Welcome! I loved Peru when I got to go for a month last year, didn’t get to spend much time in Lima though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Take it slow if you’re having upper arm pain. I’ll hope that it goes away soon.

Welcome! Only advice I can think of is have fun and be safe (sholders down and back with those spins and such).
Enjoy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
So I must preface this with the fact that I am bias cause I’ve been a swimmer my whole life…but swimming is great cause it focuses on core, arms and depending on your technique legs. That helps me out, especially if you rotate your strokes (not all free). Or if you know any or are decent at figuring things out, Synchronized swimming basic skills are good (layouts, ballet legs, egg beater, etc).
But what you’re doing sounds good already. Maybe sneak away to a playground at night. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
So I’m a 9.5 which is annoying with half sizes cause they don’t do them. I know some gals like to get a size smaller cause the plastic will stretch, however some sites recommend 1 size bigger. From my experience (and granted I only have 2 pairs of shoes but both bought online) the pleasers tend to be about true to size, meaning I got a 10 and they fit the same as my 10 normal heels. But Ellie seems to run big (again only in my experience) and I got a 10 and could have easily rocked a 9 and still prob woulda had a bit of room.
If you’re really not sure get a company with a decent return policy. Or go to an adult store nearby, try on some styles/brands similar to what you are considering buying so you can test the sizes yourself. It also prob depends on if you’re going for basic heels or boots since boots tend to be a little more constraining than heels. -
Yay for getting a pole soon! Hope you enjoy it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Maybe just doing body folds (I don’t know what they are really called) toward your toes and then to the sides to loosen up a bit. Or Lying backwards on an exercise ball might help stretch things out a bit. I’m sure some other people on here have some better ideas. That’s all I can think of.

Welcome!

Welcome! Your monthly pole jams sound awesome.
-
I wiggle mine back an forth a little bit if it won’t tighten enough and try again. It seems to work for me.
-
8ft won’t limit you unless your doing a ton of combo "falling" (I can’t think of a better description) moves. My pole can only be 7ft 10 inches. Although a 12-14 ft pole would be awesome! But either would be fine.
-
I had a Lil’ Mynx for my first pole and loved it. I replaced it with an x-pole when I moved and my new place was 2 inches shorted than my ceiling (grr). But I like both poles. X-pole is good for a bit more height flexibility (Lil mynx unless custom ordered is 8-10ft) but Lil Mynx was easier to take down and up. I head platinum stages is good too but I have no experience with them
-
Yay! I’m glad he understands. Now you can be safe and have more fun (no ouchy scratches) when your x-pole arrives.
-
They are finally in stock. I ordered mine back in Aug and got them 3 days ago. Haven’t tried em out yet but they def are sturdy which is a big plus right there.
-
I hear a hair dryer helps. I’ve never tried it but even though it would take some time outta each practice, if it works it is shorter than 7 months
-
I can imagine some people really decking out. Always fun, but a ton of work Yours looks good! Especially considering it is the cheapo halloween stuff.
-
Welcome!
-
Yay! That looks like fun. Who did the make-up? Wounded stuff is always really fun to do.

Hi and Welcome! If you’re asking about Veena’s lessons, they are already set up from easiest (1st page) to hardest as you scroll down the page and to the nest pages. Enjoy getting into pole!
-
after the lovely drinking games a bout of musical chairs is always amusing, or before since sometime they can get pretty intense. You could get a halloween cd (My folks always played a haloween hits one which has good music on it). Or you could make it a drinking game instead of taking away chairs you chould do a shot or something.
-
Veena has an awesome article on what makes a good pole somewhere on here and then I think it is Foxy Rei who did a video on "why peekaboo poles sucks" or some title like that.
Or just google for things about good quality poles and tons of stuff will come up.
He needs to know that they are not the same and it is dangerous for you to do much more than your doing on your pole. -
That would be so nice. Right now I just copy and paste it into word and save it that way but a folder would be nice cause I often forget to check word before coming on here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

You guys are so good. I keep telling myself I’ll stretch today and then I always do it mentally but never physically. Tomorrow is my goal. I get off work at 8am (yes am, I get there at 4:30a for my short shift) so I’ll be up and will have little excuse not to… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
I like the idea of that v stretch. My inner thighs are pretty tight. Too much treading water while teaching swimming and not enough stretching. That will have to be one I do tomorrow.
Great idea for a thread btw. It’s making me feel guilter than normal for not stretching so I’ll be more likely to do it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
