Normally I don’t chime in on conversations here, this site is for all you wonderful pole dancers, I am just the guy who keeps the windows clean and puts gas in the tank occassionally.
That being said, I want to contribute here. Generally speaking oversight for a sport or physical art-form is provided by a governing body operating as a non-profit that is IMPARTIAL to its competitors and member businesses/organizations. They provide a framework for ranking, judging and operating safely that helps to insure that everyone plays fairly and on the same playing field. They generally require member organizations and athletes to adhere to a code of ethics. MOST IMPORTANTLY they recognize competition as essential not only in the sport but also in the industry.
Pole-dancing does not have this type of organization, that I am aware of. We have people who put on competitions, this is fun but entirely flawed as it provides no unified, unbiased platform on which to operate. No one two or three of us regardless of how skilled has the experience to govern an entire sport. No single organization with its own commercial interests can properly guide an entire sport. Over time we will need to band together, choose our leaders, and proceed to build a stronger sport/art.
Well said Chris!! I am all for pole unity! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Just in case a new organization might be getting set up (ahem), I think it’d be great to open it up to polers that want to perform for the love of it but who might not necessarily be in top athletic form. Costumes, fun songs, silly routines that get the crowd smiling and cheering on. Group performances, duets, dudes dancing, burlesque, etc. Wouldn’t it be fun if it was more inclusive of the rest of us out here who work our asses off on moves and just want to feel a little love from an audience! Just some input, just in case (ahem,) another organizationjust so happens to maybe possibly come to life https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
And a less expensive yearly pass too!!! Young polers just starting off in life don’t tend to be wealthy!!
I would love to hear other suggestions for a new organization. Everything you girls said so far I absolutely agree with and is already being discussed.
We can start a new discussion on what would everyone like to see if a new organization was to start…ahheemmm…

So if anything were to *ahem* come about…I would be more than willing help out!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif or even help with the creation….

I use arnica tabs and gel, epsom salt etc…but two things that people tend to forget is 1. staying hydrated and 2. eating right…both of these help prevent and heal bruises and aches too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Eating some protein w/complex carbs after working out helps your body rebuild/repair! Oh and adequate rest…which is easier said than done sometimes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Hey Tara!!! Glad that you finally found a place to pole! I would say that since it has been a year since you "really" poled I would not jump right into the twisted grip…it takes a tremendous amount of strength and flexibility in the wrist and forearm and a few people have gotten seriously injured from trying the tg when they weren’t quite ready. Maybe go through all your moves/tricks, work on a bit of strengthenig. I’m sure you can probably nail all the stuff you used to do and it will take you no time at all to be back 100%! You’re a great dancer so be smart about how you approach the tg! I would suggest doing the mounts in this order…1. cartwheel 2. handspring 3. tg . I do find the tg to be more secure than the others but the entry and demand on the body is more extreme (especially if your lifting into it). I can’t wait to see more vids from you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
As far as the 45mm vs 50 mm…I find that any type of hand grip is easier to hold on the 45mm…and I practice almost soley on a 50mm. I can hold inverted split grips forever(at least it seems) on a 45mm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I don’t know first hand…but I’m curious to know myself. I plan on having the exact same thing done this year! I can only assume it will depend on if the implant is over or under the muscle, how fit you are now and how your body heels….everyone is different. I’ve heard some say 6 wk and some say 6 mths so I dunno! Whatever you do..follow dr’s orders. You wouldn’t want to mess us their handy work! Good luck and I hope to hear how it goes! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

What??/ Since when do pole dancers become "property" of studios?? anywho…I could come teach my Roxy spin…jk! LOL It will all work out! Hope to meet you next month

The really unprofessional part is send out "revised" contracts after finding out that the girls where scheduled to do work shops….that’s just bitchy!! Well….if I do end up going to NYC for the comp I will be taking a workshop at Body and Pole if they are offereing any! Sorry to any USPDF competitors who are teaching workshops…I would rather pay you for a private lesson than give USPDF money atm and you only get a flat rate…
this is very unfortunate….
-
this is messed up and very unprofessional! I am sorry that you are having to deal with this! What about Marlo? I’m sure there are a lot of girls who would love to take a workshop with her! I for one would if I come up!!

I too would like some sexy fitness clothing…but I would also like to find some tops that are sexy yet supportive…I don’t have big boobs…but they are a little tired from all the nursing I did! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Bottoms that are made for those of us who have a full badonkadonk and hips…that stay put and look cute. Unfortunately boyshorts just look like granny panties on me…lmao! I’m so nit picky about what i want…maybe I should make them myself…hehe
You should make some. I’d buy em!
I’ve thought about it…seriously! I’ve made many trips to the fabric store scanning for material and ideas!

Welcome!! I lived in Charleston for quite some time (went to CofC) and even bartended at the Applebee’s in Summerville for a while!! I haven’t been back in about 6 years though. I hope you share your progress and congrats on the knee hold!

if you’re a half size (you said you’re a 7.5?) then go down to the smaller full size. so get a 7.
I agree! If you go up there will be "extra shoe" past your heel once your foot slides down…besides the shoes usualy stretch abit after being heated up from your feet.

I personally don’t care what people call it….because I dance around it and sometimes I do strip on it, I do gymnastics on it etc….I have to issues with it being called a stripper pole because lets face it I started pole dancing because of strippers and the way they dance! But I do stand my ground if/when the "whore" talk starts flying…but luckily that rarely happens! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

The only way to protect yourself and your "idea" would to legally patent it! Unfortunately, patents can be very tedious and expensive (if done correctly). And I think Rubi is correct…most companies don’t appreciate "outsiders" throwing around ideas even if they are great…and I’m sure your’s is pretty cool! I’ve thrown around some ideas myself…luckily I have easy access to machine shops and chemical platers/powder coaters as I am in R&D for the chemical plating industry…but it all takes $$$! Maybe someday in the future! lol Keep us updated on your plans!!

Jenyne calls it the "scottish" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Two things that really helped me with this was 1. not grabbing so high up on the pole with my top hand…more shoulder height and 2. really leaning out to the side when weaving the leg through.
Runnergirl365 (Sabrina) can do a phenomenol Scottish…maybe she could make a vid!?!?!?! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

You can tell Shania that "Miss Pink" got her back!
I am not one to condone violence however I do think it is important for our kids to stand up for themselves…fortunately I was unable to see the vid! Would she be interested in taking martial arts? It would do wonders for her self esteem and I can gaurantee that those girls would never mess with her again.
O (my son for those of you who don’t know me) is a very passive yet very strong kid…He kept getting picked on and bullied around by some kids in his class..until one day he had enough and stood up and side kicked the kid in the chest…he then proceded to sit back down, didn’t say a word! Of course the school called because it was a "physical altercation" but he did not get in trouble at home..he was standing up for himself.
-
I for one love country…and just about everything else…but I personally can’t dance to it. There are many songs that "move" me…just not the kind of moving needed for dancing! lol I always resort back to what I feel comfy dancing to (NIN, TOOL, seether….you get the idea)! I wouldn’t try to force it if you don’t feel it….then it will look to fake and contrived!

Hi and Welcome from the Charlotte area!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I am a handstand junkie…do them whenever I get a chance. I believe hand stands are the key to really getting a strong core, shoulders/arms, back and really learning where your center of gravity is. When I’m waiting for my water to boil when cooking dinner I’ll do them up against the door….do them in my bedroom, hall way, pole room of course…and living room! I would suggest getting comfortable with elbow/head stands prior to jumping the gun with handstands. If you don’t have the "commitment" to get up there and hold yourself there you are setting yourself up for disaster! elbow stands allow you to learn/feel what your body should be doing while not risking crashing down on your noggin! You should practice lifting one leg at a time and then eventually both legs together into it. Most people do not get to a point where they can "lift" both legs at a time into a handstand so you will most likely have to split one leg up at a time (as previously suggested)….
Sissy can attest to my handstand addiction! I even got my kids doing em!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
