I feel really ghetto when I admit to using my cellphone camera. But the quality isn’t too horrible if the lighting isn’t synthetic. It’s not HD, but it’s really good! When I record in my garage, though….a cheese grater would do a better job recording :/

@ Crazykitten
Gaga admitted to being an erotic dancer before she was discovered in New York. Whether or not that includes pole dancing is to be determined, but she was definitely a dancer 🙂

As an exotic dancer, I would have to say that I like stripper heels in certain situations. If you can actively pole in a room with high ceilings, go for it! If you're like me and 5'10" (making you approximately 6'Godzilla") you end up kicking the ceiling , which is not classy or sexy at all. That's inverting from the ground, by the way :< If you haven't worked up to inverting, then I guess everything is all fine and dandy!
There are certain moves that I can't imagine doing in heels (Special K, but Chelle Hefner apparently tackled that one. I still can't quite get my brain around that.) But I'm sure with enough practice you can do anything.

For things like intermediate spins, I transition form more basic things. Cradle, for instance, I go from basic pirouette (leading with my right hand on top) and just turn back into the pole into a cradle with my left hand on bottom, right hand on top. I can do cradle on both sides, so it doesn't bother me
I really recommend going back and doing Veena's basic series if you have the lessons. I'm a self taught exotic dancers and redoing Veena's basic under arm spins and whatnot has really helped me strengthen my flow.

You can learn the gemini climb and go into all sorts of different stuff; figurehead, another invert, a hold, teddy, etc.

I totally have this pet peeve with myself. The intial step up seems really ugly to me. So I cheat! Let me try to find a video of Jenyne to show what I do.

:30s. I use a split grip lifty thing to put myself ON the pole. It looks impressive, and classy.

Is Burts safe for color treated hair?

Take it slow. I rushed into inverting, and over doing it can cause injury. Then you send more time off the pole. It takes some people a week, some people a month, and some people many months! I was 3 months into pole when I started inverting. But some girls at my studio were consistantly shoulder mounting.
-
I was thinking about this the other day…I know that I HATE doing anything on my left side. Maybe it would be fun to have a challenge using ONLY your non-dominant side? 😛

I’m having trouble understanding what’s stuck– so I’m going to feel like an idiot if this isn’t what you’re talking about. But one time my pole was stuck even though the hex key unscrewed it or whatever. I took frozen rice and put it around the joint ; heat expands, cold contracts. After about 15m it came out with some help from my mom. Hope this helps!

as long as you’re happy! I remember someone posting about this issue about a month ago. I don’t think it’s that strange, considering breasts are mostly fat. When you build muscle….you know how it goes.

I would say do it as a beginner I didn't, and am almost entirely self taught. While I learned things more quickly than at a studio, I did not learn safetly, nor did I learn proper basics. So even though I can shoulder mount at six months, it isn't consistent, and I can't do some really basic moves with ease. Learning "in order" will help condition the body for harder things. You have to walk before you can run, not crawl and then run, right?

When you click on "photos" at the top of the page (next to the WECOME SCREENAME, PROFILE, FRIENDS in red) there will be an "add album +" clickable text about half an inch under the "discuss" tab.
I really. Really. Need to get back to posting my challenge 😛

I’m also 5’10” and have actually found getting into moves and mastering moves to be easier. I have a lot of leg to work with for scorpio, gemini looks more pretty, inverted crucifix feels comfortable. being tall does force you to hyper learn certain moves, but that’s never a bad thing as long as you’re safely learning!
I kick my ceiling if I climb and then, so I have to invert from the ground, and caterpillar my way up :p nbd, just a move that I had to condition for and learn a little more quickly than the average poler. -
I have been waiting for a week for it to be August just to see this challenge posted 🙂
-
I thought that move was called, “cupid”, but I could also be wrong. My instructor told me that I could achieve this move by having a strong side/crab climb, and learning knee holds. Once you’re comfortable hands free for knee hold, you can keep on hand on the “closed” leg for cupid, if that makes sense.
-
work* also, I’m totally down/excited for this challenge :3
-
I think a picture folder on studioveena would wor best for this challenge. Just my opinion.
-
So do you post a status update every day following this list, or is it picture related? Not sure how these sorts of challenges work.
-
I set goals for myself every month, it really helps. This months I wanted to do butterfly and jade, I only got the jade.

What do you eat for a snack Veena? I’ve been thinking of adding a banana to my “snack” protein bar at work. But I’m unsure of the amount of food one should eat for it to be a healthy snack and not just a meal.
