I second the X-Stage lite. I saw it in action all weekend at pole con (since it was set up in the vendor room where I spent all of my time) and all the superstars got busy on it with no problems.

Pole is not a crime!!!!!

I am soo going to try and start working on this! I’m glad you were able to get it. I saw it in the Pole Dance Shop picture contest and I was stunned. I also saw another move that blew my mind away that you could probably get…..are you up for the challenge young Charley? LOL
-
I personally prefer the X-Pole but idk what to tell you. LOL
Maybe it depends on what finish you like? Or if you have any experience with one or the other? Or price maybe?

Sunny the magazine looks awesome! It’s got all the coolness of a magazine but interactive as well with videos and links to cool stuff. It’s way better than the text filed pages my simple mind imagined it would be. And you’re such an awesome writer as well! I love love love this and I’ll surely be promoting it on House of Pole and to all my pole buddies.
The healthy margarita is a great idea cuz I’m one of those concious eaters who also loves herself a good drink. It’s often tricky to find a healthy option when you’re trying to have yourself a little drinky poo and I loooooove the teach us something section! It’s so cool to see tutorials from some of our fav online teachers.
What a great source and wealth of information for us polers to have! I see big things for Six Inch heels and I’m extremely proud to be a part of it! I’m motivated to start rummaging through my merchandise for next months featured shoes!

Clean eating can change your life. I strongly recommend getting the book and cook books. You can get them on amazon.com for pretty cheap. It’s so easy to do and so good for you. Basically cut out anything that comes in a can or a box. Eat all natural fruits and veggies and lots of lean meats. I’ve been eating clean for almost a month now and I have never felt so good. My weight has always fluctuated ( a pound or 3 depending on the day and where I’m at in my cycle) but now it’s fluctuating about 5 pounds lower on the scale, LOL.
Shay you probably feel like crap because you’re depriving yourself of important nutrients that supply you with the energy and vitamins that you need to feel awesome. Don’t focus on eating less, try to eat less crap. And more good stuff.
As for my routine I usually lift weights 5 days a week and pole whenever I can, which can fluctuate from 1-3 days a week usually. Depending on my muscle soreness. I used to run before my feet went bad and haven’t done any cardio (aside from poledance) since this time last year. Since my post op foot is feeling a lot better, I started the insanity program yesterday to try and get back in shape cardio wise and see if I can get some serious fat burning going on and still have strength left in my muscles to pole more often. We’ll see how that goes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

When I get to convention I am gonna talk to Zoraya. I look at her abs and think "shes got 2 kids, ive got 2 kids – why dont I look like that’.
That’s genetics my friend. We all have specific body types and I know for a fact no matter what I do…I will never look like that. I’ll always be soft and squishy. LOL
-
Oh no Little C! You can be injured off of our first shared move. It’s our special move!
I hope it’s just some soreness from over use and it gets better after you rest and ice it.

Christina here! I live in Maryland so I’m actually already here and I’ll be staying at the luxorious Casa De Turner (A.K.A. my house). I’ll be there from the Friday night cocktail party to the final spin on Sunday.
I’ll have a booth for my website http://www.houseofpole.net and I’ll be handing out ribbons/bracelets (haven’t decided which one yet, trying to find something that will stand out, but when I get it I’ll post a picture here so we all know what to look for) at my table so all Veeners can recognize eachother. So make sure you stop by the House of Pole table, say Hi and get your bracelet (or whatever) LOL. I’m sort of serving as the Veener hub if you will.
I’m also going to be giving away a free X-Pole in a special raffle on sunday to anyone who places a shoe or pole order from me that weekend so come treat yourself to a pair of shoes (with free shipping in the US) and maybe have a shiny new pole waiting on you when you get home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Yay for conventions!!!!

Can’t wait to see it!!!!!

Girl you are not alone at all. There is a huge percentage of polers who don’t have supportive family, friends and significant others. It’s a touchy topic for some and a hard thing for some men to get into. I still haven’t been able to figure out why. Still researching that, LOL. Don’t let it get you down though and don’t quit. Try expressing to the BF how you feel about pole and how much it hurts you when he puts you down for doing it. One thing I have learned from my own situation as well as others is that if a man truly cares about your happiness …he’ll get over it. And if not….he’s just a Boyfriend right?

As far as spotting goes, I really haven’t thought about it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Its very important that you have a great amount of control when you SM then you can work on the flip SLOWLY. My first SMF I was squatting and working on it from way down low. Stay tucked in a ball when you start. Also, I didn’t began working on the Shoulder flip until I had become very comfortable with all of my Shoulder moves, I have I few variations I teach in the lessons. I think the super invert is the most important to be comfortable with. This is when you SM and hold the position like so
This is the grip I use for the Shoulder Flip https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif It gives you a lot of control at the top of the move.
I’m gonna have to try the Veena grip. I’m scared to death of snapping my arm off when I flip in a princess grip lol. Especially since apparently my bones are pretty brittle. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

ahhh our little JC is all grown up! *tear I hope he remembers the little people when he gets famous..and the people who made him chocolate peanut butter cake! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Don’t worry, I have video of him putting a hurting on that cake. I have proof that he used to hang out with us, incase he tries to deny us when he blows up. LOL

Hi Mindy,
I watched your video too and I think you’re really close. Balance is really important for the inverted split grip stuff but you also use strength in your core and upper body to hold that balance. I think you’re definitely strong enough, you just need to keep practicing. Practicing taking one leg off first, then a little bit of the other, then more and more until they’re totally off. If you go into an inverted split grip with your knees bent and holding onto the pole you’ll be in a tucked position and can just practice opening your legs and keeping them open for longer and longer. Squeeze squeeze squeeze with your hands, engage your chest and back and don’t forget to breath. Exhale as you go into the move. -
I’m gonna have to try those shorts out. I found some amazing Danskin ones at Walmart for $5. I bought a bunch and sold em on Ebay. I actually found a few extra pairs that I thought I had sold, but didn’t. Maybe I’ll list them again…

I think I know what you’re talking about. Alethea taught it to us in her Sexy Flexy workshop last year at the East Coast regionals. She had us hook a knee pit on the pole (while on the floor, butt kind of up off the floor in the air) and then we swung the free leg back and around to give momentum to swing up onto the pole. It’s a transition move from the floor to the pole. Does that sound like what you mean? I don’t think it has a name. I think it’s more of a transitional thingy.

So sweet of you! I was actually writing a blog yesterday while i was cooking dinner for the family, wrote like for half a hour and never posted it cause i figured no one wanted to read it lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Nonsense!

Hi Skittles, et al. I enjoy this move and was impressed with Alethea’s. Its called chopstix. There’s a video on this site of Karol instructing someone (I think Ottersocks maybe?) how to perform this move in a variation which keeps one hand on the pole. I recently picked this move up and its the most recent video on my SV profile. I cannot get into this move as quickly or as gracefully as Alethea does, but I’m going to keep trying to improve mine and hopefully flatten it a little more.
I would just like to say that I’ve NEVER seen anyone do this move better than David. If you haven’t seen his video where he does it, go look.
I second that!

I agree with what Chem said. You don’t have to be advanced to own a studio or to teach pole, but eventually you’re going to need somebody advanced to teach your students for when they become advanced.
-
I’ve been wanting to try this too, but I’m also concerned with the grip after the flip cuz I use the princess grip and have no idea how that will work out LOL.
-
Jenna have you tried them on? Are you happy with the fit?
You know I’m constantly on the prowl for good pole clothes to sell.I keep forgeting to tell you. Danskin has sport panites – perfect for pole. I have 2 pairs, no ride up, fits well in the thigh.
I guess you missed all the ranting I was doing about how great the danskin shorts are. I bought like 30 pairs on sale at walmart an resold them on eBay. I love them. I have a pair in every color. I’m trying to become a danskin dealer but I don’t know if they’re going to agree. They may bot want their product associated with such a "scandalous" form of dance.

I moisturize with neutrogena oil early in the morning before work (around 6am) and I normally pole in the evenings (around 8-ish) so the slipperyness is gone by then but my skin is still moist enough to stick. If you’re too dry you’ll slide just as much as if you were covered in oil….well some people do…not everyone, I guess. LOL
-
There’s a "cheat" way to get into it? I thought the move was the trick, not the entry into it.
I get into it from hiphold or a pike mostly, sometimes from a gemini.

That’s Roxy!
