Jungle, what a great affirmation for all of us pole divas on here! That’s so great that you wrote that and it is so true! Thanks for the male perspective! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Shoes: as all the other posts SNAZ75 and electricboutique have great prices. You could also check out ebay. I’ve seen larger sz shoes on there dirt cheap. Just becareful. Know what brand/size you need. I also go down in size. I wear an 8.5 in normal everyday shoes, but get an 8 in pd’g shoes. I prefer pleasers over ellie, but that is because I have little ankles…and ellie shoes I have to add my own holes to the straps. Pleasers fit perfect!
Ceiling: I have those nasty "popcorn" ceiling in my house. As long as you are on a joist and don’t OVER TIGHTEN, your ceiling will be fine. I made the mistake of having my husband put my pole up…He thinks that the top nut is supposed to be so tight that he can’t turn it anymore. My ceiling has a nice indent of the dome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Good thing it’s in the garage! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Grip aids:
Nothing better than clean dry hands. I always was my hands and pole with hot Dawn water. Then spray down with rubbing alcohol. Most of the time I just spray alcohol on my hands, but sometimes I do use some aides. Resin does great at drying, tight grip is a thermoplastic that forms a tacky layer on your hands to help you stick better (this is my least favorite), tite grip is a deodorant type (the one I use the most). When it dries it keeps my hands tacky…so they are dry and sticky! The best thing is to not use anything unless you absolutly need to. Also, sometimes I mix the grip aids together dependent on how my pole is acting! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

That’s fantastic! Keep up the good work. The open V will come in time. It’s all about lifting your legs with your abs…not your thigh muscles.
I am also "self-taugh" for the most part through youtube, pj’s and right here. I have had a few classes at a local pole dancing studio, but I really wasn’t impressed with how they organized things. Apparently, alot of people weren’t either b/c they are now closed!
Practice practice practice….
Hope to see a vid someday! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I finally broke down and got some last night! I’ve been working on a knee hold and knee blocker and it looks like someone hit me with a bat…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Thanks for that info Jungle. I’ve been thinking about getting another pole (either TG or a brass). I would really like it if X-pole had a one pc perm. pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

i FOUND THAT LEARNING THE CKR WAS VERY PAINFUL…BUT ONCE I GOT IT, THE CAR WAS EASY.

One of my new favorite artists is Jem….not like Jem and the rockstars (when we were kids) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif I like dancing to her stuff when I want to be a little slower and sensual.

If I remember correctly, I only paid $94 USD for the whole 5 dvd set. That included the shipping and insurance. It only took about 5 days to receive it (I’m in S.Carolina). I just ordered her dance dvd (It was like $29)

That is fantastic!! Congrats!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I think it looks kinda cool if you do a stag position with your legs instead of a full split. Jamilla does this in her dvd.

Ok…so I finally got my intermediate dvd and watched it last night…..I’ll start with what I like first…
Likes:
she does show combos instead of just individual moves.love their style of dance (very stripperish…..love it!)
filmed like a porno….and music is kinda the same…..sorry! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Not into female crotch shots!! I think I even got flashed a little…ewww https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
not very instructional…if you don’t know how to invert or do a scorpio/gemini, you still won’t be able to after watching the dvd. The moves are not broken down. Jamilla’s dvd’s are great about breaking down a move.
Very expressionless…meaning they didn’t seem to be having fun. Isn’t that the point???
