I was told that Silver City Cabaret was having a pole contest.

I searched on the web, and found this link:

I kinda want to do it, but I’m also kind of intimidated by the strip club thing. Anybody have opinions?

I’m hearing that the studio had trouble with all removable poles, right? <snip> If the studio where the pole fell down happened to have a dance floor or aerobic type floor, the kind that are meant to give and slightly spring back, that could cause a problem if the floor is not taken into account when installing the pole.

Thanks so much for the opinions guys! The studio WAS previously a ballet studio, so I’m guessing the spring of the floor may be part of their issue. I never would have thought of that!

I’m really leaning toward the L’il Minx — the price (since I can buy it locally), the easy of putting it up, and the lower maintenance are all big points in its favor. I’m planning on doing a video when I get it — I have just the song!!

Oh — and the studio didn’t "get rid" of the XP’s by throwing them out, they just sold them. I would have been the first in line for THAT dumpster diving! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks again!!

SO — I did it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Here’s my challenge video:

I think it came out ok. My perfectionist side has picked it all apart, but I’m telling her to shut up and just have fun! This is my first video, so feedback is definitely appreciated.

I took an S-Factor class in Houston almost two years ago, when they first opened up, and I loved it. I was in okay shape (working out somewhat sporadically on my own), and the workout kicked my butt at first. What I LOVE about S-Factor — they concentrate on sloooow movement and sensuality. From the very beginning, music is a huge part of the class. I always left feeling sexier than when I went in, and that feeling spilled over into the rest of my life.

What I don’t love is how expensive they were!! It seemed they still had California prices in Houston. I think they have modified the costs some now, as well as adding some less expensive options. I didn’t continue b/c I was pregnant, and didn’t feel like I could keep up w/ the physical demands. Then I moved.

If there is anyway you can, I recommend going to class AND buying a pole. Having a pole means you can always practice, play and progress in the way that works for you. (Can you tell I have a bad case of pole lust???)

So is it ok to do the challenge with no pole at all?

Here’s hoping!

Congrats on getting this one at all! I can barely even get my feet off the ground. I can’t figure out why. My abs aren’t super strong, but I can do a pole sit, bend all the way over backwards, and then sit back up. I just feel like I have no "stick" to the pole. I’d post a video of my feeble attempts, but I don’t have a pole at home. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

I’ll be eagerly watching this topic for any advice!
