i think it’s actually easier to go into a chopper on spin then a regular invert– reason being that a regular invert brings your body in close to the pole, and increases spin– which for me, is https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif
to do an aerial chopper on spin- think of it like a fan kick, except instead of starting the movement with your inside leg and kicking out, you’re bringing your outside leg in, crossing it in front of your body, and then up and over your head (think of it as though your leg is the hand on a clock, moving counter clockwise) as you bring your other leg and torso up. it’s a lot easier (IMO) to do a straight legged chopper on spin then a regular invert, because you’re not fighting the centrifugla force pulling your body away– you’re working with it.
I think I do an chopper first every time I aerial invert on spin. My favorite is to do a pencil first for about 2 full rotations then chopper. I’m sure you’ll get stronger the more you practice.

Just in time. Thanks Free!

Every single peice of choreo that I’ve ever done has statred in the car LOL. While I’m driving and jamming out to a song I plan to dance to. Like Mini said, certain moves feel right at certain points. So once I have the idea of how I want it to, I start practicing it and things evolve from there. I get some ideas from the music, then dance to it until other things come together, then practice it and practice it until I have a routine. I find that freestyling to a song that moves me brings choreogrpahy all by itself. All you have to do is make changes, polish it and get your transitions together.
Long story short…just dance to the song, maybe record yourself and see what happens……plus anything PoleSkivvies said. LOL

Raven, can you describe it?

I agree with Minicoopergirl. I does it really matter?
Its funny I read this now because I was just sayin in chat lastnight that I think I’m pole-be-dex-strous (spell check). Not because I can do everything on both sides , because I can’t, but because some things I do better on one side and som things better on the other side.
For example…..at first I considered my left arm my "strong" arm, even though I’m right handed. I did all my spins better on the left. But….when I invert and do things like butterfly I usually use my right hand as the "strong" hand and m left as my bracket. When I got the cartwheel I got it on both sides with neither side being better then the other. I’m just all over the place so I have to try and practice on both sides as much a I can. Which is the point here. LOL Use both sides anyway. You never know, you may be better on one side for certain things.

I don’t know Charley. That’s a good question.
I’m excited for the x-stage light. I got to see them at the convention and when I need a stage, that’s going to be the one I get https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Hi Mune,
I wrote you (or your hubby, not sure which one it was LOL) back about when you should expect the pole to arrive. You should def have it before USPDF. Speaking of which…..I’ll be there (hopefully *fingers crossed*) maybe I’ll get to meet you and you can tell me in person how awesome I am https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif .LOL Just kidding…..well….not really……..

Hello all,
First of all I want to apologize to you or anyone else that has had troubles getting in contact with myself regarding House of Pole orders. I run House of Pole on my own and have been in a major transition in my personal life that has taken up more time than I have to spare. I won’t get into specific details here but I’m working on getting caught up with everything and bringing some help onboard so my customers don’t have to wait so long to hear answers.Please resend your email (mailto:christina@houseofpole.net) regarding your extension and I’ll look into it for you. Thanks!

It all depends on what look you’re going for. You can wear anything you want as long as it allows you to do the moves you want to do.
I mostly see (as stated above) bedazzled shorts and sports bras or bikini tops. Sometimes super sweet ass monokinis.
Sometimes shoes, sometimes not. It all depends.
-
I’m glad to see you guys were able to talk about it and come up with a good compromise. Let us know how it goes.

Congratulations! A solid controlled chopper is a great show of strength!

Dang it! Another awesome show I’m gonna miss! Phooey https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

This is what I sent… feel free to copy and paste.
To Whomever It May Concern,
My name is Danielle Cain, and I am an avid pole fitness athlete and dancer. I would like to reference order number 0010544613 for Christopher Brand. I do not agree with the treatment of this order, or the treatment of Christopher Brand through customer service over the phone. I do not appreciate that the equipment pictured in the silhouette image was repeatedly referred to as a ‘stripper pole’, despite correction. To many in our sport, this is called a ‘dance pole’, and when corrected, it is respectful that the correction be taken note of.
The woman that was to receive these custom ordered M&M’s is a pole fitness instructor and professional athlete. Pole dance is her full-time job and passion. There are hundreds of women and men in the world that share the very same passion for this dance form. The image in question is a silhouette of a very advanced move that takes great skill, agility, balance, and strength to accomplish. To demean this image by calling it unsightly for children or too provocative to be printed is an insult, not only to her, but to the pole fitness community.
I, for one, am horribly disappointed in your company. Perhaps, before you make assumptions, you should do some research in order to make a truly informed decision. This is a beautiful image of an athlete that you should be proud to print on your candies, especially for a professional athlete’s birthday gift. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I will not be using your service in the future, nor will I recommend your company to others.
Well… I feel better now, lol.
I will take you up on the offer to copy and paste. You said it much better thn I ever could!

I definately will, Charley! Although it will take me some time to quit getting motion sick from just pirouetting and swooping too much on static! LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif
I was the same way. I used to hate spin, but once I was able to tolerate it….I must say it’s grown on me a lot! It’s fun and makes stuff look so cool!
-
I love dancing on brass. I just might have to consider one for my third pole when they become available. sissy while you are emailing them check on the status of the vaulted ceiling adapters please https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Sure thing honey!
-
It’s worth it to me though LOL. I love me some brass.
I take it, SissyBuns, that you dance/have danced on brass?
I have. They have brass poles at Xpose (the studio I used to go to occasionally) and I have a brass PS pole that I haven’t been able to put up yet.
I love brass but…..I wouldn’t want it as my only pole. Once it gets warmed up my spins slow down and it gets a little too grippy for some things. When I’m able to create my new pole space I’ll have my brass and my chrome up and go back and forth between the two.

You might wanna look into the lessons here. I have the lessons set up in order of difficulty and I also include strength training and stretches to help prevent injury. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I was just about to say that LOL.
Don’t ever feel like you "should" be able to do anything because we’re all different. I’ve been poling well over a year and still don’t have a knee hold or a cross ankle release. LMAO! I know. It’s sad. But we all learn things at different rates and have different strengths and weaknesses. It’s always a good idea to slow down and review moves in their order of difficulty, starting from the beginning when you feel lost.

Ok so from what I have been reading, this product doesn’t seem to work well on the TG x-pole or Brass, but perhaps it works best with chrome or stainless?
Have you tried all 4 levels?

Chemgodess – I was always intrigued by that name because when I was a teenager I was a raver and the thing to do at Raves was ecstacy and everyone would always say "know your chemist" to refer to knowing where you got the drugs from, when in reality the person we were buying it from didn’t know the chemist, and I’m willing to bet that the person he bought it from didn’t know the chemist!! Wow, the stupid things teenagers do makes me really happy that I am not a teenager anymore!!
Yeah, but I am the geeky lab rat type of chemist.
This is the best picture ever!
-
I’d be concerned with getting it off of the pole too.
If it says not to put it on your skin….I probably wouldn’t try it. There are so many other grip aides formulated for pole/skin contact, I’d exhaust those options first. But that’s just me. Have you tried anything else? What type of grip problems are you having?
-
I was under the impression that brass wouldn’t be available in the US this year but I’ll double check that. How exciting!
I don’t know x-poles plan on the pricing for brass yet. I know PS charges $50 more for brass and the Titanium Gold is more expensive than chrome so….it may be more expensive. It’s worth it to me though LOL. I love me some brass.
*goes to email xpole*

It’s commonly referred to as a chopper but I’ve seen it called a helicopter in studios before too.
I struggled with this one for a long time as well. I didn’t have the strength to hold it when I was first attempting it. I stopped trying for several weeks and worked on tucking my knees up to my chest while holding myself up on the pole. Then eventually tipping back. Roxy-Pink taught me that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif .

Your business idea sounds exciting! I can’t wait to see the stuff you come up with!
