https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif OOHHHHH I think I know now… but I won’t guess. So when’s it my turn!?!?! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
Sascha I’m tempted to PM you and ask if I’m right, but I don’t think you’d tell me anyway…

Haha that’s funny, Natalie. A pole at a bar was what got me interested in pole dancing! I was rather tipsy and up there with a friend, but we were just kinda dancing with it rather than on it… thank God! I want to go back someday and really put on a show… however, I don’t know what kind of pole it is, and I’m really worried it’s stainless…
I’d also laugh hysterically if we were talking about the same bar https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif But you’re in CT, so I doubt it

I’m rather curious as to what sparked this topic… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif

I did what PoleDork suggested for one wall (although I didn’t take the frames off) and this may not work for you, but my pole is in my bedroom right in front of out closet. We have sliding doors on it, and we had planned on replacing them when we moved in. We ended up buying mirrored closet doors https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I don’t need a full-length mirror now, it makes the room look A LOT bigger, and I can see myself on the pole (only from a certain side, the pole can’t be centered right in front of them without me kicking something).
Just an idea, but if you’re looking for super cheap, go with the full-length cheapo mirrors and take off the frames.

That’s a funny story! And I’m surprised the moral of your story isn’t that you should figure out how to get out of a move before you try it… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
If you can do a gemini, try switching to a gemini and getting down like you normally would from an invert. You could also just wrap your free leg around the other side of the pole and slide down and land on your back as usual. I wouldn’t recommend just letting go and hoping you land on your free foot (lemme guess: that’s what you did https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif) Maybe even grab the pole with both hands and pull yourself upright a bit then unhook your leg.
I’m glad you didn’t seriously hurt yourself… or the mirror.

Hmmm that sounds like it would be less messy, but like I said, it has to get in between the threads on the joints. So if enough came out that it would kinda drip down between the threads as you "wrote" with it, I think that would be great!
And depending on how much this stuff costs, maybe try getting both kinds??? WD-40 has several uses around the house so you could find a use for the one you found you don’t like. It’s the best fix for a squeaky door, sliding doors that stick, etc. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hmmm it would probably depend on your preference. The can I have has both a spray (like a mist) and a straw-type thing that jets it out. I found I like the spray better, easier to control. Keep in mind you’re applying this to the threads on the joints to the pole, so it needs to get in between the threads so wiping it on may not be as effective (at least this didn’t work for me, anyway). A more direct spray, like the straw-thing, just seems to make more of a mess because it’s more concentrated and it drips everywhere. The mist-like spray still makes a mess but more of it gets where you want it and less drip. Does that make sense? Either way you’re going to end up cleaning the whole pole with soap and water when you’re done https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
When you say "pen" is it like a straw thing like I’m describing or like a thing you "write" the WD-40 onto the object with??? Just wondering…

oooo that’s a lot to get all at once! Congrats, I’m gonna go find that video now! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I posted this exact same question under Dance Poles when I first came to this site before I got my spinning pole. Now I can answer it, too!
I have to say static by far. It’s too easy to get going to fast when you’re spinning. You work so hard to be able to get a lot of momentum on static then you have to learn the opposite when you go to spinning. I’ve only done one video on spinning and it took a lot of control. I also get dizzy really easily…
I can see why people like it, though. I just personally don’t.

I laughed so hard when I saw that only because I posted a link to the exact same video not too long ago under pics and vids! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Words are eluding me at the moment so I’ll just…

OOooo I did like that! Hmmm… let me think about this…
Felix’s video was impressive because of her flexibility and the speed of the series of moves at the 2 minute mark, my favorite spot. She also seems to have a strength advantage (however, the muscles on her are to the point where I don’t think they’re attractive anymore… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif ). She due to her flexibility she pulled off some moves that I’ve personally never seen; the ones on the spinning pole. She also has great timing with the music; notice her jade dismount went perfectly with the music and that she knew exactly how far off the floor she would be after all those moves going down the pole (however the audio was obviously edited… all the cheering wasn’t in it).
Cons: Those fast moves were all Geminis, Scorpios, and inverted thigh holds (maybe a butterfly, I don’t remember at the moment). Those are all moves I can do and I’m a beginner! She also didn’t have a very varied routine – she was on the pole 95% of the time: pretty much all inverts. No spins, a dash of floorwork, but that was pretty much it.
Jenyne’s was rather opposite. She had a wider range of moves that she performed – spins, inverts, etc. She also included props (umbrella and rain coat) which always adds interest. I love that she did the inverted body wave!!! I have to go back to the variety thing: she did moves that are kinda considered the staple moves but at the same time added the shocker ones in there.
And it’s hard for me to add many more positive things because the video was edited!!! Which brings me to cons: her more impressive moves weren’t as impressive as Felix’s (but still impressive!) Not as many shock-factor moves in there. Included more standard moves.
But overall I can’t pick a favorite… Felix’s had more impressive moves but I wasn’t too fond of the routine overall. Jenyne’s was more of a routine (I think… darn edited-ness!) and had more variety but didn’t have as impressive moves. Not to mention Jenyne’s was easier on the ears… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
