Charley, wow! That list is awesome! We should take that and then add some columns with different info like prices, length, curriculum, pre-req's etc. That would be such a great resource for people!! Maybe if I find some time on my hands….https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif
Empy, that disclaimer could mean that they are in the process of being approved to offer CEUs?? It does take a month or two. There have been no changes to my course as I am still approved to offer 1.2 CEUs.
I took the Pole Position course in 2008 and it was ACE approved at the time and I earned .7 or .8 ACE CEUs. I noticed in 2009 that Pole Position wasn't listed on the ACE website anymore (and still isn't) and I figured they dropped their affiliation with ACE. Maybe they are reapplying?

Aviva,
Is it on Balt. Craigslist? I saw one there earlier today. I'd have been interested if it were a 45! I think 300 is reasonable if it's in mint condition. I think it'd sell a lot quicker though if it were priced lower than that.

Payton, you wrote that X-Pert is the only pole certification recognized by both ACE and AFFA. I just wanted to let you know that my program, Discoveries Dance, is both ACE and AFFA approved as well.

I should add that when I go to studios to do instructor training I get girls from competing studios in the same room for about 13 hours over the course of a weekend. There have been little issues here and there, but I'd say 95% of the time, everyone plays nice.

Good always wins over evil. Love always conquers hate. Just like in the movies 🙂

At the studio I used to teach at the owner bad mouthed another local studio so much that I was afraid to go there. She made the workers there seem like nasty monsters. She said if I went I should lie about being an instructor and be careful b/c they might not let me in. She also of course wanted a full report (like I was a spy). Anyway, I went there, met a bunch of truly wonderful ladies that I have become good friends with and I am always welcomed with very open arms!! I don't think I ever told my boss I went. Needless to say, I don't work for the studio I first mentioned anymore.

Thanks for the shout out tatpoleny!! Thank you so much for inviting me to your studio! It is the prettiest studio I've yet to see and your girls were fantastic!
I last posted in this thread well over a year ago so I just wanted to put in an update! My course was launched last summer! I have a website that people can go to for more information. http://www.discoveriesdance.com. It is approved by ACE, AFAA, and the PFA. It's a 12 hour course designed for experienced dancers, meaning you need to already be able to pole as I don't teach moves in my curriculum. My fee was set using fitness standards, so it is very affordable.
That being said, Empy's course, X-Pert, and Climb and Spin all look amazing and it goes without saying they are taught by the best of the best. I highly recommend any of them in addition to getting your Group Fitness Certification!

Just read back through the thread and realized that this discussion was already had – about a year ago. LOL. Guess things haven't changed with the production company or the people behind it….Must have been quite the family emergency…

I noticed that JK's DVD is affiliated with another dancer who put out a DVD that lots of people here had problems with. Both vids are from 'Pole Cat Power'. This was about a year or so ago. There were problems with major lack of communication as well as delays. It's such a shame as both ladies are very talented and have a lot to offer.

Hey Sensual,
Sorry to hear you got a mean comment. You're beautiful and don't you forget it. I enjoyed your vid. Hope you have happy dreams tonight.

Bet he gets all the ladies!

Kat, what moves are on it?

If you're going to turn the back foot to the side so that the arch is touching the floor just make sure you turn out the whole leg from the hip joint. If you start turning the leg out from the knee joint it's bad for the knee ligaments.

Hey jk! It’s angel from discoveries dance!

Fake Bake does turn your skin a beautiful brown color. I highly recommend it.

I was hoping you'd chime in Chemmie! You know everything!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

There was just a looong article in O Magazine about the finding of the superfoods that go into Shakeology. I'm really interested in buying in so that I can incorporate some of these foods into my diet. I'm not interested in losing weight, signing onto beachbodies, getting the dvds, or replacing a meal (gasp) with a shake. I'm shocked at the expense of this stuff as well. Does anyone have any suggestions about other comparable products or ways to get shakeology cheaper than going through beachbody? It seems so strange to me that these men who travelled the globe, met with healers and shamans, and who promote conservation and a natural diet teamed up with beachbody. Why didn't they team up with Whole Foods or Gaiam or a similar organization.
Anyway, any advice from anyone would be great!

Hi, I'll take the Nicole Williams DVD! Can I send you a paypal payment??

Amy hung from a rope that was wrapped around the pole. Crazy! Nadia rocked the chair, and Michelle was just her awesome self! You could tell Nadia LOVES being on stage, she gave me goosebumps. Michelle gets such a fierce look in her eyes likes she’s gonna eat up the crowd.
They were announcing the winner and before they said her name someone from the crowd shouted ‘Michelle’.
