to better participate - I am a mens size 11-12 depending on brand, any good recommendations on where to find pole heels in that size? Also any recommendations on height and style to start?

I have never worn or walked in heels for context. Appreciate your thoughts!

(trying to respond, the quality came out horrible earlier LOL)

I've been pole dancing for about two months now and I'm loving it - went for my first choreo class today and I feel like I'm slowly getting there with not looking like a completely uncoordinated idiot, LOL

I'm starting to develop a love for all moves that have scorpio as a starting base, but my entrance to scorpio is always the same: leg switch or directly from inverted chopper. Are there any transitions that come to your mind?

What days/times do you find that you have the most engagement/views when posting pole videos on instagram? I know algorithms can vary depending on content and audience, so just curious if anyone’s noticed trends when it comes to pole vids. For myself it feels like M-F around 5pm local time seems to be a sweet spot, and Sunday evenings can be a big hit or miss. Friday and Saturdays seem to be the worst for engagement.

Here is a little choreo for funsies. Started in January, and have been focusing on active flexibility the last two months. It’s hard! I feel like I’ve plateaued. I can do passive splits, but active is a different story. I can also do a lot more barefoot, but it’s not as cute lol. I’ve been training active flexibility with Roxie Nebel YT vids and movesmethod. Any other advice to improve those leg lines and just like, finally get an Ayesha? lol 😂!!

Please help!

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible but for some context - I ordered a Lupit G2 quick lock pole earlier this year and had issues with the hex screws in part A. Basically one of the screws wouldn’t tighten because the internal component was threaded and the screw wouldn’t latch. I was sent a replacement part for Part A (the base) and set it up today.

Is it meant to spin for longer/faster? I looked it up and it said it could be due to being overtightened so I have loosened it as much as I possibly can before the pressure is released, and still doesn’t feel quite right.

i’ve been pole dancing nearly a year now, and lately i’ve been itching to buy another pair. so far i have a pair of the dark tinted clear flamingo 808s and just a pair of black boots. i’ve really been eyeing the silver chromes lately or a pair of nude heels 😍

I started pole in January, this is how far i’ve come on my own. I do not and have never been to a studio , but I did work in the club. I made a little capcut video. I still have so much to learn !

how do y’all find photographers to do pole photoshoots? are people all just personally connected to photographers or do you just look up photographers and randomly dm them? just about everyone i follow on my pole insta seems to have done a cool photoshoot at some point and i’m baffled

I’ve been poling for over 3 yrs and generally skirt that upper-intermediate line, dabbling in more advanced tricks like twisted sister & Ayesha, but still with plenty of work to do in lower-level moves. Although I haven’t been diagnosed w hEDS or anything formal (yet), I’m learning that my body is somewhat hypermobile. Along with that, I’ve got a total noodle torso, with insanely knotted stress-posture traps and very little natural engagement of my mid-back muscles, which I get the impression are pretty weak compared to the rest of me.

Shoulder mounts are my absolute ENEMY, and although I’ve done them successfully before, they often regress to the point that I’m almost in tears in the inter/advanced class at my pole studio. I can do negatives, hangs, crunches, etc., but when it gets to keeping my back from rounding and getting my big ol’ bum to go UP past just about the perpendicular-to-pole point, I am STRUGGLING. I’ve considered just leveling down bc they are really a prerequisite move, but I’m able to safely and successfully access a lot of the other stuff in class, and was essentially placed in this class by my instructors to begin with.

Does anyone have some good evidence-based resources to share about how to train shoulder mounts w this sort of hypermobile profile? I’m totally open to off-the-pole training, other regressions, or even just helpful cues. I’ve gotten some advice already from folks at the studio, but feel like I need to hear from someone who knows about hypermobile bodies specifically. Apologies if this is duplicating any previous posts! I’m still learning this platform.

TL;DR how do knotty-shouldered, noodly mid-back polers achieve a strong shoulder mount?

Are there any good brands out there? Pleasers quality has been in decline for a while but this is the second pair of sandals that have broken in this same spot this year. I’ve worn this 5 times. I’ve never had this issue in the past. I had a student in my one of my classes with brand new boots that also broke like this. I don’t like Hella Heels either because they hurt my feet and fall apart at the same rate for more money.

Show must go on.

Hey Beauties! I’m just getting started with pole. I won’t be able to attend a class regularly due to finances, but I don’t want that to stop my progress either. What are some of your favourite home routines to continue to build strength and skills? What are some favourite home setups? I’ve seen some solid YouTube videos as well, any favourites on that front? I’m so excited for this challenging and fun exercise routine! Thanks for all your thoughts :)

I think I might be Chuck Norris 2.0…😎

I've started going to a begginer pole class at the start of October and I feel like we're moving too fast and I can't keep up 😖 this Wednesday we did the ballerina and today we did lotus and the libellula and I'm barely keeping up 🥲🥲 I was wondering if it's normal going this fast? or if I just need to train more and try again. the biggest problem that I have is that whenever we do a figure we don't do it again for a while, and when we do it's in a combo. I'd also like to add that I'm a bit out of shape, and I started pole to change that, and I know that this might be a factor in how I'm feeling. so, do you have any advice for me?

First time doing it. I really struggle with this type of leg hook since it doesn’t feel as secure as the other ones. I was also on my period and in crazy pain so excuse my non pointed toes lol

hey, I'm just getting into Pole and I am on the hunt for a budet-ish pole for home, preferably a tension mounted, I was looking into MEMAX, and VEVOR because I am only doing the basics, and nothing crazy, literally have done one class where I learnt back and front hooks basically.

I'd like to know people's thoughts on these brands and whether they will be suitable, I do have friends who like pole as well and will give it a twirl but aren't doing inverts or hanging upside down, mostly just jump and spin and hope for the best kinda girls.

Me, I am looking to develop the strength, learn very basic spins etc, eventually would like to progress to Aesha etc kinda tricks, but don't have the $$ to fund an XPOLE at this point in time.

So any perspectives from fellow pole peeps would be amazing 💗
