Hi Stephanie, It’s Angel! Glad to see you here! Haven’t seen you since Karol’s workshop, it was awesome wasn’t it?? :lol Here’s a pic of you!

[Angel1201]

MUST SEE MARLO!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif and KAROL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

[Angel1201]

I’m gonna send you an message. Check your mail box.

I like Lady Morrighan, she’s got some good moves. She has two DVDs out. "Pole Dance Studio" has one out, but it’s a choreography, so not sure if you’d like it. Flirty Girl Fitness has some chair DVDs – Chair Fit and Chair Dance. Jamilla also has her ‘Tease’ DVD. It has chair on it.

[Angel1201]

I’m a dvd junkie and a big fan of her other dvds. I can get it new for $37 from her site. Would you go lower? How will you accept payment? Do you have a paypal? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

[Angel1201]

My lips (both sets haha)
my stomach
my green eyes
my curves
my soft skin
my neck

You know what? I’m pretty happy with everything! At 39 I love me more than I did at 29!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[Angel1201]

I’m not doing Alethia’s workshop but I’ll be at the comp in row K.

[Angel1201]

What is it about the routine style you don’t like?

I might be interested.

[Angel1201]

Congratulations on your soriety lilbit!! 29 years is no small feat! One day at a time! My hubby is a friend of Bill W. (he said you might know what that means) and he says congrats too!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif

If you live within driving range, I HIGHLY recommend you go! You won’t be disappointed. Karol isn’t one of those amazing dancers who can’t communicate how to do the move. Nor is she conceited. She was here in Maryland last weekend for workshops and I was completely impressed. She is very articulate and can explain all the moves well. She has an eye for what you are doing right or wrong to help you improve. Everyone who took the workshop was really happy with it. Karol is sweet, funny, intelligent, and very talented. Go book it now!! I promise you won’t regret it.

Gator Girl I’m with you on this one. As a teacher, I was constantly striving to bring new things into class to keep it fresh. My students were paying money to have the best class possible and I owed it to them to keep them on their toes. I always gave props as to where I picked it up from. I did visit the competion and what I found, I loved. Perhaps the owners are afraid you’ll leave. I also watch videos, and take workshops as often as possible. My studio owner doesn’t dance at all, so she isn’t worried about a particular style or trademark moves. I guess it depends on where you work and what the culture is there. I believe though that if you stay enclosed in a bubble and ignore the outside world that growth is limited. I wouldn’t want to work at a place like that. There is a wonderful pole world out there and dancers need to embrace each other rather than ignore one another.

Hoddska, it sounds to me like you aren’t doing anything wrong. You are a free human being who should be allowed to do whatever the hell you please while you are off the clock as long as you aren’t slandering or hurting your boss. Are Pizza Hut workers banned from getting Dominos?? Silly.

[Angel1201]

Well, Karol came and went and a good time was had by all!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif I really have to give Karol props. She is a superb teacher! Not only can she do all sorts of exciting moves, but she can explain them all clearly, break them down, and keep you safe from injury as well. She isn’t intimidating and is funny and kind. If you ever get a chance to take a workshop with her, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend it!! Worth the $$, every cent!

I was lucky enought to have Karol stay at my house this weekend, and believe it or not she actually sleeps, eats, and does regular stuff just like the rest of us mere mortals!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

[Angel1201]

Sigh…I love her https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

[Angel1201]

Karol, that routine is f-ing amazing. Good lord! My fav part is at the end, you look like an angel in the dove. It’s one insane move right into the next. You are on a whole ‘nother level woman! Anyway, enough drooling. What I meant to write before I got all starry eyed was that youtube needs slo-mo. My mind just can’t seem to wrap around the holly drop. Maybe after I try it, it’ll make sense.

[Angel1201]

I hear ya! I’m having the same problem since the temp dropped over the past week. I’m taking a break from pole and trying out my new hoop!

[Angel1201]

I was just so happy that it said that ANYONE can gain flexibility in the spine with practice. I am definitely a front bender and need to work on my backbends. I didn’t want to hurt myself so I didn’t work on backbends much. Off I go to the pole vault to stretch!!!

[Angel1201]

I was 36 when I started. Luckily I was already in great condition from 20 years of consistant exercise. I just turned 39 and I have no intentions of ‘retiring’ any time soon!

[Angel1201]

Symphony Space is at 2537 Broadway at 95th – upper west side just off central park. There is a very close hotel http://www.marrakechhotelnyc.com/index.asp that looks great. Their address is 2688 Broadway, so it’s probably a block or two away from the theater. They have a ‘double double’ for $200 a night on March 19th which can sleep 4 (50/person). They also have a tab for group rates. Anyone want to call and hash out a group rate?? (212) 222-2954

Well the pole jam went down yesterday and I have to say that this morning I am still glowing, bruised and sore, but glowing none-the-less!! We had such a wonderful time that I was sorry when it ended! SV ladies (and JC) are the BEST!!! Sissy was the first to show and man, what a lovely person insided and out!!! And those legs, Yowza!! Best of luck girl with the surgery this week, I’ll be praying for ya! After Sissy came, my two non-Veena friends showed, Italy and Val. Next to arrive was Jungle Cat and Guccigirl who drove up from DC. MDpoledancer arrived and so did the beautiful Amcut. We all sat around and stared at our watches (kidding https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif waiting for Punkrockgirlie and Azriel who held up the party by getting stuck in traffic. JC came with his hoop and Sissy and Guccigirl showed off their hooping skills. Finally we got to polin and laughin and goofin and filmin and eatin and drinking – SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!! I think everyone accomplished a new move, including me with the U-turn. We all got a kick out of JC and his cute underpants (manties) that had a strategically placed red bow! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif JC, one piece of advice, get a cup dude, we want you to have kids someday!! LOL. It was so great to finally meet the lovely Azriel !! Az, you are a talented dancer – you are going to inspire so many ladies in Greece when you open your studio!! I sincerely hope I can come visit you over the summer!

I just want to thank each and every one of you for filling my pole room with such good vibes and memories!! I miss you already! And Veena, I want to thank you for creating this site that brought us all together! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Looking forward to the next time!!!

[Angel1201]

Hey sascha hon, of course you could come!! I’d love to have you visit! Sorry ’bout not getting together in Buffalo. I I flew in Fri night and left mon afternoon. Barely even got to see my fam!

[Angel1201]

Hey anais! Love her work by the way. If you are in columbia, the best place to go is Xpose in Arundel Mills. Great teachers there! You could also go down to DC to Pole Pressure. Jessalyn is a fab instructor and dancer. One of the best in the country. There is also Chic Physique in Bethesda. I hear it’s a really cute place! Welcome to the studio veena!!

[Angel1201]

OK girls (and JC) we’re still on for this pole jam. I’m recovering from a yucky cold, but I still think I can bust a move or three!! Just so you know, my pole room is in my basement which isn’t so pretty (concrete floor and walls), but my pole room is great! Also, I have a pack of yappy dachshunds that go crazy when people come over. After they sniff your legs they get over it and just want to lick you and get belly rubs.

I have three poles up plus room for one more if anyone wants to bring a portable. I have 13 confirmed pple on Facebook! Crap, I seriously hope we fit!!!!!!!!!!

The last pole jam I had, I baked brownies and cookies and no one ate A THING except punkrockgirlie who ate a brownie b/c she felt bad that I felt bad that no one ate anything. Did that make sense??!! This time, I’m not going through the effort but I do have bottled water and some soda.

If you have any questions, shoot me an email at mailto:abaranyi@yahoo.com or send me a message here and I can give you my phone number.

I took a workshop with Jenyne a few months ago and if I remember correctly she called this a twisted ballerina.

[Angel1201]

Tina, that’d be great if you posted event info here. I was happy to see that she is coming up this way & I won’t have to drive all the way down to charlottsville to dance with her! Plus I get to see your studio!

[Angel1201]

Hi Tina, I was just on your site. I see you are having Tequila do a workshop!! I’m interested, but it doesn’t seem to be listed on mindbodyonline. Also, what level is it and what is the cost?
