Just loosen the overall tension between the floor and ceiling. Nothing with any of the screws. Make sense?

Delete him. It’s THAT simple 🙂

I have been single for 7 years. Yes, SEVEN years. I have been poling for almost 2 of those years. I have been on probably 30+ dates in those 2 years and I have learned it is better to wait a little while to introduce the subject. I too agree that I don’t want to ever be with anyone that does not support it and it is SUPER hard to “hide” something that consumes so much of my life but I also think more times than not I have been automatically “judged” if I’m open about it too soon. I’m talking first dates (blind dates) in general. A lot of times too I get to know them better and realize oh man I am SO glad I didn’t tell them that I pole! lol You do what you feel comfortable with, I’m only sharing my general experience. Good luck!!! :))

If you upload a video directly to FB then the copyright applies. If you post a video as a link which is what it does when you “share” your studio veena video it doesnt matter what music it has. If you choose to share your video from your Veena page then it is public and you don’t have to be a member to view it.

Yup, storing that one for later use! high five.

hahaha… I cleared out my entire living room to put my poles in. My landlord is my bests friend’s 82 year old grandma and she loves that I do it!

That is GREAT stuff to work on Danielle. Thank you! I just took a bunch of videos of where I’m at so far so I will post that string for people to critique too…I’m gonna nail this soon hopefully 🙂

I’m talking about all inverts. Basic, chopper, especially air inverts. I’ve seen people invert so many ways (lead with 1 leg bent, straight straddle, straight pike) and no matter how I try it I have bent legs and I kinda get the leprecaun leg thing goin’ on!

I’m actually in WI but I’m only about 30 mins east of St. Paul 🙂

The only time I wipe down my chrome pole is after the kids play on it. They tend to leave a lot of grease on it. I wipe it down and then rub “dry hands” all over it again. Then I leave it dirty until it gets greasy again.

I started with a “tripod”. Head and hands on floor, lift your knees up onto your elbows and balance there. Get comfortable there and then start trying to lift legs up toward the ceiling. It’s a slow process just keep at it! 🙂

oh me too! me too! I have to figure out what my user name is. I know I set it up awhile ago but never used it. I will add you guys if that’s ok??

I’m the same as AnnVann. Other than my very first 1 hour intro to pole class, I’ve always been on spin and change it to static only if I’m learning something new that is safer on static. I had read initially that spin mode required more strength and that most people that start on static have a really difficult time adjusting to spin so I just skipped straight to spin and figured it would be easier to learn static after spin! LOL And… It was! I’ve never taken a formal spin pole class I just learned on my own. I’ve never had dizzy or nausea issues but some friends of mine do. I took professional dance lessons all thru high school so I’ve learned to “spot†a pirouette very well from that training, I have no clue if that helps me or not but I just don’t focus on anything. I kinda blur out my vision if that makes sense?? It is great fun once you get comfortable with it. I at it!!!

It is very top heavy so if you don’t feel strong enough for sure get some help. Sounds like you just didn’t loosen it quite enough. You probably over tightened it the first place (natural since you don’t want to fall lol) but just keep twisting and it will become short enough to just lay right down on the floor.

I have a pole page on FB too if anyone likes to see pole stuff in their feeds feel free to like the page 🙂 Happy poling! https://www.facebook.com/PoleProgress

Done 🙂

I have a 40mm and absolutely love it. I have a really hard time with 50’s. And I’ve never tried a 45 but want to!
-
Ok this is going to sound REALLY dumb and nobody believes me until I actually show them BUT…if I use my little L wrench the wrong way it will not spin. You have to put the SHORT end in and crank it a little ways at a time (because the long end hits the floor) in order to fully release the pins. If you stick the long end in and just twist it like a screw driver the pins will come out but the pole will not spin. Swear to God… I thought my pole was broken until I figured it out.

Your tips are great Veena, thanks!!
-
Oooooooh…. I so so so agree. I just decided to make choreographing a routine my next challenge. I’ve tried a couple times and become so frustrated I gave up. Not this time though! I will be interested to see though if there is such a resource. Good topic!
-
Amen GataAgressiva!! I don’t think it’s really about changing anyone’s viewpoint. THAT would be impossible. I think a positive environment could be created though. And should be created 🙂 Thanks everyone for your opinions!!!

I agree, it WOULD be a shame, and would more than likely happen. I am reminded of a quote I read on Diana Boyle’s blog once… she stated: “An inability to watch a display of athleticism, strength, flexibility and sensuality without perceiving the dancer as an object is THEIR problem, not the dancers.”
LOVE THAT QUOTE!!! Can’t spend our lives caring what everyone else thinks… AMEN.
