Any suggestions regarding a slippery pole. I've never had any issues with a slippery pole until today. Had a completely sucky pole practice. Not sure if its because my garage is getting colder and its too dry in there? I couldn't stick to the pole to do anything.

cold and low humidity makes my pole exra slippery. def have to get your pole nice and warm with you hands when its cold to get a better grip. i do alot of walking around, pole massages w hip rolls, basic spins, ect til the pole is nice and warm. also have found for me using sprite or other clear soda gets the pole clean and slippery. i use flat soda (just open and leave cap off) bc i worry the soda might damage the coating otherwise. i dont use this often, but when nothing else is working.. i also have used latex gloves for grip. really cant spin like this unless in spinny mode, but great for trying to get rubber pencil, extended butterfly, handspring ect ( i almost got into butterfly 1st time this morn from handspring!) there are also grip aids. i believe roxy-pink had done a review on grip aids. hope this helps. and when all else fails, just use it as an oppurtunity to practiuce floor/wall work or try chair or belly dance ☀️
meant to say sticky about using soda, not slippery 😉
