  • Pole Jam in Tallahassee!

    Posted by Rena LadyBug on February 21, 2010 at 7:55 pm

    Okay so I wanted to go ahead and get the ball rolling. When in chat on Friday I was talking to several girls about having a pole jam when I come to the Florida/Georgia area in July. Well I was looking at the calendar and I’d interested in having one on July 24!!! I’m not from the area so I don’t know very many places we could have it. I will have my pole with me, so even if we decided to have it at someone’s house I’d be cool with that! I sent Katheryn Bouchillon an email about possibly having it at her new studio, Vertical, but I haven’t heard back from her. Anyone interested? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

    That sounds like an awesome idea. I am close to Tally and I use to go to Art of The Catwalk. Its a nice studio Kat use to teach there before opening her own. The owner is really nice her name is Marion the number is 850-309-7653 http://www.artofthecatwalk.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they have 11 poles I think. Stainless on here is an instructor there to you may can ask her about more info.

    I will definitely be available for a Tallahassee Pole Jam in July. You can reach Marion Shafer at http://www.ArtofTheCatwalk.com at 850-309-7653. The other studio is called Vertical and is owned by Katheryn Bouchillon and you can reach her studio at 850-350-7653 and her site is http://www.VerticalPassion.com. Both ladies are very nice and professional. Katheryn’s studio opens next month. Keep me posted https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Do you have any preferences to the studios?? I liked Kat when I met her, although I was so damn shy… But she was incredible!!! How many poles do they each have?

    No, I dont have a preference. I know that Kat is a die hard poler and would probably even want to pole with us if asked and if she’s not busy. I know Catwalk has 11 poles and one spins, I dont know how many poles Kat has probably no less than 10 and I know they are 18ft and I believe they all spin. I wont know all the details of Kat’s studio until next month, but I guess it really depends on the most you can get for the best price too….

    18 ft!!!! I’m thinking I like the sounds of Kat’s studio!! And she was incredible, she made everything look so easy!!! Hopefully she will get back to me. I’ll wait til a little closer to message her again, b/c I’m sure she is super busy with the opening of her studio!

    Hi everyone,

    This is Marion from http://www.ArtoftheCatwalk.com. We have 13 Poles and 8 of them spin- I think that we can accommodate anywhere from 20-350 ppl in the studio so we would love to host your Pole Jam. We could have my photographer Don Curry, who just did photos with Jenyne, Zoraya, Karol and Allegra when we were in NYC. If you want to check out his work go to my facebook http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=14560&id=100000502901670&ref=mf
    Please feel free to add me on Facebook and here too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
    Let me know what you need so that I can help you promote it.

    YAY!!! I’m getting soo excited!! How tall are your poles and what kind are they (chrome, stainless, brass, etc)!! I can’t wait to come!! How much would the pole jam cost per person to have it at your studio, if you don’t mind me asking https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
    Oh yes, I’ve seen Don’s work! It’s very good! Do you know how much he charges? Is this where I freak out and say I don’t have anything nice to wear for professional pictures!! Eek!! I really need to get my butt into gear and step up my p90x and pole workouts!

    I know Kat and can talk to her if you have not made up your mind yet… I see her pretty often, and I am sure she would be interested. Her new studio is great!

    Does anyone know if they are 100% sure they are planning on going? I’d like to start getting a head count to see how many are coming. Also I talked to Don Curry about taking professional pole pictures, don’t know if anyone is interested… But depending on how many girls are interested we may be able to get some sort of group rate! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I’m looking so forward to meeting you ladies!!!!

    Does anyone have a preference of which studio to go to or would anyone want to go to both studios?? We may need to do the jam on Friday b/c I may have to go home Saturday.. Not sure yet. I’m assuming evening is best for everyone? I still need to find out cost, times, etc, and if no one else wants to take professional pictures then I may just have to find some other time while I’m down there to get with Don. I’m not very good yet, but I think it’d be awesome to have some pretty pole pictures https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    It looks like whatever you decide is fine Rena. I think you should give us a date(s), time, cost(of one or 2 jams) and place(s) and have everybody tell you yay or nay before you let the studio owners know.
