I would inform him that stripping isn’t your occupation, and then call him an offensive word that he isn’t. Remind him that talking shit to people across the internet isn’t at all a positive role model for his kid, and makes him look like the douchebag. Pole fitness isn’t stripping just as EMT’S aren’t doctors. They both heal people and save lives, but it’s two different things.
And there’s nothing wrong with stripping anyway. There’s tons wrong with prostitution, and some girls use stripping as a cover to whore themselves out, but these are the minority. If he see’s something wrong with this form of entertainment, fitness related, or exotic dance related, then he can get over it. If it was your husband’s sport pole I bet you 50 bucks he wouldn’t have said a word. But because you have tits and a vagina, it makes you a stripper. SMH. Owning a pole doesn’t make you a stripper anymore than owning a gun makes you a serial killer. Some people are just too dumb to understand this concept, and too narrowminded to understand pole as an art or sport. Your son is young, and can make handfulls of friends just by walking up and saying, “hi,do you want to be friends” at a playground. If this D-bag continues to harass you for your passion, apologize to you son and help him make a new friend. After all, our parents can be our worst or best influence. How long before her father starts starts pressuring her into his opinions of other people and she strts saying ugly things to your son?

Happy birthday klaus :3

Use a stability board to evenly distribute pressure. And always put your pole on a stud if you can.
-
That’s amazing. I’d assume it’s for more accent type pieces…so 3 yards would go a while depending on what you did. I’m cheap, though, and wha def look for alternatives, but what a fun idea!
-
Oh, just kidding, I found it in your gallery.
PDD.com didn't have a name for it o: interesting.

er…the image like is broken. The point of contact is the outside leg that is normally hooked in gemini? Or the leg that is straight and not hooked on the pole is the point of contact?
-
I’ll take pictures when I’m home. Strap broke off of the shoe from one, and the heel snapped trying to do allegra on the other. I tried to extend my leg while the heel was around the pole….they were boots I bought like, 8 months.

The last 45 days can go die in a ditch of burning lava and AIDS. I just broke not, ONE, but two pairs of work shoes. In ONE hour. I’m so stressed with the amount of money I’m spending today, I don’t want to have to spend $70 on shoes this weekend, so I really hope I win this week especially.
I was about to go home, but then a co-worker is letting me borrow her shoes since she’ll going on vacation…..they’re cute, just not work shoes.

Dance to something with a similar beat and slap a sound track over it.
-
Oh yeah, that 😛 I find that having my arms at about shoulder level (where my shoulders are before I "extend") is best for me. But I see some girls do it at their face, and some do it at their belly button level. I find the shoulder level to be best. It allows me to extend if I feel safe and balanced enough to, and then I'm not over-engaging/death gripping with my forearms and shoulders, if that makes sense. It's very hard to find a proper tutorial for this move, so I hope that one is in Veena's new package of goodies that she hinted at last week +_+
-
I sorta have this move. I can’t extend very far but can get my top leg off the pole. I did it from the floor and the crash mats were very helpful, but I was still afraid. I started doing it from the air slightly, and I find it much more comfortable since the whole sole of the foot is on the pole, not just the heel on the pole and the ball on the floor. Something to think about.

I live in Phoenix and am only in the bay area for 4-5 days a few months out of the year, but would love a buddy there 😀
I know that none of the instructors there are rude (Cristina was a doll) it was just a set of questions I had for every studio, not poletential in question.
-
I saw the 48"s in a pretty moss green color. I bet that's where she got them. Or the other leg warmer site someone linked a few weeks back….
-
I'll ask one of the instructors I saw at poletential. Hers went all the way to her thighs, I have no idea how she did a workshop with Phoenix in them @_@
-
I agree with JeHanne. I won't drive in shoes that aren't safe for driving. That includes flip flops! Flats and tennis shoes are the only shoes I will drive in. The officer can deal with my gross feet if he wants to pull me over, because I'm not wearing heels if i'm driving :<

Arnica and ice are your new pole buddies :3
I used to bruise really really really badly. Now I think my body is used to the torment, as when I learn a new trick the bruise only lasts for a few days. Like, having a menstrual cycle, just on my skin :p
It gets better, but you’ll have bruises that stay no matter what. The coloration will just start to fade. I have semi-permanent knee and foot bruises from dancing. My legs don’t look like a meth addict anymore, but do they still hurt when I crawl into bed!

I’m 5’10” and am only ever seen without heels when I’m going to work (going to be in stripper shoes all day long, don’t want to be in them on my way home.) I set up some rules for shoe buying. I will only buy the shoe if it fits. No, “aw, I’ll just use shoe strecth at home.” No, “I’ll grow into it.” It has to fit. And it has to be comfy at the store. If I can’t walk around the store looking at other things thinking, “SOMEONE CUT MY FEET OFF, THIS IS BS.” Or, “this isn’t that comfortable.” Then I won’t buy that pair. You can use th gel insoles, although its been said certain toe configurations will make heels less comfortable.
When I was engaged my fiance would always get mad when I wore heels because barefoot we were the same size. 3 years of tennis gave me legs of a goddess, and heels always made me feel better about my feet (hhaaaattteee feet. Anyone’s feet.) If he didn’t respect my wish to be extra sexy, or wear a pair of shoes that matched, screw him. And screw anyone else who thinks my beautiful legs make me “too tall”. I’ve heard “too fat” and “too skinny”. But longer legs make the illusion of better lines, right? Embrace them!
-
From a student’s perspective, I was taught outside leg instead of inside leg because I was taught to climb with my right foot behind the pole. Inverted crucifix for most beginners, while exciting, is not comfortable, and asking us to “switch legs” (the left foot would be behind the pole instead of the right) when we work up to an inversion level freaks me out :p
-
Anyone have a link that explains the difference between Dubstep and other types of synthesised music?
-
Whenever I learn it’s barefoot. I won’t do a certain move in heels until I’ve mastered it. Just for saftey. There will be certain moves I will cheat and use vinyl boots for (spatchcock and keem when I get to them) but my boots are only like, a 2″ heel. If it’s not atleast 4″, I don’t count it as a heel.
The bigger the better, right ;P

I’m 20, been pole dancing for almost 9 months. And there is only one move that she did that I know I can’t do. Which is arms only climb. I’m also almost entirely self taught (learned conditioning and flexibility, had 2basic classes and one adv so far.) My instructor swears up and down that I could do allegra and special k, so I’d assume I could do keem. So that brings my total to…4 moves that I don’t know? Including the aerialsummersault thing that I always forget the name of. And I’ve never tried The Embrace, but it’s in my “this is going to hurt like a mofo bone bruises” series with yogini and teddy.
I agree with DD. It does not matter how fast you get there. I rushed to get to where I am and I’ve suffered two muscle injuries because of it. Move at a safe, happy pace, always.

Ah, yeah, I was only looking at this weekend starting today (Friday30-Sunday Dec2). Not any other weekends until Jan. That’s okay, maybe I’ll meet a friend at open pole anyway @_@

I guess I’ll try when I get home. Is it also $75?
