Yes! I am a former massage therapist & I am well aware of the stereotype people have about our profession. It's sad how quickly people judge something they have little understanding or appreciation for. Especially when the profession is involved in creativity, expression &/or good-will
Pole dancing isnt always about seing sexy, some people just want it for a fantastic workout. No one in a class is going to care if your butts big or if you fall on your butt.Its all about a workout and learning something new. Hell knows i had as much of a hard time as girl on the left. But i got better with practice. Find those songs that bring out the sexiness and go with it
This is great. We just installed a fitness pole in our gym room at my house and I've been looking for something like this video to start working out with it. It's way more fun than boring normal workout routines. I invited a few people over after telling them I got a pole and it ended up being a house party of about 35-40 people and the pole was a HUGE hit. So much fun! :) It feels like an adult merry-go round. You get dizzy!
you can tell this is pole fitness and not a dance. she is teaching them to get more strength in their upper and lower body.. plus she is breaking it down for them..I think this is awesome!!
I am in pole classes. It's really hard. The arm strength required is enormous. You cannot gain the necessary arm strength required to do basic inverts from just one class a week. You need to do other workouts whether with weights or on the pole. It's amazing cardio and strengt and it's a lot of fun.
Oh Glasnya Rose don't worry its not their first day obviously, and most places have the lights dimmed in beginner classes so you feel more comfortable. It is really fun. And you can def do these moves because they require momentum only no actual strength (yet). TAKE THOSE CLASSES! You won't regret it I swear!
I really like the instructor's explanation of how to start the spins. The strengthening practice is something I will incorporate into my practices. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!
There are different class types. POLE fitness is pole work, pole tricks, and pole workouts and stretching. At the studio I started going to there is sexy silhouettes which is the dance portion. There are also "Open Pole" classes where you can come in and combine your training in both and pole and dance. For safety you can't teach all of that to a beginning class. My first day was pretty tough learning some of the basic transitional moves. When you are learning and everything is slowed down you get a real good workout. It is very hard doing everything slow motion.
My class practices 15 minutes of yoga, stretching, and some aerobics. This does not mean this instructor didn't do the same! You wouldn't film all of the warm up. GREAT job! All of the girls show confidence, and are very brave to allow themselves to be taped. Women are suppose to support each other. No divas or critical women have been in any of he classes i have been a part of...regardless of age or size.
My mom, sisters and I are planning a day to go to a drop in pole class. This video is really helpful, because now I know what I know what I might be dealing with.
actually i started the class because i wanted to see what it's like. i won't stop going even when we start to dance but i won't be a dancer at a club or sth. i feel good and see a difference in my body while doing this so to me it's like any other exercise i've done before only more difficult
Hello there. I am new to poling & have a pole at home I really love your class & the way that you instruct. I will be practicing to your class all the time. Thank you very much. Be safe. Enjoy your day. Keep smiling.
I love it ! People should keep their negative feedback to themselves ! How would you like it if somebody said that about your stuff ?! Just because you don't like it doesn't mean nobody else does ! Just negative people with negative personalities. Instead of saying something negative, maybe you should try saying something like I think it would look better in such and such instead of saying it looks hideous or nauseous ! Be safe and keep smiling everybody
I just bought one that doesn’t spin and I’ve been working on my Twirls and walking around it now I’m going to use everything. I learned so far but this time do it in heels.
It's nice to see that they are giving these tips to up and coming dancers. It's really hard to find some proper talent these days in some of the strip joints.
For those who comment about the younger girl on the left sham on you! She is trying...If more people could put actions in place where there mouth goes they would be amazed! This is not an easy task to accomplish! Especially for a young girl who has no muscle memory yet! As for the instructor, she has a routine worked out for her class to keep them safe and still learn at the same time. People sure do have big mouths when there is no one to face in the end. I would like to see your videos!
It's so different from the pole dancing lessons I get. We only have 4 poles and our teacher (after warm-up) shows us a move then we do the move. This way she can see what we're doing wrong and who needs a little nudging. I would just love to have a lesson with so many poles!
Thank you for the video. I think I might have to try this- it seems like a good work out and an opportunity to boost my confidence while learning something new
@Fluffica123 thanks. just got home from my 3rd pole class, and i couldnt do anything right. but you are right, i am no longer as bas as i was before. still bad at it though, i almost feel like giving up. i couldnt keep up with the other girls, i still cant climb right. but i can at least pull myself up against the pole from a sort of sitting position on my first step up. which is in fact an improvement. so i guess i should just try more and wait where it gets me next.
@bokitademicha hi. i read your comment and can totally relate. i am a beginner too and getting really frustrated because i am in a class where others are just better, even if they claimed that they just started too. that's why i dont know if it's normal not to be able to climb and spin on the first day because they all could do them but i cant!
I happen to be a dancer for 23 yrs .This is a workout not a dance ..I just don't understand what you don't get ?I am NOT teaching people to dance I am teaching them strength!!!
I have a question? Hopefully someone will know the answer. I have MS and I really want to take this class, Would I be allowed? and Where can I find the information about this class
Great Job ladies beautiful basic pole work out...keeping the class I love it..FORMER FULL TIME POLE FITNESS IN STRUCTOR OF SURPRISE POLE LESSONS...also beautiful studio I love it gorgeous gold poles ..Stay AWSOME ladies keeping it classy
I would /never/ ever take calsses at this place.... This is awful awful awful instruction... RUN to the pole?! AYFKM? You won't develop muscle if you use outside momentum for static tricks... Oh this is.... Awful. And horrifying. The instructor isn't even using proper names for half of these moves.... ..... So so so so so so so grateful for my studio right now...
I've been searching for a pole dancing class in my area, but there are none offered. Thinkin I need to just purchase a pole & learn on my own. Ugh. I want to learn SO BAD!
Am I missing something? This is pole fitness not pole dancing - if the pole was horizontal no one would bat an eyelid but turn it vertical and it becomes something to get in a knot about? Try watching Oona Kivela to see this world champion of pole fitness (who incidentally started out as a gymnast). She is a true athlete! Well done to everyone in this class! I wish I was this good!
you can do the pole fitnessbasics there are alot of strenght stuff in that video ..also push ups and sit ups since the pole is mostly upper body strength :)
yay good!!!:) So the only thing I do know is there is a thing called the POLE DANCE DICTIONARY ..its free so you can look up tricks and they have multiple levels and it breaks down the tricks for you :) hope this is helpful :)
They don't look really graceful, kinda robotic even the teacher. Their diamond spin looked executed poorly, the martini spin too. They flex the foot instead of pointing.
+Jade Rose It's pole fitness, not pole dance, you have to start with something, they will make it look better after learning basics. Try it, then judge ;D;D
I understand what you mean the body tip some of the girls were just jumping and then I was confused on why they were they fast walking when we learned basic moves we learned them in a routine so we always did the vixen walk and all that but this doesn't make it look fun like it really is aside from it being a workout
I'm a year late to the party, I realize, but Jade is absolutely correct. It's hard to watch all the things this instructor is doing wrong and therefore passing on to her students. The instructor needs to get back to basics and take some training herself.
@bokitademicha Hay dos tamaños del "pole" - 45 mm o 50 mm. Es más fácil tener contacto con las manos en el 45 mm (para la mayoria de gente). Pienso que ud. no va a perder el pecho en hacer "pole dancing" pero se hace mucho más fuerte en todo el cuerpo. Al principio, es difícil, pero es muy divertido. (Y lo siento, mi español no es perfecto)
soounds good, but how can you put a pole in your house? i mean, you can't do it on your own...and btw how does a pole cost? i'd like to have one too....
Lmao front left kept distracting me, listen to the teacher! You clearly weren't paying attention and you just kept failing.. Crack up! Don't give up though, just fucking listen lol
You should really be less judgemental and open your mind. Pole dancing has become such an art. And like gymnastics you need strength and dedication. Some tricks I land were so painful to master. I would never do that for anyone else but myself. To say, yes I can do that. And yes it is both beautiful and amazing. If you watch pole dancing videos for competition most aren't sexual. They're more for the skills and strength and talent.
Please tell me you know the difference between Pole Dancing and Pole Fitness. I clearly says in the title of the video that this is a POLE FITNESS class.
I wish i was close to....ive had two kids and want to get into pole dancing because its a great way to loose weight fast and it make a girl feel sexy again. I cant wait to get my pole!!!!
Love this video!! i just started to take pole dance lessons.It always looks so easy but its actully pretty hard-but so much fun! Which pole would you recommend to use at home?? thanks for the upload-i subscribed :)
I´m from mexico, and i tried to practice this. I think that it's very dificult, I just went once and obviusly i paid for a month more, but I just went once and obviously i paid for a month more, but at the pass a few days, I felt really bad, I went to the doctor and he said that my muscle was broken... and I don´t know what happened.
