Big Curvy Love: Plus Size Pole Dancing

Welcome to The Curvy Chronicles. I'd love you to join me on my quest for Big Curvy Love.This week PLUS SIZE POLE DANCING!

I’ve always wanted to do pole dancing class in Studio City as it’s a skill that will surely round out my repertoire in my quest for Big Curvy Love. Tragically, I had resigned myself to the fact that this would never happen due my inability to launch my big booty in the air!

That was until I discovered THIS video

Wow! That Plus Size Primadonna has got it and damn it I’m gonna be like her and twerk that pole for all its worth!! I don’t even care about the stripper pole equivalent of chub rub bruising the inner thighs. I’ll consider it a badge of honor on my journey to be a plus size provocateur.

I got my GROUPON and signed up for an 8 week Pole Dancing course. I thought I’d ask a professional instructor if she had many inquiries from potential Plus Size Pole Dancers or if most gals, like myself, were also reluctant to wrap their luscious limbs around the pole.

Here’s what Bella from Bella’s Pole Studio’s wrote:

I get a lot of questions from larger girls asking if they can or even if they should give pole dancing a try. I say to them “you are only ever limited by yourself!” Many students have walked out of Bella’s Pole Studios fitter and stronger after doing a pole dancing class as it’s a form of exercise and a great all-round fun and fitness routine, incorporating all elements of fitness. You get stronger even in the very first lesson as it helps to build your core strength and increase coordination, flexibility and provides all-over body tone.

I’ve seen large women flying around the pole and creating wonderful friendships and great memories in my classes and remember smaller ladies are just as scared. Pole dancing also boosts confidence and self-esteem and can help you feel sensually empowered.

Don’t feel discouraged by your size or age. You are fabulous just because you are you and not because of your size, shape or weight. You have every right to take up space in a pole dancing class or anywhere else you so choose! So don’t feel that pole dancing is something you cannot do, it is!

First week of class is next week so standby for more posts on my Plus Size Pole dancing pursuits.
