Sweet Gratitude!

I saw Tiff's tute this morning before work and resolved to try it the minute I got home. A few commenters had noticed an error in the direction of the dom hand (thumb should be up, not down)--including Shelly, Tiff, and I think Boomloulou, in a PM.

Veena also made a concrete suggestions about hand and arm placements.

But I couldn't visualise the hand placement at all in my mind until I saw the Simplly Sweet Demo.

As soon as I got home, I favorited the vid, watched the segment over and over 5-6 times. My butt was up over my head on the second attempt, LOL!

Practice got cut short when Laurie called for dinner, but I got the pose up twice for a second or two. Now I'm stuffed and I can't practice because she made biscuits and honey and I had four of them and a beer, too!

@fifimsp Thank You! I agree with you 100%. It's just a pole and the style is whatever the person brings to the art form or to physical fitness. Thanks for being so supportive. By the way, I am one of the many polers on facebook, if you participate in the on-line pole community. /Joel Lessing

I am very happy to see you on Youtube. We only have one man at our studio. He takes private lessons. I think it's great that men are getting into this. I'm sure you get lots of crap for being a man who pole dances. I heard one guy ask me about the guy at our studio and saying he doesn't understand this because pole dance is a feminine form of dance. I think men are showing that it can be taken both ways. The tricks are the tricks, style is what makes it masculine or feminine.

@bangbangkitty25 Thanks for watching the video and taking time to leave a comment, Bangbangkitty. The simple reason "why" is because pole is fun and a great workout. And pole is a great social experience, too!
