I'd love to be able to do what you can do
Seriously. So would Ms Foxtrot

I thangyou
it's not that tricky, it's just strength and ability to withstand pain.

I've got the whiniest girl in my beginners class, she's doing my head in. Every time she tries to do anything she stops in the middle and whines that it hurts. I tried to be sympathetic, then I was more blunt, now I just want to tell her to MTFU.

It's supposed to hurt! Isn't it?
From what my very basic experience of pole dancing has led me to believe, the difference between those who can do it and those who can't is fucking impressive arm, core and thigh muscles. Otherwise bloody everyone would do it!

You build it up as you go along so theoretically anyone could have a go
even lolfatties can do it, it just takes them longer to build up enough muscles to support their larger frames. And theoretically they should get thinner doing it.

It does indeed hurt, the friction causes pole burn. But you build up a resistance to it. That is of course unless you insist on stopping every time you get the slightest twinge and then wrapping a bloody jumper around your arm to protect it, thereby losing all grip and stability. Grrr.

Yes it hurts
It's exercise, if it doesn't hurt/burn then you're not doing it properly. With pole dancing there are also the bruises, but hanging upside down by your legs is awesome!

Christ, you too?
Is it catching?

A friend of mine does it, and teaches it sometimes too
A few of us had a laugh on the pole a few times, it's fun! My best trick is running at it, jumping, grabbing, and spinning around it like a loon.

Yes, that is the best bit so far :-)
We actually have a pole at home so that Ms Foxtrot can practice. Have only been on it when drunk thus far though
