haha, that is too funny! But now you’ll have to wait a couple days to do elbow grips…lol.

yeah my powder coated took a while to get warm too. I am also planning on installing it in the basement. If you get a small space heater that should do the job! The best part is…they are cheaper than other finishes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

It’s worked for me in the past. Put a yoga mat between the plywood and the dome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I have a bf already grumbling about "I have to go to some stupid pole thing in Chicago!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thanks for putting this on Empy!

Can you elbow grip and forearm grip repel moves/butterfly?
-
seeing that bra made do the big O!
I better go after my aerial class to ensure I can pay my instructor.

Okay, I have to get myself to Walmart! I have never been btw so I am imagining this Utopia of pole shorts and sports bras,
-
I love this move! It’s awesome.
Can you do the rubber aysha with ebow or forearm grip? That’s how I comofortable doing it, I didn’t use a split or twisted grip until I had lots of practice on forearm and elbow grip.

It kind of sounds like an air invert?

It’s not even about being advanced but knowing a very wide array of moves and tricks and how to teach them and how to modify them to make them easier or harder.
I’ve got a class now where they are still kicking up into their inverts so inverts were taken away but I need more than laybacks and climbing so I taught them side climb to cupid/knee swing, basic teddy bear, aerial fan kicks to pole sit, peter pan, pole bend, sidespin/can opener to star, thigh hold, the roxy, cradle variations. You get the idea.
Also, being able to take those moves and show people how to use transitions, spins and tricks together is really important, especially in the beginning. I teach beginners only 1-2 spins per class, we spend the time working out the spins on both sides then do a little off the cuff routine on both sides, we do it several times too so that if they are not getting a certain area of choreo/steps/trick I can help them and get them to go through the moves seamlessly.
Remember you are teaching movement, not just moves.
The studio I work is just me and the owner. We don’t necessarily agree on pole dance and how it should be taught and it’s hard for us to teach each others classes. I have a girl who goes to both of our classes and I just got her into her scorpio (her first inverted pose) and when she told the owner the owner tried to get her to do an aerial invert?!? Which angered me as this student is not ready for that. Goes back to point 1 – not advanced moves, lots of moves.
At this point I personally have no interest opening a studio we have tons of pole places around here…I prefer being a free agent and working at as many places as I can. -
I think if it’s just tricks, cool! I also think that if pole is to be accepted into the Olympics is needs to be acceptable for everyone to do, this includes children, the same children who would likely perform pole in the Olympics.
If I don’t look at it as pole dancing I don’t have a problem with it. It’s basically chinese pole or vertical bar for kiddos, who might frow to be great DANCERS. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif my 2 cents.

We have fairly thick carpet to and it eats my feet up, soft ballet shoes work great…but I put in another vote for the foot thong.
Here’s a quick little blog about the foot thongs.
