Ohhh, thanks so much for posting that! I keep thinking about that clip when I see this pole, but I couldn’t really remember where I saw it…
I love all the possibilities the freestanding pole offers, but I’m worried about scenerios like that one when the bf, or (male) friends, would try a wild spin like Conan did!
(Plus I’m expecting the thing to be too expensive, and it doesn’t spin (yet), so too many cons for me at the mo’ anyway) -
Personally, I do like to give out stars. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Lots and lots of stars. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I only give five star ratings though. I use them when I don’t have the time to comment, or don’t really know what to comment, but I always like to use the five stars just to show my respect for the vid.
So I would suggest to get rid of the option to give less than five stars; or replace it with another way of quick-respect-showing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
Just my 2 cents..

Okay, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif I’m putting my ubergeek on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
The diameter of a circle is the circumference divided by pi (3.1415 etc.). Which means that your pole is 152/pi = 48.38 mm.
Of course, I don’t know how accurately you measured the circumference, but there you go, your pole is slightly smaller that 50mm.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif It’s so great to have you here! I just watched some of your YT-vids! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif They’re fantastic!!
-
Ow, yay!! I’m really glad to hear that! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Now on to the bruises and sore muscles https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -
Dunno. But at the absolute bottom of the homepage there is a link (named ‘Contact us’) to a feedback/questions form. I’m guessing that’s the easiest way to contact Veena and/or Webmaster, so I’d just use that..
-
I’m pretty sure that option isn’t anywhere on the site. It’s probably best to send Veena an email with your request.

Good luck! Slippery hands really suck!

Most embarrassing was probably last week when I bumped really hard into the pole with my pubic bone.. It stayed sore for a few days. I was glad that it happened when I was practicing on my own, and I surely didn’t share the experience with anyone afterwards. Let’s say I don’t recommend it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Worst encounter, since it was the most painful, was when I hit the pole with my inner ankle while getting out of the pole. I just really miscalculated the distance to the pole.. It was swollen for a few days, and blue for over a week. Ouchie! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
But then again, if these are my worst.. I’m still kinda lucky I guess https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Welcome to the site! I’m so excited for you!! Have lots and lots of fun, both on the pole and on the site! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If it’s an x-pole and it looks like stainless steel, it’s actually chrome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif . Which is pretty grippy to begin with..
About the clothes, I’m pretty sure they are shipped overseas. I recently saw a blog by Trena (Ireland) who had ordered some SV-wear https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif .

I actually think you can. Or maybe I’m not understanding the discussion correctly (always a possibility https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif ).
When you upload the video to the gallery, in the ‘Upload video’ screen, the third button from the left at the very bottom of the screen looks like a little photo camera. It says ‘Set as screenshot’. I used this to choose the image shown as thumbnail in the gallery.
But if you mean after the vid is already in the gallery, I don’t know, I don’t have any experience with that. Just take a look at the ‘Upload video’ screen/tab, and see what you can come up with..
Good luck!

Also: don’t forget to bring your windex/rubbing alcohol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Yay for you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Tee hee, ow well, if all goes well you’ll get another chance to negotiate soon enough right? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif
Just go and rock the place https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gifAll in all, congrats!! And good luck next Tuesday, on your very first day! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Wow, JC https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif , that sounds wonderful! I wish they had studios like that around here! I’m sure you’ll have a great time there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Dunno about facebook. Maybe they just didn’t close his account, or there’s someone with the same name https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif
Unf. it’s true; he was 21 yrs old, was studying music studies in France, and tragically drowned in the river after having drinks with some friends at a local bar.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Well anyway, he sure left us with some great performances! I bet he’d be honored to know that he still cheers up so many people around the globe! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
-
Ahh, those definitely made me smile too!
Did you read that he died a couple of months ago? Anyway, very sad.
But yay for the youtube vids!!!
I think he’s kind of cute https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif And man! does he know how to do tricks on a pole!!
Thanks for the links! Chinese pole rocks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif -
Wow! ABCs! I see you’re picking up some German https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
But seriously, pics and vids would be freaking awesome!! We’ll live vicariously through you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif -
Maybe TaraKarina’s vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msy7TtyAVIc&feature=fvst. It’s definitely clean, and it’s the YT pole dancing vid with the most views (over 3 mln now).
Of course one of Veena’s vids. As Sissybuns mentioned her March (St. Patrick’s Day) Challenges are great. The first is more airy, with lots of light footed dancing; the second one is more up-tempo, with more ‘heavier’ moves. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdN7E_nHKWo&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qbLdXzlKN0&feature=related)
But there are soooooo many more. I bet the other SV ladies have many great suggestions for you too. Especially here on-site there are a lot nice vids. Maybe it’s also good to show them different levels of pole dance, since you won’t be hanging upside down in a full split anytime soon https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif . And I personally always like vids of men doing pole as well, because it shows the strength aspect even more. (And it underlines once more that it’s deffo not just for strippers!)
Anyway, I’d be happy to look at more vids, if you need me too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
It’s really too bad you can’t browse vids yourself!Also, I’d love to see what other suggestions are posted. Can’t wait to watch them all! *giggles from the excitement* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I had a skirt/shorts combo thingy like that once. It was meant as a tennis skirt. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Great job girl!!! I’m positive you totally deserved it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
And kudos for being friendly and encouraging too, you are a true lady! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
(I wish everyone was gracious like that..) -
(invertin’s for crazy folk!)
Teehee! That made me giggle https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifBut you’re sooo right! Everyone has their own pace! For me the spins came really easy, and even the basic invert. But it took me months to properly get butterfly and inverted crucifix. I was months behind on those, and I saw girls that were two levels behind me do them just like that. It can be frustrating at times, but you just have to let it go, keep practicing, and trust that you’ll get there eventually. Oh! And focus on your strengths! Whether it is your dancing, booty pops/shakes, one or two spins.. I had lots of fun perfecting the moves I was doing okay with!

Wow! Those are some hugh accomplishments! Congratulations!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Do you have your goals for next month yet? -
For me, when I came back from vacation, my kneepits were back to being really sensitive. So now I’m working on getting them more ‘desensitized’ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif . I try to do all the moves I can do that involve the knee pits at least once or twice every practice. And in the process, my hamstrings get a good workout too. Hopefully it’ll be less painful for all of us really soon!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
BTW, I totally forgot about the side climb! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif Used to do that a lot, now: never.. Thanks! Good luck to all!!! -
Why not go in to watch first? That way you can get an idea of the level of competition and of course the atmosphere. If you like it, you can start working on your routine and enroll. Plus, if you decide you’re not ready, you’ll still have had a great night of watching live pole dancing, and maybe more inspiration too!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
