I would loove to do this too! I love dancing and wish there was somewhere I could pole in clubs without having to be overtly sexual and take my clothes off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I’d like to do proper pole not just gyrating!
I’ve also seen pics of people poling in Ibiza and that was about a year or 2 ago.
The only other thing I’ve heard that is similar to this is where a pole school have a thing going with a local club and the pole school provide the club with dancers (no stripping) but I saw a video of it and they didnt seem to be doing any tricks as the podium was too near the crowd…. soo it’s close but not close enough! May be an idea worth mentioning it to your pole teacher though (if you have one)?
P.s. If anyone knows of somewhere you can do this in the UK let me know! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I don’t have any experience with the lil mynx pole but I’m also surprised to hear about rough edges on an xpole and was also going to ask if it’s definitely a real? My friends friend bought what was advertised as an xpole but it was a fake. The rim around the top was a different colour and it cracked and broke away making it unstable and unsafe to use. I have a real xpole and there are no rough edges or anything like that on it. Xpole customer services are very, very helpful so maybe ring them up and tell them the problem with rough edges and check with them that the supplier does stock the official xpoles so you can confirm whether or not your friends one was real?
I would recommend xpole (real ones!) to anyone as I’ve never had any problems with them and as I said their customer service has been nothing but brilliant. It only takes a matter of seconds to changes the Xpole from static to spinny… Just make sure you keep the alan key in a pole especially for pole stuff https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
It takes a couple of minutes to take down but its worth it as you get such a wonderful, secure pole… a few more minutes is no biggie https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh right ok, thanks. I was going to get the routines set but sadly I missed the deadine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Maybe next time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

No problem https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I found it the other week and thought it was really helpful so glad it could be off some help to others too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

if you brush clear mascara over your eyebrows they stay in place all day, the strays are kept tame and you don’t have to cut any hair…. this works best on longer haired brows https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Veena https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Angel I’ll drop you an email tomorrow about the photo so we can discuss it…. early start tomorrow so got to get to bed now! But I never "sell" images as such (as in I don’t sell copyright of the image), but I’m certainly happy to license an image to you (this is much, much cheaper). Shall I contact you on the email address on your website? Or is there another address that would be better?

I dont think it’s all of them as the reverse crescent in the pic above (not sure of the proper name) isn’t on the iphone app. It gives you a fair few though.
As far as seeing moves I’d recommend the pole dance community syllabus as it has videos as well as pics and also splits the moves into levels of difficulty

These look like the same pictures that are on the pocket pole studio iphone app https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I havent been able to find anywhere to buy them either https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
I just get Pleaser shoes from shops on ebay. The only place I’ve seen a couple of styles been sold in shops is London but they seemed to be made for standing around in and not for actually doing pole tricks in! They only have a handful of styles. Bizarrely all the shops seem to sell the same few styles but if you’re looking for a pair that are fairly common then London might be the place to go?

Absolutely STUNNING pic! Wow!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Thank you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Gorgeous photo!
I would just consider it a butterfly too – you don’t have to bend the extended leg. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Thanks
Yes, I wasn’t too sure as I haven’t seen it in too many routines as people tend to go straight to extended butterfly. I looove this version though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

A dead lift is when you invert without "jumping" into it so to speak. So you literally use all your strength to lift yourself so that means no kicking and no rocking! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I dont know if there are any lessons on it as I don’t have Veena’s lessons yet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I couldnt find any videos of a good deadlift invert form the floor but if you look at videos by people like Jenyne Butterfly, take note of how they invert… No kicks, just legs up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Thats what you’re aiming for with a deadlift
It is quite hard a first but as always practice makes perfect and it looks a lot better, makes you look very strong and feels great the first time you do it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif
-
I think I had this a bit too at first. Not counting but just "preparing" myself before going in for the kill!
I’ll echo what the other girls have said in that practicing the dead lift will help but if you havent quite got the strength to do that yet, try to train yourself not to jump or psyche yourself up too much but doing it more slowly.
So just rock forward once… then rock forward but not so much…. then eventually, with practice you will be able to do it without rocking at all and the dead lift will come https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Ok girls I’ve had lots of attempts buying comfy pleaser shoes so here goes!
My first three pair of pleasers were bought at the same time. One was closed toe ballet pump style, one was open toe with straps round the whole foot (both 2inch platform) and the last an open toe mule with a 1.5 inch platform. I bought size 6’s as thats my normal size and they were all too small… but in different ways!
Close toes were too small length ways but comfortable width ways
Strappy sandles were ok but my toes were pushed forward so much they looked ridiculous hanging over the edge!
The mules were unwearable as they were far too small and far too tight.The closed toe are my photo shoes as I can’t walk in them at all as they cripple my feet but I can put them on and the open toe mules cant even be used for photos as they are so uncomfortable to wear https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
I then bought a size 7 and they are purple 2 inch platform mules which have two large straps across the front to hold your foot in (great for grip when climbing). These fit much better but they are very slightly too big so I didn’t feel too comfortable flinging my legs around the pole. However, I put half insoles in these and now I can pole in them.
After that I bought another pair (size 7) of mules similar too the size 6 ones I had, thinking that because the first pair were sooo small, the 7 in theory, should fit perfectly…. but no! The 7 were huge and so big even insoles made no difference. I have since given up on lower platform mules https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
So I bought yet another pair of pleasers thinking that somehwre out there, there must be a pair that fit (and also I managed to pick them up cheap from ebay https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif). These ones were black size 7 with an ankle strap. They actually fit (yey!) although the strap round the toes digs in a bit after a while but I can still pole well in these so they’re keepers.
The next pair were size 7 showgirl style (the ones in my profile picture). I bought these because I wanted the security of having my foot fully strapped in and also the grip at the front from the clear material. These are the most comfortable shoes ever! I finally found a pair of pleasers I could genuinely walk about in all day. They dont even feel like your wearing high heels because of the platform. I dont need insoles and I can swing my feet around as much as I like without thinking my shoes will fly off. I would highly recommend the showgirl style to anyone wanting they’re first pair of pleasers. I would however, recommend getting ones with a completely clear platform as that means the strap where the buckle is will be the same plasticy material as the rest of the shoe (my platform is silver and the strap was also silver and was a different, flimsy material which consequently broke…. luckily I managed to fix it with ribbon but it’s best not to t=get these to save you the hassle!)
So despite the broken buckle strap, the showgirl shoes are amazingly comfy.
To conclude (lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif), I would definitely get a size up if in normal shoes you are edging towards a 6.5 but all in all…. it seems to be a bit of a guessing game when ordering over the internet. I actually posted a topic similar to this a while ago asking if anyone knew of a shop where you could try pleaser shoes on but as far as I know there doesn’t seem to be one….. do let me know if anyone finds one!
(NB: I’m from the UK so american sizes are different but the theory of this essay should be the same https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif hehe)

Hi
I’d like to submit some images to Pole Spin. What are you licensing terms for images that are published in the magazine? As a photographer, I do not want to give away copyright as I will want to use these photos else where in the future and I have seen that a small percentage of magazines sometimes want to keep copyright of any images submitted, hopefully you guys don’t!
Many thanks
Hannah Elizabeth

Thanks for all the replies girls
also please note that if you try to keep your hips square, it may take you longer to reach the floor in your splits. that’s where you’ll need to make the decision on whether you want to ‘cheat it’ a little by opening the hip, or go for the technically pure square hips split.
Jay jay I’ve heard cheating can damage you? Not sure but thats one of the reasons why I didnt want to cheat anyway. I dont mind the challenge of it being harder https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Aha thank you, I see what you mean

I must admit I have only been able (and brave enough!) to do this a couple of times and like everyone else it took ages!
One thing that really helped me was ‘walking’ down the pole with your hands. If you go into the advanced plank position but keep your top hand on the pole, you can edge your bottom hand down and slowly get down far enough so you have to take your top hand off. If you make sure your legs are up as high as possible, so they’re in position as they would be as if you were in the final position for the CAR, you can lean back and when you feel comfortable take your bottom hand off. Be very careful to release back and NOT to just fall back otherwise you could fall on your head and seriously injure yourself
I also find that putting the big cushions off a sofa onto the floor helps you feel more comfortable doing it because there’s a soft landing underneath you just in case!
Hope that helps. Also search for CAR on here and read through the other replies in different threads as these are what helped me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

that was incredible!

Thanks girls https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I wasn’t sure whether to post because it provides another link outside the site and some websites don’t like that but glad it’s ok https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Spread the word… Spread the pole! lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Ooo wish I’d seen this earlier!
I did a pole workshop with Josiah today though so I think I might break in half if I do anymore stretching tonight!
Will this be happening same time next week? I’d like to join https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
