New Poler in the Midwest :)

TigerLily05 started this discussion · 10/16/2009

Hello everyone! 😀 I'm from Northern Minnesota where its nice and chilly, but I intend to warm it up with my new skill! (at least at home). I have wanted to do this for a few years and my husband finally gave in. I just got my pole and I am raring to get spinning. I have no classes in my area, so I will be trying to learn from books and dvds. Any advice, tips, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. FYI-You ladies are the reason I've become a member- you are beautiful, inspiring and so confident! I am really looking forward to joining your community, learning and being challenged. -TigerLily XoXoX

Welcome Tigerlily!! There are a lot of great dvd's out there...Jamilla's Art of Pole is my biggest recommendation! I hope you share your progress with us!! Stop by chat on Fridays!

I love MN. I grew up in ND but lived in Minneapolis for 5yrs and moved out here to CA, just over a year ago! I don't know of to many good pole books but, don't forget I have lessons right here 👍 Stay warm ☀️ ☀️ 🦌

Thank you for your welcomes and suggestions... I certainly will be watching the "Art of Pole" website for the price drop 😉 . So far the only book I've gotten any moves out of is the "S-factor" by Shelia Kelley- great workout too.

Welcome! I have the art of pole and s-factor book. I find the book helpful for warm-ups and floor work but being able to watch the moves actually happen is sooooo helpful. I def recommend the set. And people always rav about veena's lessons too so that is a good option as well.
