Ah .. I get it...and it sucks

Ok..so I get it now…remember when I discussed the advanced dancers in my beginner 1 pole class (check this link)? Well now I understand their pain. The pain of ‘the hottie that wants to be in advanced but still needs to build her strength in beginner 2 but only beginner 1 is available.’

Yup, that’s a thing now. I stand in the back corner hating every minute…hoping the instructor just ignores my irritated presence…..worst part is that it is the only pole class available to me…I don’t get a workout and sometimes I have to share a pole. I hate it. I’m miserable.

 I did not come to meet people and share life stories. I came to dance. I’ve sent emails and the Vixens have made it clear that I just gotta wait and hope….plus I cannot transfer the membership. Fine. Understandable. But I am wasting time…it’s not even the money…it’s the time. I’m not going to grow at all in beginner 1. That shit is for people who need to dip their feet in the pole water.

I like to jump right the fuck in….

I need a beginner 2 class…someplace to build my strength, learn some new moves and just dance it out….oh but wait....to do that I have to leave work early, or get up at 10 am on my only day off….fuck that shit.

Of course there are other classes- Pilate's, Chair dance, flex stuff, aerials…great…but that is what is filling my schedule and none of that has me dancing on a pole…...letting my sexy out on a safe, glass free dance floor….and, let’s face it, you can get that shit free from the Internet! I’m not paying $100 a month for that.

I guess I just need to turn my storage area into a studio…hmm….Dear Santa…..

In the meantime, any know of a pole studio that allows for a mostly pole schedule?!

It's not new...

I re-started my pole dance classes this week. Good times at Brass Vixens, but its not about the socializing for me, I do it to stay in shape. I have been pole dancing/fitnessing for about 10 years. I have done it across two countries and been awarded for passes from level 1 to extreme. I have done performances live and Brass Vixens is my 5th studio. So I am not new to this.

What I am noticing though, now that I am back at a commercial studio—there are women who really act as if they discovered this poke thing. They show up to a beginner class to show off that they can do inverted moves. Really…seriously. If you have that skill you practice it during practice time or the appropriate class. You should not be doing it in a beginners class.

Only one teacher so far has requested no inverted's in beginner but that’s it.

 The issue with this is that it is a beginner class in an intimidating activity. Some women already feel out of shape or as if they do not belong, but want to feel sexy. That is why they are in the pole class. Having another student that clearly should not be allowed in a beginners class is a disrespect to them. It may taint their view on the studio or the whole idea of pole dancing.

That’s why I left Flirty Girl Fitness. Too many skinny bitches complaining that they are fat trying to out do each other passive aggressively. Nonsense. I am sure I have moves and routines that can dance circles around them. But once I get my strength back, I’m leaving beginners. It’s the right thing to do.

So I’m just gonna say: Pole dancing is a great way to get in shape and feel like a hottie, but bitches that cannot stop being the centre of attention or support other women are fucking the whole thing up. How nice would it be if women weren’t such haters.

I guess it is like a strip club.

Single on a Saturday: Goodbye my little friend

Like watching a child go to
school for the first time

No, no one died.

I got rid of my XPole. The piece of equipment that I worked hard to get. After months of research, I saved up that $450 and ordered this lovely tool. Adjustable, removable, spinner….ahh…pole delight.

I kept it up in my other apartment and used it regularly. Then I moved and it never saw light again.

I needed to find it a good home and word of mouth spread. A trust worthy party place has now taken her on.  They get to dust her off and give her a good romp at the club. Perhaps we will hang out once again…but for now I am planning to pick up a membership at Brass Vixens to get my pole fill.

Stay tuned....Saturday Night Shenanigans return next weekend...My Vegas Easter Birthday!!

Do a little dance...make a little love

I've used the sexy arts to get fit and they work. I have been pole dancing/fitness....ing for over 7years (on and off-->currently off and going back); I have taken muliple hoop classes, participated in two levels of an arials course and let my body be toned in multiple flex fitness classes. All a good idea. I have a hard time getting into shape. The regular routines bore me so the more fun and challenging it is, the harder I work at it. The results come within four weeks (at about 2-3 hours a week).  Its well worth the pain in places you never knew could hurt.

Here's an article that was sent my way:
