I’ve been reading the threads about all this and really haven’t been able to form a coherent thought to respond because it just makes me so mad!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
I’m going to agree with Kari and Day: hearing this made me not want to go to the competition, and I thought it was ridiculous that they charge a yearly membership fee. I’m going to the competition anyway to support Amber as well as the other dancers, plus I haven’t ever been to a pole jam or even met another person in person that poled and have been looking forward to this trip more because of that than the competition. This whole situation is just so…. so… STUPID! The USPDF workshops were pretty much full, they don’t own the dancers, there is no reason that they should feel threatened by another studio offering workshops.
Way to go Veena for offering to have a couple workshops! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I had to admit I was kinda sad when I heard that because I really really want to go to one of her workshops, but I can’t. I could only afford one from the beginning, and it was originally between Amber and Karol. I went with Amber because I kinda-sorta know her "personally" because of being on the site here and I’ve been wanting to meet and pole with her for a long time. (No offense to Karol, of course) But now one of my other big pole idols is going too and I’m too broke. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Hopefully Veena will be around somewhere and I’ll get to at least meet her in person, anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Body & Pole just added 2 workshops on Saturday March 20th with VEENA!!!!
You can sign up online at http://www.bodyandpole.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Veena was so sweet to offer to come to NYC just to teach these workshops! She felt so bad for all the students that had their workshops cancelled because of the USPDF’s actions against us.
We are so excited and honored to have her at Body & Pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I SO want to go to one, but I could only afford one workshop and I’m signed up for Amber’s USPDF workshop… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I’m going to be hard-pressed for cash for the trip as it is, too!
Maybe I’ll still get to meet Veena in person sometime over the weekend, anyway. I’ll stay optimistic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Ok, you all realize, we’re going to have to find out our real names. I don’t think the hotel operator will be able to connect me to "foxy rei’s room!"
Hi, my name is Ellen, and I am a pole addict. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
LOL I’ll send you a message with my real name so you can find me on Christina’s list https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I ditto what polergirl said… loaning/borrowing money from friends and family is usually a very bad idea because it can so easily break the relationship.
My husband borrowed a lot of money from a friend right before we got married and we still owe him a bit less than half… The friend doesn’t care, he sees us as like a bank account because he’s afraid he’ll spend it if he has it himself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif I resent that because we’re not a bank, and it’s not like we actually have the money sitting around – we don’t have it at all!
So yes, get something in writing and stick to your plan… otherwise, your friendship might be ruined and your pole will be forever a symbol of that.

Awesome, Fleur! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Even though I’ve heard your "story" a couple times already, I don’t get tired of hearing it.
Kudos for teaching shoulders back and down right off the bat… that’s probably my biggest struggle right now, I can’t tell if I’m doing it right! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif Oh, and I’m jealous of your Poleskivvies…
Anyhoo…. yay Fleur! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’ll be at the W too, how awesome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Just want to triple check and be sure we’re all on the same page. There are multiple W Hotels in NYC. The Poletential crew is at W The Court, at E 39th and Lexington. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifDitto – sharing a room with THE Dayanara! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Let’s see…
Plank
Flatline scorpio, maybe?
Pike
Thigh hold
Good ol’ fashioned pole sitYou said no inverts, but how about a butterfly? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
That’s all I’m coming up with at the moment. Have fun when you get your X-Pole!

Just an FYI, a BIG group of Poletential ladies and friends from all over the place will be staying at the W Hotel- The Court
I’m getting excited! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
~Fleur
*giggles* I’m so excited! I can’t wait to hang out with the Poletential crew! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I want… shorty shorts or booty shorts that actually cover my butt cheeks! I feel like I’m always hanging out of anything I put on, and it’s not like I have a big butt or anything, either.
I’d love a set of poleskivvies, but they’re a bit on the pricey side… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Yes, I’m guilty of this as well… I can do all my spins both left and right-handed (I tend to favor the left because it has better grip even though I’m a righty https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif ) but anything inverted is with the right – right hand on inside or on bottom, depending on the move.
Since I’m practically starting from scratch I should probably take the opportunity to learn lefty inverts… heck, I’ve been back on the pole a month and still can’t even do an inverted crucifix! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
So I’m with ya on this one… both side learners unite! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

Thanks RaRa! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I put up a quick vid if anyone is interested… wasn’t by best because I started spinning and didn’t want to let go all the way, but meh.

Also, if you open the thread itself in a new tab you can bookmark/favorite the actual thread… sometimes it doesn’t show up as its own url if you just open it straight up.
I’m not sure what "bookmark topic" does, but the "subscribe topic" thing is just so you get an email whenever someone replies to the thread.

I DID IT! (with thigh-high boots on, but I did it!)
I just uploaded a pic to my profile pics… I didn’t quite have time to lay back all the way (10 second timer, you know). I had more problems with spinning when I laid back all the way than I did with the pain.
I found I had more problems with the pain from the eyelets in my boots pressing into my ankle, lol. I also slid my lower ankle a bit more to the side so that the very bottom of my shin was more against the pole than the ankle joint was, if that makes sense… took some of the pressure of it.
I can’t wait to try this when I get my leg grip back in full swing again https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
