  I love that the instructor and owner is actually a former stripper! So many pole fitness trainers want to erase sex workers from its history.

  The amount of grip vs slip is a big part. You have to hold enough not to fall on your butt but loose enough you don’t get stuck. It takes a while to get that grip strength dialed in. Fun part is all that then changes when you go to a spinny poll and need all the grip on earth lol.

  &quot;I think something just popped &quot; 😂<br>&quot;No problem, I&apos;ll just tap and release&quot; 😂<br>&quot;Choreo is short for choreography, as the pros say it&quot; 😂😎<br>&quot;The straight stuff is hard for me&quot; 😉<br><br>The pure joy on Alayna&apos;s face throughout this video was AMAZING 💜👏💫

  She wasn’t kidding when she said it usually takes months to do an invert. And to do an invert on a spinny pole without any grip at your waist… that requires a lot of strength and control that someone without a strong background in climbing or acrobatics or somethings doesn’t have. Amazing job Alayna 🎉 and don’t be downhearted if you try pole and it doesn’t go like that. Like they say at the end, there is a great joy in “unlocking” a new level. When I first started, I NEVER imagined how I could ever even do an invert, and now I can do so much more. You get bruises and scrapes and burns but it’s 300% worth it to me. Pole has pushed me mentally (a lot of things are really scary) and physically and I love it for that💃🥰

  as a stripper i’m so glad to see that you went to a former stripper, there’s such an issue in the pole industry of civilians (non SWs/strippers) taking money out of the pockets of strippers, cutting strippers out of the narrative and origins, and overall just appropriating the very same things that marginalize us while providing no material advocacy. the pole fitness industry is actively harming us in a lot of ways and at the same time i think it’s so important for those instructors who are strippers or former strippers to be able to make money and run their businesses within that industry.

  As a queer person, who started pole dancing a few months ago, I was hoping this would happen at some point &lt;3 Pole dancing is so fun and you are really strong (not surprised, I was expecting that). I was extremely weak when I started and I&apos;m still not where I would like to be but I am able to do inverts and a lot of things I didn&apos;t think I would be able to do. So, if you are questioning if you can do this and reading this comment, the answer is yes. It might take you a while to get to this level (what you can see in the video) but you will get there. Also, on Sunday is my 5th lesson of aerial hoop and I love it, too. Honestly, I feel like it&apos;s much easier than pole (so far), so I would love to see you try that as well &lt;3
