I second that about the shoes with the clear uppers…but I would also suggest maybe finding a local dancer supply store or lingerie store and trying some on…when you figure out which ones you prefer then you can hunt online for the best deal! Everyone is different in how they fit into dance heels. I for one wear an 8.5 and go down to an 8 in dance heels..but a lot of people on here say that they go up! I don’t like when there is "extra" shoe showing past my heel! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I’ve hear shoebuy.com is a great site and they do free shipping both ways (so if you don’t like em you can send them back for free)! Plus you can find crazy discount coupons online for up to 25% off your order! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I don’t do anything to my popcorn ceiling prior to putting my pole up…it does knock off some of the popcorn, but i’ve never had an issue with it being uneven at the ceiling.

If you go with rubbing alcoho…make sure it is not colored and that in the "ingredients" it dosent’ say mineral oil. Some manufacturer’s use mo in the mfg process which will leave behing an oily residue on your pole! Look out for "moisturizing" on the label too! Ok so there are my two cents as a chemist!.. hehe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have taken PCP’s Level 1 cert for BOTH pole and exotic dance and as a 15 yr veteran of pole dancing- I truly don’t believe I would be the teacher that I am today without the certification. I am AFAA PT cert and hold about 9 other 1 day or weekend workshop certs such as Yoga, Perinatal Fitness, Pilates etc. NONE of them were as educational as the week long PCP teacher training.
I believe you get what you pay for w/ PCP. YogaFit weekend courses are nothing like 200hr Yoga certifications which is what I believe you should take in order to truly call your self Yoga Certified. Same thing goes for a weekend or online pole cert- they just don’t compare w/ the PCP program. When I started contemplating a cert, I did my research. I found Shawn to have to credentials I was looking including being an exotic dancer. As a 15 yr vet of the stage, I sure as hell wasn’t going to give my $ to someone who have never been on one!
I started off slow until I built trust in Shawn by just doing her pole safety weekend course. I immediately was hooked on her teaching style and methods that I signed up for the next scheduled level 1 Pole Cat Power Method and Slinky Cat level 1 training that she scheduled. Shawn focuses on teacher training and spent 4 years putting together her program so yes, I IS WORTH IT!!!!
That is exactly what Yannori told me! If I were to do a training it would probably be hers!
BTW…I saw a rerun of SLW…where you were on there!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I would stay away from any core intensive moves…but you can still work on dancing, floorwork and transitions…and plenty of stretching just becareful as your ligaments/joints are already probably getting pretty relaxed from hormones.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I initially thought of saschapoles thread "pole farts"…but that so isn’t what you’rs is about! lol
As far as your issue…I have no clue! Sorry! I wouldn’t think that it would be from inverting! I would ask your doc what causes that sort of thing

Have you seen how expensive the Climb and Spin cert is (Wendy’s)??? It’s like $1500 for the home study portion and then another $1000 for the "live" training. I would think that since the USPDF promotes fitness that their prices should be WAY more reasonable!!
PCP is like $3500 for the Level 1 cert!!!
I would love to do a training but what they heck….are you getting a gold pole with the course?!??!
