Hi,
I have a reply now and I'm forwarding the emails I have from before – thank you though.

I love this and I love the song, Jenyne is so amazing. I wish I had long swooshy hair like that.

This made it into the UK media this week! x

It’s always worth having a 5 minute feedback session at the end of class, this could be when you’re stretching And cooling down. Just ask the attendees if there is anything they would like to focus on, review next time etc. Afterall, if you get feedback from each session you know how to make it more accessable next time. 🙂
I personally am looking for a studio to attend atm and my priorities are:
1. Friendliness and professionalism of staff. If they are comfortable the attendees will be.
2. That puts an emphasis on correct technique and safety – If the tell you to kick into an invert they’re off the list.
3. The range and availability of different types of classes (it would be nice to be able to do fitness and dance classes at the same place maybe even some fusion like pole/belly or pole on pointe)
4. A place which doesn’t tie you in to 6 weeks of regular sessions at one time due to my work schedule over summer (but has the option to do so as it is best to have regular sessions).
5. A place that has at least a few supervised (don’t want to stuck with someone who’s gonna do what I just did on the laminate) open pole sessions a week.
6. I don’t mind a little chattiness between students and teachers it helps with communication, but no mobile phone conversations with cheryl or mindy or whoever during class. My last instructor did this and it was extremely unprofessional, I made a complaint and she didn’t stop!
Everyone has made food points but I hope that helps. 🙂 x

Ok need to get serious about time restrictions atm the moment I have fantasies of having
Monday – ballet
Wednesday – Contemporary
Sunday – Gymnastics
I think it might be a bit ambitious! But perhaps not!? I would love to do this!

I'd like to know this; I'm considering making a pole podium as a hom project this summer, customise it and all but I'd like to know a bit more about x-lite and r-poles too. I quite fancy an r-pole if they're safe enough, would love to pole in the park.

Yes I was swaying towards ballet, gym or modern. I like the big dramatic movements and the 'polished' and 'emotional' aspect of them. I hadn't thought about the fact that gym will work more balance and upper body…that's something to think about.
Perhaps I can make time to do ballet and gymnastics or modern and gymnastics. I'll have a look at the training times.
Thank you for your opinions on the dance types, it's proving very very helpful!

Hey sweetheart.
I know at times it can really feel hopeless but all you can do when it gets to that point is say to yourself 'I will overcome this' and do it.
If the London pole jam goes ahead you should def. join! I'm sure it would to a world of good having pole buddies to play with. =)

Thank you everyone for your insight!
I thought I should let you know whay my view is after a bit of further reading.
I think modern may be best as the modern dance society does Bhangra, contemporary, jazz and street dance classes on different days very cheaply (like £10 for the semester).
Brazilian dance could be quite cool as its all samba carnival style dancing and I love carnivals, we have a big one in my home town every year which I think the society takes part in and makes their own costumes!
Belly dance looks fun and the costumes are beautiful plus it costs £15 per semester so again v cheap to learn.
If I had time on top of my poling I would do all of them!
Which would be best for improving flexibility and strength? Because I'm 6ft and leggy I struggle with lifting my legs up for long in boomerangs etc. and my flex is awful! (though this may be in part to stretch laziness =p).

thats the same problem i’m having! Sorry stl.

It's the first link that isnt working.

Hi STL, the link isn't working for me I'm afraid just takes me to the homepage.

Bahaha! I just typed in 'Hits 1988' to google, number one on the list of the first webbie 'Faith – George Micheal' – might have to be done! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Could be very funny.
Also on the list:
Man in the mirror & the way you make me feel – Micheal Jackson
Don't worry, Be happy – Bobby McFerrin
Hungry Eyes – Eric Carmen
I can't decide! Too much choice! Any votes?

They cut from hip to hip and sometimes up the middle of your abs too bepending on the type of TT. From what the ladies on the forum have to say it does take a while to even be able to walk comfortable let alone do strength training like pole.
Chem is right about the scars, the scars from my breast augmentation are just fading now but I hold with my decision. Although there is still a small amount of loose skin on my breasts it is minimal and I'm very happy with the result.
Most of all it is important to make sure you have realistic ideas about the outcome of the op. A tummy tuck will not give you a perfectly toned 6 pack if you don't have very low bodyfat, but it might give an improvement in the look of your stomach.

If you can't find someone on here to help I recommend asking on LYB UK plastic surgery forum. A lot of the girls there pole I'm sure someone will have had a tummy tuck. I realise its a UK site but hey people are people! x

This I want, santa, thankyou please.http://i.ebayimg.com/02/!BpnNeWwB2k~$(KGrHqYH-D!EuYb-lGlyBLsJ8Mz!fQ~~_3.JPG

I first got interested through a forum about breast implants! A lot of the girls on there pole for fitness and after watching some of their videos I was SURE I wanted to do that. However, I realised that because I had surgery lined up I would lose my upper body strength.
Pole has definately improved my posture and my strength and inspires me every day when watching the struggles and triumphs of everyone on SV.

Welcome to the forum! x

There nwas a massive fad for this style of shoe (non nike) in the UK. I can't see why they wouldn,t work as long as they're manufactured well.
Might be worth having a look on ebay. 😉 x

Many thanks for the advice =) I improvised blocks today with some tins from the kitchen and got muuuch lower.

I like tiggertail's idea, I think it'd be fun to do.
I think it would be good to do some one word themes sometime just give a word or two – something like 'decadence' or 'noir' they could be interpreted in many ways and it would be interesting to see.

Ohh! Trust me I know 'spring fever' for me it's beachworthy days but for most people in Wales it happens to be days on which rugby matches occur. Even the train companies strike for the rugby! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I guess we make up for having no time off during term by having extra long holidays.
-
Chem, could you explain spring break for me? In the uk we don't really have it I don't think. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I get that it's a student thing?
For students here this holiday is mostly about getting assignments done/cramming for exams.
