XP: I'm starting pole

[wambam]

In addition to my next level aerial hoop. So I'll be pole dancing starting 2/17. Betchya can't get THAT image out of your head

Pole is hard

(Giggle)

But I am interested to hear about how you like it. There is a class where I take my dance class and I am amazed by what these ladies can do.

I *really* like aerial hoop. It came so naturally to me and I am thrilled to be moving on to the next level. So maybe I'll love pole too? IDK.

It is so cool that you have those activity options there! I'm jealous!

Nerdy question: How do they verify that the equipment is safe? I love the idea, but I would be worried that I was the unlucky kid who came crashing to the ground after an equipment failure.

My BFF who is the most paranoid person in the world, has done silks there for over a year, so I figure it's safe  

There are also crash pads underneath and the hoop is really not that high off the ground.

Enjoy! Pole is super hard but at the time I tried I had no upper body strength.

What kind of abilities do you think you need for hoop? Strength? Flexibility?

Upper body strength (pulling) and core strength.

That sounds like so much fun!

[juliabug]

That is awesome. I am still jealous of your hoop class.

[wambam]

Update: I think I convinced my BFF to join me!

[blndsnbrdr]

I've done a few pole classes, just intro.

So much fun but yea...I need to work on upper body + core strength! Apparently I also need to work on my booty pop, but that's a whole different story...

I've done pole at 4 different studios here and in Cape Town and all the studios had the poles that are bolted in to the ceiling. It's not like they have the mobile poles that some people have in their homes or that travel with them.

Unless there was a serious malfunction with the ceiling, I'd think it'd be pretty impossible for there to be an equipment failure.
