I saw the promo when it came out in June and I’m still dying to get all the Bobbi DVD’s.

I like it! Bigger avatar & screen-name was a good idea. I also like the smaller "subject" line for each reply in a topic.

Yeah I would take classes if I had any near me. I would love to have someone show me all the little things that make a move "work" and look good. When you watch a video you really have to pay attention to hand placement and all that. Art of Pole is good for that though, Jamilla shows where to place your fingers and everything.
My hubby was so worried I was going to drop a couple hundred on a pole and stop using it after the first week. He thought I wasn’t going to like it or something but boy was he wrong!

That is pretty cool! I wish she listed them from worst to best too. ^_^ Then we could use it as a reference for all those people promoting Carmen Elektra poles.

There are girls bigger than you pole dancing so don’t worry about that…….
If your wrists hurt during the pole sit you might be doing it wrong. I tried it once or twice and I’m waiting until I’m stronger because it is not as easy as it looks. I have a feeling that it an intermediate move. You are supposed to sit on the fleshy "triangle" part past your index and thumb finger and right before the wrist. And when you sit you aren’t actually sitting like in a chair but your hips have to be totally rotated towards the pole like in the "Layback".
My wrists hurt at first too… outside and inside. Outside because my skin was rubbing on the pole and it burned. Inside because I wasn’t used to working my hands and arms. Before pole dancing I had trouble doing push-ups and I thought it was because I had bad wrists (like brittle bones or something). Now that I have pole danced I can do push-ups and I realized my wrists were weak not bad.

You don’t have to feel like you are less of a dancer if you do things at home because there are lots of self-taught dancers that are soooo good. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I’m teaching myself watching DVD’s ("Art of Pole" set and "Vertical Dance" set) and some on-line vids. I like doing it at home because I can go on my pole whenever I want to; I can practice morning, day, night, late night… hahaha! Even if you took classes I imagine that you’d still want or need your own pole at home. You’d need some extra practice time outside of class or you might get addicted and class time would not be enough! The only downside to doing stuff by yourself is that you don’t have someone to correct you as you do things or have a spotter once you get more advanced.
I got my own pole with the plan that I could do basic stuff at home watching vids and once I got stronger or saved up money I’d take a class. My only problem is that the closest dance schools are at least 2 hours away. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
Oh and I’d jump on BeSpun classes if you are in the LA area. I love their style of dancing and they have lots of classes to offer! Your lucky because that area seems to have lots pole dance schools.

Stripper Poles: Not Just For Strippers
How to Buy a Stripper Pole

If I had the money I would sooo buy it from ya. I have a 2" steel pole but I really think for winter I’ll need something that is grippy right away. *sigh* Oh money…. Good luck!
-
I have Platinum Stages pole and it is stainless steel. I hear steel poles that are broken in are just as grippy as any X-Pole. I wouldn’t know but I keep hearing that from other dancers. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
After my pole is warmed up it becomes really grippy. I can see how it might be harder to warm it up in winter. -
