I love, love, love that the teacher’s body looks like mine!! I was talking myself out of going to my first pole dancing class but now seeing this video, I’m more motivated than ever to go to the class!! Thank you so very much for posting this video!!
Pole dancing is a real addiction. It's so much fun, you get so strong, and the community is so open and welcoming. And Roz is always a freaking delight!
Hello Emily, I bought my pole off of Amazon for $85, and I installed it myself, didn't take long, but it was a tad bit of a workout, key point though is having a level for vertical installs, not expensive either, you can get on at any hardware store.
You can definitely see the confidence built up with her. This is such a good way to enhance confidence. Pole dancing is art, and that's why not all can do this art. I see this as art.
Who is this FABULOUS TEACHER?!? She needs to be my friend! And this young lady is so cute when she gets happy-she turns into a jumping bean!!! LOVE IT!!!
Azadeh Valanejad, thank you for this video. You and Roz are such an inspiration. You raised my energy and i feel so good! I am about to start this kind of classes. Afrer i saw you, i am sorry i can’t join, but i am so happy i can follow you on social media. Xoxo
divaamba29 agreed her style and character is full of charisma and spicy very agressive but in a good way i love it so much and yea she is so pretty when she gets all happy its like a little cute puppy dog
I meann if u need to lose weight bc you're unhealthy and its causing problems for u.. seeing an overweight pole dancer doing her thing doesn't change anything but ig its ur life
I'm overweight too but I do go to the gym and lift weights. But your body adapts so in the process you'll be able to lift your own body weight. I was able to fo figure 4 on my first day bexause I've been lifting weights for the past 3 months so definitely had that advantage.
Taking a pole class was one of the most humbling and painful things I have ever done... if you think you're fit, think again... you're using muscles in ways you never expected, I was so black and blue... Roz is AMAZING, I am SO taking one of her classes in NYC, so glad she's local... her energy and positivity is infectious... this girl absolutely rocked it, watching her progress was great! Congrats on your achievement girl, you looked great!
Silk ᗰᗩᖇᐯEᒪ you can be any weight and healthy. Your not her doctor. She’s active I’m sure she’s healthy. And she’s comfortable in her own skin. So why do u care
Have just started at age 65 - the buzz after a class is fabulous and even though I take longer than the “youngsters” I feel so included. Everyone celebrates everyone. The best fun!
This is literally how you get hooked. You tank the first time. By the second class, you're like, "This is so much fun, and so hard, but I'm getting it!" By the 5th, you lose most of your clothing. Every new move or any progress is such a huge accomplishment. 1 year in, and I'm still in LOVE with it! I'm not afraid to try the provocative moves anymore 😉😉 Added bonus.... I've gained so much damned confidence!! I've never encountered another more supportive and body positive environment than pole class with women of all types ❤❤❤❤
Has it helped you gain physical fitness? And a toned figure? I’m not into weight loss or anything but I would really like to be in “shape” .. it’s sth I have lost after giving birth .. I really like toned bodies (thin or plump) .. so I’m wondering if pole dancing could be the answer to my fitness concerns
Hi, just jumping in the middle of the subject I've always been skinny and pole really helps tone and settle your muscles, I can actually feel how strong I am, it's really cool to be surprised by your own strenght when you didn't knew you had it. There's this poledance teacher who had a baby not long ago and she posts about her recovery on instagram camilacosta1990, her baby is one year and a half old I think... Bottom line here is: I think it's a perfectly good idea, I love pole and hope you will love it too. :)
Signed up for a class after watching a few videos like these.. it's the best.. my legs are destroyed and covered in bruises, but my confidence level has gone up and Im gaining muscle on areas I didn't even know we're possible haha anyone who wants to try something really fun, should give it a try.. I love my courses because all the women around you are so positive and encouraging..
Your video has inspired me to start pole dancing and I’ve got to say I’ve never been more confident and happy in my life. Six months in and it’s only a beginning :)
I used to suffer from body dysmorphia, and the secondary psychological issues like eating disorders and OCD caused by my body dysmorphia. One day I just woke up, decided to do something good for myself and joined a pole-class. Best thing I've ever done for myself. I don't have any OCD-type of thinking about physical appearance anymore. Thanks pole!
Yeeeiiiiii there are ppl like you that motivate me to stay teaching in this sport!! U are gorgeous and I’m so happy u can see it! Best comment ever! Congrats
Can I Just say... I love her teacher. She is so motivational and throws her energy to the girl learning and it’s just a happy place it seems! I love it!
Wow, I’ve never seen a body type that so much resembles my own, I bought a pole and It’s on its way and I started to get nervous that I’ll never be good because of my body size… but now I’m really inspired and excited. Almost cried because of how amazing she is
I have ZERO body strength and i was able to lift myself up on the first day! Its a lot easier than you might think, your body can do things you dont even know :)
It’s so cool to see her confidence grow. I feel like one of women’s biggest issues is that often times we don’t take ourselves seriously because of a lifetime of misogyny. We are powerful!!
Girl, if you haven't started yet, get going! I started a little over 3 months ago. I was a little bit overweight, I was weak with no strength, AND I'm about to turn 50. I have tried nearly every gym in my area and so many types of workouts. I never lasted at any for more than a month. I felt so intimidated, but I went. Everyone is encouraging and supportive. There are men and women of all sizes, all backgrounds, all different athletic abilities. Even when I'm next to an athletically built 20 year old in class I don't feel out of place! I have never loved any activity as much as I do this.
I adore how incredibly supportive the instructor is! This would be such an out-of-comfort zone experience, and she's so straightforward and encouraging. Amazing!
I love how your coach is so free hearted and motivating. You can see your confidence grow even in your outfit change the confidence level is so much higher. Can’t wait until my pole arrives I’m going to use this video!
Tally Amnel Well I can understand you as always people think I am a teenager or a high school girl. me too I wish learn pole dance as a fitness routine one day.
I remember when I started my classes I had SO many bruises and felt so sore 😂 But in the end is so rewarding. My teacher would say "It's supposed to hurt so get used to it" 😂😂😂 I loved watching progress every single class.
I also want to add that there is nothing wrong with being a stripper. If it weren't for strippers, pole wouldn't be where it is today. I get really annoyed when people stripper shame. I'm not saying that she was stripper shaming, but people in the pole community do, and it's annoying.
The pole studios I've been to embrace strippers. We don't see any reason to shame them. If you're happy, make that monaaaaaayyyyyy. Then again, I'm in New York with Roz. That makes me sad that there are some communities out there that shame.
Hutch I feel like she kind of was. Not intentionally but. She was saying things like "guess im not going to have any friends over". But I think it's really great how she gave no fucks about strippers and actually found a strong admiration and respect for them.
I like pole dancing as a hobby and totally respect girls who do it but stripping or exploiting your body and being paid to get naked on a pole in front of hairy old men just seems really off for me.
@@brilliliantlily9424 some say that pole dancing is an ancient art form, like what Chinese circus performers have been doing on poles for a thousand years, but lets be real, strippers did create it. They deserve all the money they can get working on the pole.
I watched this video when it first came out and I decided I wanted to try pole. After finally being in a supportive environment in my life where I can be myself and not be judged, I just picked up a pole yesterday so that I can finally start learning! 😊
Love it! Roz is amazing. I went thru all those phases myself..big clothes, confidence issues. No more! Lol. Major upper body strength, can do crazy tricks I never thought I could do or my body would eve allow me to do and confidence is thru the roof. I love pole fitness.
Gosh i want to learn how to pole dance, strippers are so great & underrated but discredited especially the ones that can execute the moves so eloquently & whether they are even strippers…to those who do this, y’all are great.
Love her coach! I also love how far she came confidence wise and everything! Really hoping to learn how to pole dance and I hope I can find someone as great as her coach!
I love you face when she told you about the skin. For future reference for anyone: Epsom salt baths help with bruising, and soreness. Happy pole days!!!!
I’m so obsessed with the coach!!! It’s so nice to see a confident curvy pole dancer. I began pole dancing a few months ago and many slim girls have looked down their nose at me. I wish I could dance with someone like her. 😍
I hate how when people start pole dancing they're always saying, "It's not about being a stripper" in relief. Stop shaming strippers when you wouldn't know of pole fitness without them... And shouldn't learning this make you respect strippers more? It takes strength and it's a sport. Strippers are amazing, and most teach themselves which is even more impressive
It's Lit with Leshai I'm a stripper, and let me tell you, it drives me insane when I hear that. Imagine how much more difficult this is in front of total strangers, in lingerie or naked, on your period. In 8 in heels, to boot. I want none of that "strippers are slutty hoes that we shouldn't respect" bullshit.
Katie Lambert In this video she learned pole dance and there were "provocative" movements, but I guess it's OK because she didn't get paid for it 😂 Your comment is irrelevant to what I was even talking about. Bottom line, strippers are strong and athletic on the pole and deserve more credit for that. I don't care what else some strippers might do that's extra. Key word is some... So why generalize and say, "it's not about being a stripper" with a sigh of relief?
The "oh, strippers" part was so cringe. Pretty sure pole fitness didn't materialize out of thin air. Put some respect on strippers, boo. Otherwise awesome video, Roz is amazing!
Pole dance originated in the circus. Then moved to clubs and that is when strip clubs were born. I’m a dancer and it’s shame how society judges us for being comfortable with ourselves to do the job.
she is so pretty and the part where she said something about her being confident surprised me ! like her coach , really believed in her and knew she can do good

I love that! :)
Xxgacha girlxX if you watched the video, the coach was talking about butts lol
@@rory4513 why does it matter. Sizes exist and people can be proud about it. Ignore it if it bothers you so much. People who are bigger dont need to push it aside. Its like mentioning someone is skinny. Who cares?
Symphony D I read that as she said it 😂
is it because she's black?
"None of this is gonna feel natural unless you were literally born in a jungle or strip club" LMFAO I LOVE HER SM
Narwhal wait really
RoseyRoses This attacked me because I self taught myself to like dance and I could kick myself upside down and spin down the pole like that the first day and it felt so natural... hehe
why do I see this comment first at the same time she say it in the video 🙃
Sofia Royal I know!
This is glorious, been searching for "body pole dance" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Menincoln Feyria Method - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my partner got cool results with it.

I agree
She's a queen for sure!!
Yes
Aaagre but I want to see more videos.. Whats her name?

Hutch Where is Roz, located? How many classes did you take?
Well... not for men, I've been turned down twice to join classes, no biggie though, I've got my own pole and youtube.
Kevin Allen How much is it to install a pole into your house?
Hello Emily, I bought my pole off of Amazon for $85, and I installed it myself, didn't take long, but it was a tad bit of a workout, key point though is having a level for vertical installs, not expensive either, you can get on at any hardware store.
Hutch I’m getting my pole tomorrow
You can definitely see the confidence built up with her. This is such a good way to enhance confidence. Pole dancing is art, and that's why not all can do this art. I see this as art.
Still wouldn’t show so much skin
@@jasmintea8825 but its literally required, because if you were fully clothed you couldnt possibly climb up the pole, youd just slide down.

My favorite instructor was her size too. .

This is literally how you get hooked.
You tank the first time.
By the second class, you're like, "This is so much fun, and so hard, but I'm getting it!"
By the 5th, you lose most of your clothing.
Every new move or any progress is such a huge accomplishment.
1 year in, and I'm still in LOVE with it!
I'm not afraid to try the provocative moves anymore 😉😉
Added bonus.... I've gained so much damned confidence!! I've never encountered another more supportive and body positive environment than pole class with women of all types ❤❤❤❤

Only 3 years before I reach 28 😂 I do hope I'll look like her blooming and still beautiful 😍💚
Lol imagine a pole dancer who is a fire fighter and he has to emergency exit with the pole so he goes so...elegently
I love how the teacher is so confident in herself 😀😍😀
*grunts and falls to the floor*
Roz: I know, I know, it’s death, you’re fine.
6:10
Dead😂😂😂
"diff" not death. Diff for difficult
Oh. I thought she said death, too. 😂
@@ishqaqamar2789 nobody says that
Same
I remember when I started my classes I had SO many bruises and felt so sore 😂 But in the end is so rewarding. My teacher would say "It's supposed to hurt so get used to it" 😂😂😂 I loved watching progress every single class.
I also want to add that there is nothing wrong with being a stripper. If it weren't for strippers, pole wouldn't be where it is today. I get really annoyed when people stripper shame. I'm not saying that she was stripper shaming, but people in the pole community do, and it's annoying.
Agreed!
The pole studios I've been to embrace strippers. We don't see any reason to shame them. If you're happy, make that monaaaaaayyyyyy. Then again, I'm in New York with Roz. That makes me sad that there are some communities out there that shame.
Couldn't agree more. I would learn the art of pole dancing from strippers. They are best and they are so pretty.
Hutch I feel like she kind of was. Not intentionally but. She was saying things like "guess im not going to have any friends over". But I think it's really great how she gave no fucks about strippers and actually found a strong admiration and respect for them.
I like pole dancing as a hobby and totally respect girls who do it but stripping or exploiting your body and being paid to get naked on a pole in front of hairy old men just seems really off for me.
The coach is such a character
I am in love!
I just started my first pole dancing class yesterday and this video is SO INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of these women are amazing ❤
“It’s death, your fine.”😂😂😂
I'm a stripper but i still want her to be my coach
as someone in their second week of pole, this embodies so many of my feeling right now, i love it
“It’s chocolate like ur coach,” 😂😂😂
Edit: 11:39
Skye x Mc 11:38
This is just RUDE RACIS
Queen Nya if you turn on your captions it says chocolate just like your coach
Ur racist
How is that racist?
Best teacher. Wow. Wow.
Yeah, pole dance is about more than stripping - but if you can’t respect strippers or the fact that they created it, don’t learn to pole dance 🤷🏼♀️
THIS
Uhm, I'm all for respecting strippers, but they definitely didn't "create" pole dancing...
Marlene Maier who do you think created it?
@@brilliliantlily9424 some say that pole dancing is an ancient art form, like what Chinese circus performers have been doing on poles for a thousand years, but lets be real, strippers did create it. They deserve all the money they can get working on the pole.
period. they're just trying to get money and survive like the test of us
this instructor has moves! and she’s so flexible
Her teacher is BBB (Big, Black, Beautiful)❤💙💚💛💜💃
Ryäññ yasss
I *need* this teacher in my life shes so cool haha
Yasssss
I watched this video when it first came out and I decided I wanted to try pole. After finally being in a supportive environment in my life where I can be myself and not be judged, I just picked up a pole yesterday so that I can finally start learning! 😊
Whoever her teacher is.. i need her 💕
Coach said she came down like a baby elephant 🐘😂😂😂
Azadeh Valanejad Yes 👌🏾
I was dead 💀😂
Have heard that since my old school British ballet teacher 😂😂😂
We need more people like dat coach in the world!!!
Who agrees?????
Doesn’t it hurt you skin , contact ?
Mhm!
We got nothing for that ?
No,
Lonene Mofamadi if you do that you will have no grip on the pole
Literally its so true. You just have to tough it out :/
Eventually your skin toughens up and the nerves aren't so sensitive
It's not about size it's about arrogance
Gabbie stole your comment lmao
чере паха look at the time date when both were commented 😊
Can this woman instruct my life. She’s an amazingly clear and concise teacher
Why can't pole fitness be about regaining our sexiness and being sexually empowered? Why are we so scared???
Elizabeth Terneus because we care too much about mens irrelevant opinions on us
Scr1b3 But a lot of mom's are the concern when it comes to pole dancing not men.
Elizabeth Terneus we care to much what are body’s look like and how much we show are selves and what others like to think
sometimes girls don't like being "sensual"
Preach
That coach is inspirational, she is beautiful. She is not the skinniest, but she is not afraid! Great lady, amazing coach.
u didnt need to include “she is not the skinniest” but ok yay positivity woop woop am i right?
You didn’t have to mention weight
That coach is the definition of wholesome! More people like her in this world please. I love her personality and her attitude!!!
I wonder if she actually continued learning the pole
Love it! Roz is amazing. I went thru all those phases myself..big clothes, confidence issues. No more! Lol. Major upper body strength, can do crazy tricks I never thought I could do or my body would eve allow me to do and confidence is thru the roof. I love pole fitness.
how long did it take to gain upper body strength ?
Hands down, one of the best coaches I've seen in any sport....need her to be my coach!
Gosh i want to learn how to pole dance, strippers are so great & underrated but discredited especially the ones that can execute the moves so eloquently & whether they are even strippers…to those who do this, y’all are great.
Deandra strippers aren’t the same as pole dancers, strippers take their clothes off and a pole dancer doesn’t has to do that necessarily
@@queenofdespair9815 this is the defination of what i want
Giebbie Serah look it up
Lmao you used eloquently wrong, eloquence is used with writing. Did you mean elegance?
@@queenofdespair9815 We dance circles around pole dancers that do it as a hobby. Because that's our job, it's our life, not just a past time.
It’s amazing how much she improved in just 30 days. I actually feel inspired to give this a try. I’ve always wanted to, but now I REALLY want to 😄
Kam3man do it! Pole is wonderful. And if you're not feeling it, try silks or lyra!
She’s so cute and I love how the confidence built up😊😊 makes me so inspired, I hope you keep going
Her coach is so sweet, supportive and she's also very humorous! I love that about her!! 💞
Roz is truly the best! :)
I realy want to do this with one of my friends when I move out after high school, it looks like a fun way to get exercise.
Gabbie Simmons why wait until ur done high school? U should try it now! Believe me it will change your life
Lotus same here, but i definitely can't do it until after highschool cuz my parents would like murder me xD
Me too
I absolutely love her instructor and, as a man, she has inspired me try it out (:
Love her coach! I also love how far she came confidence wise and everything! Really hoping to learn how to pole dance and I hope I can find someone as great as her coach!
I love you face when she told you about the skin.
For future reference for anyone: Epsom salt baths help with bruising, and soreness.
Happy pole days!!!!
Cj Harrison I should be starting my first pole dancing class in a few weeks, thanks for the tip !!
I’m so obsessed with the coach!!! It’s so nice to see a confident curvy pole dancer. I began pole dancing a few months ago and many slim girls have looked down their nose at me. I wish I could dance with someone like her. 😍
In what universe are you pretending to be in?....This is NOT "curvy", Sofía Vergara is curvy, this is obese.
I hate how when people start pole dancing they're always saying, "It's not about being a stripper" in relief. Stop shaming strippers when you wouldn't know of pole fitness without them... And shouldn't learning this make you respect strippers more? It takes strength and it's a sport. Strippers are amazing, and most teach themselves which is even more impressive
It's Lit with Leshai I'm a stripper, and let me tell you, it drives me insane when I hear that. Imagine how much more difficult this is in front of total strangers, in lingerie or naked, on your period. In 8 in heels, to boot. I want none of that "strippers are slutty hoes that we shouldn't respect" bullshit.
It's Lit with Leshai strippers dance provocative for money some jerk dudes off for money
Katie Lambert In this video she learned pole dance and there were "provocative" movements, but I guess it's OK because she didn't get paid for it 😂 Your comment is irrelevant to what I was even talking about. Bottom line, strippers are strong and athletic on the pole and deserve more credit for that. I don't care what else some strippers might do that's extra. Key word is some... So why generalize and say, "it's not about being a stripper" with a sigh of relief?
It's Lit with Leshai Amen! 🙌
Bruh shut the fuck up and take that shit else where because no one gives two flying fucks for the hate you throw🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾😚
The "oh, strippers" part was so cringe. Pretty sure pole fitness didn't materialize out of thin air. Put some respect on strippers, boo. Otherwise awesome video, Roz is amazing!
Seriously! Like who the f do think invented pole dance?!!!
**do they think. Not you lol
Pole dance originated in the circus. Then moved to clubs and that is when strip clubs were born. I’m a dancer and it’s shame how society judges us for being comfortable with ourselves to do the job.
Joan A Do you know?
It originated in India, centuries ago. Just like yoga. PD is so graceful and sensual, stop the shaming. :)
Her enthusiasm is amazing and it was fun watching her grow as a dancer! And her coach was amazing!! I do want to take classes!!
she is so pretty and the part where she said something about her being confident surprised me ! like her coach , really believed in her and knew she can do good
