I know she had videos before this and so did a lot of other people as I was learning from them in 2005! The problem is a lot of people have re-done or just taken down their older videos.
Im going to keep looking though…I have to think of who I may have been watching then besides KT

I’ve had a one piece pole, and now the Xpole and the xpole BY FAR takes the cake for the BEST pole. I pulled my "solid once piece pole" from the ceiling while I was doing a super fast knee hold. and I’ve had big dudes on my xpole all night long playing on it, doing handsprings and what not and it never waivers.
I would say the biggest test was when I did the splits on the side of the pole in the middle of it and ALL the weight was hanging on one side, it was perfectly fine and felt solid. But i have the new xpert , and i believe the joints in the middle is what makes the difference -
i looked online and saw my first video it was in black and white titled ‘amazing pole dancer’ I saw her doing the Caterpillar and was like NO Fing way! She looked strong but she wasnt SUPER buff and thats when i was like…hummm…maybe i can learn too..?
That is the EXACT same video I saw!!! I think she also did a side climb in that one which also impressed me but not as much as the caterpillar climb.yeah i remember that side climb too, i was like wooow the SIDE of the pole!! lol .
i wonder where she went or what happened to her -
I remember the first time i was impressed was after my husband went to a strip club (against my wishes) and i was mad at him, and he was trying to tell me how "this girl climbed up the pole upside down" thinking he was making stuff up to keep me pre-occupied from being mad at him – https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif i looked online and saw my first video it was in black and white titled ‘amazing pole dancer’ I saw her doing the Caterpillar and was like NO Fing way!

I was talking to amy from ‘The Girls Room’ about coming up to dallas sometime at the end of the month. Any other places you all want to suggest? If we did it at the end of the month it wouldnt conflict with the USPDF travelers would it?

I think we should have another Jam! Anyone wanna throw out some dates for March or April?

i just learned this last week, from the time i learned TG handspring it took me about two weeks of practice almost every day except for a day or two off on the weekend too get the lift, it is a KILLER on your shoulders. im double jointed , so i wasnt experience much wrist pain but then my shoulders were popping out of place the next morning and sore. its def a move to take your time on. i really wouldnt rush it bc you can hurt yourself doing it. but i think its extremely quick way to get arm strength. every day i do it a few times i see improvement the next day. but i’m trying to not rush it to much, i guess i get over excited. I really want to be able to do whatever i want with the hold like sarah cretul, but i guess all the daily practice could really pull some thing. I tried it in the middle of the pole instead of on the ground yesterday and herd a pop in my lower shoulder arm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif so im taking today off lol
but anyway u were asking for tips, alot of ppl say, pulling with your top arm and pushing with your bottom arm. which this is true how to start. also try slowing down your TG handspring so you get use to the rotating way of your body. -
Some clips of the February show. They didnt show some of the really good moves i had in there, but its better than not being in the highlight reel at all i suppose! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Ignore ALL nasty youtube comments. My page is really old, and I’ve always gotten positive comments, but as your page gets more popular and you get more subscribers you’ll get people who will just write anything weird and disturbing.
I’ll get the occasional guy who will post a comment like ‘fat’ or ‘thats easy’ on a contortion video lol. or the shoe company that leaves spam saying ‘you would look better in 8in heels’
they even leave dumb comments on felix’s youtube videos, there are some stupid people online looking just to bring you down because they cant face anyone in real life. ignore them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -

Focusing on only the first part of that spin I posted (not the figurehead part) Here is what I’ve told others; (which i’ve been told is a side spin, side hook spin, or dizzy lizzy spin- names to look for on youtube)
You 1. need to have the right leg higher up and hooked on.
2. back leg (left leg) straight and behind the pole.(after push off)
3. right hand above right leg, and left hand under right leg- after you push off the ground.
(i use alot of momentum. )
I hope that helps some… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif i bet veena has a video of how to do this spin. and can explain wayyyyyy better. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -

I love this thread topic, and i love everyone’s responses are so great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I pole dance because to me it looks beautifully unnatural. Like some kind of other worldly dance that defies gravity.
In the same way people are hooked on watching figure skating , because with an instrument (pole/skates) its give you a dance/movement that would not be possible with out it.
I like to pole dance because I feel like I am part of a dream, weightless and flying in the air.
I also have had this idea in the back of my head for years, that I want to change peoples perception of pole dance. All the pain i have gone through learning contortion and trying to incorporate it with pole dance, I really hope I can be apart of the modern pole movement and add something a little different, so pole has a umbrella of sexy, athletic, artistic, modern, dancers and we all represent the same thing- a love and respect for this dance and sequence of movements on a vertical pole.
Thats why i pole dance https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif -

MemberFebruary 21, 2010 at 3:07 am in reply to: Making your own pole Competition outfits!The brand is LILYETTE it is the minimizer line, you have to get the one that has the gel lineing on top , believe me i didnt think it would either. I was doing back bends and jumps in the dressing room, and did a test run with it on the pole a few days ago. those puppies aint going NO WHERE https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
im going to post a video of me dancing in it this week, so you will be able to see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -
