Tovah started this discussion · 1/16/2012

Hi I skyped poled yesterday and it was alot of fun. I am hoping to do more of this as it's like going into a studio but you stay home and talk and play with others. It is alot better than practicing alone. If your ever in the mood to skype pole my name on skype is: lise.lang1 Let me know or add me or send me message there or here and we can skype pole. It was a really good positive experience for me to do this. Maybe Webbie, and Veena would even have a skype day for all of us to pole on a day or something like chat.

You can use the webcams in the chat room anytime any day!!!!!!

I didn't know that. Do people meet there? I was never asked to play there before.

I don't know...I would think people would get together in chat to pole! I do know there were a few members meeting in chat for stretching sessions. You can even create a room just for your group.

So during skype do you just practice and have the person you are skyping with help you with moves since they can see what you are doing while you are doing it?

Hello SamH, I only had one positive experience so far and hope to keep it going that way. We warmed up and we asked what we were working on and we were both working on one trick i.e. the knee hold. We giggled & laughed at our vulnerability in ref. to knee hold. She was closer to getting it than I was. Anyways, we moved on to other stuff & different combo's and stuff she learnt and shared stuff that I learnt and I would watch her and her me and we would encourage each other. A whole hour went by and we could of gone on for a bit more but her skype / computer cam. was not working and she used her phone to skype for the cam. We were about to spin next and her phone died and funny to as just in time for my show called "Once Upon A Time". We also worked on some floor stuff. Anyways, it was fun and I want to do this again because a practice is a practice no matter what.

Sounds like fun. I dont have a skype account though haha but I'll make one and get back to you! When are you available to skype?

I'd love to skype or sv chat pole with someone; however, my work hours are unique so doesn't seem to fit into most people's schedule. I usually try to practice on Tuesday or Thursday (or both) in the middle of the afternoon pacific standard time. I work split shift those days so I'm home and usually pratice 1:00 or 1:30 p.m. for a little while. Anyone available during that time of day, let me know. :)

I am occasionally. Looking forward to play.

I work shift work so I can work around peoples sched. if anyone wants to pole with me. I am thinking that one may want to skype pole with others as well and when we are online or something.

I am at home all day right now, so I am very flexible as far as being able to SkypePole. I would love to practice with some of you ladies! Now that I have moved to a new town with not a lot of pole presence, I would love to meet some new pole buddies. :)
Tovah · 1/17/2012
I would be able to play tomorrow afternoon around 3 or from 6 to 8pm
hookedonpole · 1/17/2012
Tovah, what time would that be for pacific standard time, which is my time zone?
Tovah · 1/17/2012
LOL ... I don't know I would have to google that.
hookedonpole · 1/17/2012
