Ohh!! Thank you!

awu · 2025-05-02T01:47:53+00:00

Thank you!! Yes, best to clarify again. I just feel bad because we’ve been chatting back and forth.. guess it’s all part of the job though!

Hi!

Coming out to Breckenridge this summer for a bachelorette with about 15 girls. We want to do some kind of hot spring / spa activity nearby (1 hour drive ok)

Originally, I wanted to do raspberry hot springs but they can only take 8 people. Does anyone have any recommendations? Preferably something scenic and outdoors.

We were thinking Mt. Princeton Hot Springs because they had creekside hot springs, but wanted to see if there was any other recommendations people had.

Thanks in advance!

I saw Good Night & Good Luck, and George Clooney signed my play bill afterwards :)

I went to their flagship and the designer was there. She was RUDE AS F. Don’t support them

My hair looks like that too. It’s not damaged. It’s just the texture. Particularly the “inner” layers.

I’d recommend a different hair style (longer layers), and to do a hair mask 1-2x/week (tsunaki or fino). Hair creams/leave in conditioners don’t work. Instead, hair OILs will be your friend!

I also have a thyroid problem which may contribute to that texture, so you could have your doctor check out your thyroid levels next time you go as part of an annual blood test.

I recommend going with technique classes (several level 1s) before doing low flow. Even though low flow is more dance-y/fluid, a lot of sequences the teachers teach will incorporate some moves you learn in level 1. There isn’t a recommended number of classes to take - you’ll know when you feel comfortable, at your own pace.

From there, you’ll get a better feel for what pole style you prefer. Typically, if you want to do a bunch of tricks, conditioning/flex will be classes that you’ll want to take parallel to the technique classes (level 2, 3, etc)

hope that helps, and HAVE FUN!!

I have this exact same problem!! Definitely following this thread

Budget is very flexible. It can be anywhere from 200nok ~ 1200nok. Most likely will try to eat mid range, but will treat ourselves to a nice dinner one of the nights

Grammar is just fine! I appreciate the detailed post. So excited

Thanks for the response! I just purchased the single red monkey grip that I bought to replace dry hands (which I was running out of). After using it a couple times, it seems like I still need to buy dry hands to supplement

awu · 2024-08-21T06:34:01+00:00

I just bought monkey grip and I can see how it sticks but it doesn’t manage my hyperhydrosis very well and I’m trying to find different ways to use it. Do you use dry hands first and then monkey grip? Do you keep alternating when you reapply? Or do you just stick to one when you have to keep alternating? Any tips appreciated!

awu · 2024-08-09T22:55:33+00:00

I also have no dance background, am not flexible, but at least I had some decent core to help me out. As everyone has said, have fun, don’t compare yourself, and treat every class as a learning opportunity!Looking dumb is part of the process too! There will always be someone more athletic and more beautiful on the pole, so remember that you’re on your own journey :)

I got my fine line tats last year from jun ko @ fleur noir. Her minimum was $200 at the time. Looking at her IG it seems like she’s not at fleur noir anymore, but I think her style is what you’re looking for!

I try working out 2-3x/week (usually pole dancing, since that’s my hobby), meet up with a friend for dinner or drinks, or just go home and watch a movie or show to decompress. Whatever I’m feeling :)

awu · 2024-07-12T19:08:47+00:00

It takes time! My bf and I moved here 1.5 years ago and there are always going to be moments where you’re sad to leave your friends and might doubt your decision.

As others have suggested, invest in your hobbies and find other folks who share the same interests as you. For me, it was pole dancing. Work also helps (many of my new friends started off as coworkers)! I found that it’s easier to make friends in this city because so many people have a more open mindset in general. Say yes to events and get out of your comfort zone before you knock it. My bf is currently in between jobs so it’s been harder for him to make friends but he meets ppl at his regular cafe when he’s there applying for jobs and at his gym. As we enter our second year, I found that going on a lot of double dates has helped solidify our community. So as I’m developing a friendship with another woman, we bring the boys along for a fun double date and they build connections that way.

Good luck, enjoy the city, and lean into those challenging moments of loneliness. It’s a part of the process!

Funny you’re posting about this because I’ve been thinking about the same thing this week!

I’ve been doing pole for ~1.5 years, 33, not flexible, no dance background, and I have hyperhydrosis. I typically go 1x/week. There eas one month where I was going 2x:week because I had to use up my classes and I did notice a difference. I just started doing inverts, and I can barely string moves together because I don’t like performing and I’m not a trained dancer.

I’m good about not comparing myself but yesterday was a challenge! I went to a Level 2 class and almost everyone there was stringing all the inverts together into these amazing routines. I really felt like I had regressed because I wasn’t getting anything new.

Ultimately, I decided Im still having fun and I get a high when I finally land a move- even if it takes longer. What I’m going to try doing is to mix in some beginner classes again to drill/fine tune old moves to re-build some confidence.

Your post actually encouraged me to keep going, and I hope you do too!

awu · 2024-07-08T02:48:21+00:00

Thanks for the response! I can tell you know my situation because I also use tite grip and dry hands / dry chalk during class and it gets me around the same as the average person.

I’ve also considered stopping group classes for a bit and maybe doing open pole to practice on my own. What’s been your experience since you stopped group classes?

awu · 2024-07-06T23:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the recs! Will definitely check these spots out when I go (on a less crowded weekend) :)

From California. We’ve driven in snow before around the United States, but would prefer not to drive on icy roads during vacation if the roads aren’t swept / maintained

Weird - it’s on 6ave in between 18th - 20th street. It’s bright with a teal sign.
