@ Amy –
Ive only just restarted poling and i got a bit cocky because everything was going well that night.
It was a simple leg switch from Gemini to scorpio and I completely forgot to hold with my hip in between.
I crashed down and my hand landed under me and my finger was bent completely the wrong way!
Lucky Its not worse actually!
I’m ready to get back on the pole but my finger isn’t unfortunately. Might have to wait a couple more weeks 🙁 -
Is there any way you can return it? It’s not what you purchased- I’d return it for a refund!

Have you picked a song that your dancing to?
I would suggest listening to the song with a pen and paper and picturing and writing down where you think specific moves would suit- (in the chorus for eg).
Then putting it into practice and working out how much time you have in between for transitional moves.The other way is to just practice dancing to the song and doing the moves where you think they fit.

I have a new xpert and haven’t had any problems with it… Yet.
I haven’t heard the best reviews about platinum stages ..
Xpole really does have great customer service.
Where in the world are you? If your in oz I would recommend the pussycat pole 🙂 -
Definately doing this one!
You rock veena 🙂Now if only we could upload vids from a phone 😛
I would share one tonight! Only computer in the house is my dads and no way am I putting my pole dance vids on that! -
Yeah I think I might have to take the plunge and get the lessons. I still can’t do the bloody superman and it’s really frustrating! Think i need it broken down- that and other moves!!
-
Thankyou hazel! I think the fatline Scorpio transition is my answer! I hope I can do it!! Everything else just seems a bit impossible- but I have a pretty strong flatline scorpio so fingers crossed! I’ll let you know 🙂
-
Playground pole for now ? Lol
-
Oh duh- I just reread your post and you said you can’t get it just yet- duh lol
It’ll be worth the wait 🙂 -
Yay!! Glad you went with this option!
Let me know how it goes ! I would definately get this one if I had the money 🙁
You’ll love brass too…
If my xpert crashes and burns I’ll definately be getting one 🙂
It’s only 2 weeks old so hopefully it stays good.
Have you ordered it yet? -
Glitterhips- watched your video- your amazing! So fast tho I had to pause the vid! Loved your shoulder mount spin- beautiful 🙂
-
Thanks everyone- I’ll give it all a try 🙂
Nymphdancer – does becca have a tutorial on it anywhere? For the transition from crucifix?
I’ve tried from the pike hip hold but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it!
Argh this move! -
Moonflower-
Ive only had it for a couple of weeks and the first time i used it it was very slippery.
I now have a heater on in my pole room 10 mins before i use it and no more problems 🙂 -
Heard amazing things about pussycat poles! They were a bit more than I wanted to spend but you can get them in 38mm , 45mm and 50mm.
Im in oz too and miss pole SA last year has decked out her studio with them!
If you have the money ive heard they are great 🙂 -
Honestly – I initially learned from home on a 50mm stainless steel and it was incredibly frustrating.
I now have a 45mm brass and I wish I had it when I first started! Would have saved ALOT of frustration !!
The smaller size is soo much better and the material is so much more grippy.
45mm brass!- my two cents 🙂 -
I used to dance on a ss and had SO many grip issues- it was extremely frustrating.
As you know- I just got my brass and did have some grip issues initially. The problem is completely solved now that I make sure there is a heater on in my pole room about ten minutes before I go in there.
Brass has AMAZING grip!! I love it so much! No matter how much I would warm up my old ss the grip was still extremely slippery.
Go brass- it rocks!! -
I watch vids on YouTube.
Put on some music that I love and away I go 🙂
I usually start off with doing some dancing and enjoying myself and then working on perfecting moves -
Well I think I found the solution! Thanks to everyone who commented!
I tried cleaning the pole with acetone which cleaned but didn’t make it too slick.
I put lotion on the day before.
I put a heater on in my pole room 10 mins before i went in there.
I spent some time doing spins to warm myself up and the pole a bit more and voila – no more grip issues!
Think the main thing that worked was the heater as it is winter here. I kept the heater on throughout my whole work out which kept me pretty sweaty but no grip issues 🙂 YAY!! -
Oh and extended butterfly 🙂
-
Super proud of myself and had to share!
I haven’t poles in 1 year and 9 months after having a baby.
My first encounter resulted in major slippery leg grip issues 🙁
Just had my second go and on veenas wonderful advice I tried lotion a few hours before on my leg, warmed myself up and also put a heater in the room so my pole was nice and hot.
I got all these moves- rusty- but I got them-
Handspring, figurehead, aysha, reverse aysha, caterpillar climb, leg hang (but no switch yet 🙁 Scorpio, Scorpio handstand, air chopper.
YAY!
I’m still super rusty and have major pole burn and my belly looks pretty flabby judging by the videos- but I did it- WOOHOO!! -
Madfelice- great idea, thanks very much I’ll give it a try 🙂
Ss- thankyou but yes I tried rubbing alcohol too! Ahh
I used to dance on both 50mm & 38mm so I don’t think it’s that. It’s just slippery. So frustrating.
Plan of attack- warm up pole and myself, moisturise a few hours before and clean with acetone! Fingers crossed 🙂
Thanks ladies, really appreciate your help! -
Yes it’s the new xpert.
Grr it’s so annoying!
Bit of a worry if alethea mentioned the slipperiness!
It’s strange because I stick really really great with my hands but not with my legs?!
Veena has suggested getting warmer and using a lotion for my legs a few hours before – I’ll give it a try and hopefully it’ll work!
I’ve got sweaty hands and a great grip with them- just bad grip on legs. Very frustrating! -
Thanks so much I’ll give it a try 🙂
