Pole Class

When I first decided to start pole dancing/fitness, the idea of going to a class was intimidating.  Yes, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that everyone in the beginner class would be new to pole.  That everyone would look awkward and some probably wouldn't even be able to do a single spin like me. 

But the real issue wasn't how BAD I was.  The issue was my weight.  My size. 

Yes, pole dance is for everybody.  every body.  I see that on just about every pole page I visit.  I have even seen some fabulous women that pole dance (and are pretty advanced in moves) and they weigh more than I do (based on their statements of weight)

So, obviously weight/size isn't a huge deal in the pole dancing community.  Obviously larger girls are able to pull off inversions, pole climbing, and spins. 

I've spent the past few months working on pole at home, by myself.  I'm past the beginner moves, and working on my intermediate stuff.  I have lost some weight, but I'm still big (I'm ok with being big, I'll ALWAYS be big, lol)  But, I find myself wanting to start a pole class.

I want to talk with other people who love the pole as much as I do.
I want to watch other people learn.
I want to get advice and help from someone who has been poling longer than I have.
I want to help my fellow pole lovers advance by offering my advice.

I can't start a pole class until September.  But I look forward to it....it's on my countdown of awesome things to happen (including my Medusa tattoo)
