PaulettePoles · 12/11/2011
Let me know as soon as you know the location! I would so like to make this a b day trip combo for me and visit my dad ass well. He lives in Temperance! Would be soo much fun! Do you ever have a way of identifying yourself so fellow veeners can find each other? I would love to meet some of you while I am there!
Charley · 12/11/2011
Hi Paulette! We do have a venue! It's at the Ukranian Cultural Center in Warren Mi (26601 Ryan Rd Warren, MI) We have the entire 14,000 sq ft Center to ourselves with 2 upstairs pole studios, Grand Ball Room, Lounge/Bar & Grill and more. It's a huge space and I have finagled them to shut it all down and have a guarantee that there will no other events booked that day. :D :D :D I will also figure out something we can give you at the door to identify yourself as a Veener!!!!
Charley · 12/11/2011
Another thing...I'm hoping Veena will be able to come and perform for us! She has been at several of the showcases and an immense support. At the March one he and webby had little Veener buttons for everyone and it was awesome - that's a great way to identify yourself as a Veener. Another thing that might be fun is Studio Veena logoed name tags and you write your screen name on them :)
Mary Ellyn · 12/11/2011
This is going to be so much fun! Can't wait for this. We are coming up with a group of students too.
nymphdancer · 12/11/2011
We will be coming up as well :)
Veena · 12/11/2011
I would love to be there! I hope to know more in a few days!!! ❤️
PaulettePoles · 12/12/2011
How exciting! This is definitely what Im asking for f or my bady. A trip to see my daddy- and attend this event!
Charley · 12/13/2011
I really hope you can come Paulette!!!! CONFIRMED: Hedo is our very first sponsor! You will have the chance to win a 4 day 3 night stay at Hedo! Can anyone say Dance Wicked For A Week? The amazing week of pole dance workshops put on by Mary Ellyn Weissman of ETED that features Karol Helms (who's gonne be in da house) Leigh Ann Reilly, Michelle Mynx, Fawnia, and Marlo!!!!!!!!!! That's when I'd be booking my trip to Hedo if I won!
PippiParnasse · 12/14/2011
That's so great you're putting this on. I work weekends pretty consistently so probably can't come. Michigan is my old summer stomping grounds- I used to go to Blue Lake! Was a councelor and everything :)
Poledancefan · 12/18/2011
I'm definitiely coming to the event! I've been talking this up BIG TIME at the Actor's Gymnasium in Evanston, Illinois --trying to convince some of the aerial ladies this would be a fun road trip. I hope we get a big group to come. Some of the aerial students are also polers from a studio near Milwaukee and I think some of them might perform! I'm also trying to convince my wife Laurie to come for part of the showcase. /Joel Lessing

I was wondering how to register to perform if there are spots still available. I went to the website and couldn't seem to find out how. If you would let me know that would be appreciated!
Charley · 2/8/2012
I'm sorry Melissa all of the spots are now full, they filled within 2 days.
Lyme Lyte · 2/8/2012
I've never been to one of these shows.....can you just go to watch? Or do you need to attend workshops to work on moves etc? Are the workshops extra or included in the price?
Charley · 2/8/2012
Hi Lyme Lite! Visit www.mipolefestival.yolasite.com for more information. General Admission tickets are all you need to watch the shows, workshops aren't required at all. I hope you can make it - it would be really great to meet you!
BeccaBuck · 2/8/2012
I saw that Alethea now has a workshop scheduled for 5:00 pm, can you tell me, Charley, if she's going to do one in the morning? Should I just keep an eye out, or is that the only one she's doing?
Yella Bunny · 2/10/2012
I'm just a beginner, but I'm going to check this out. Thanks for sharing ladies.
Veena · 2/10/2012
You should go Yella Bunny!! I'm excited to go!! 🥂
PippiParnasse · 2/10/2012
I'm going to be going after all, as I was asked to cover the event for Vertical Art and Fitness. Would anyone from Chicago like to carpool? I'm leaving Friday daytime and coming back Saturday night after the ceremonies. My car or yours, just want someone to split the gas with. :)
X Pole Rep · 2/10/2012
Hey Charley!! I can't wait to come out to Michigan for your festival :)
