Please beware of the attachment point. I was looking for the same thing. I found a studio space with 23′ ceilings, but landlord would not let me do a perm mount. I had a structural engineer come in and look at the trusses and he said they would have to be reinforced to withstand the torque of such a tall pole. I actually got a reinforcement quote and EEK!! So please just be aware that an okay from the pole manufacturer may not mean its all good. Be safe sister. 😉

Gummypia- if living in Las Vegas teaches you anything it’s how to entertain guests and stay within a budget! It’s so cheap to fly to Vegas from just about anywhere that the guest room rarely empty! I’m looking forward to a quieter island lifestyle! Whew! And Hilo is WAAAY slow!! 😉 can’t wait to meet you! Yippee!!

They will be stainless 50mm. I’ve used the regular x-stages before, but I ordered the x-stage lites for the studio. Since I’m coming into a yoga studio I need them portable & the lites are going to be much easier to move. I’ll let you know when they get in!
I’ve never flown Go! before. I’ve not had the need to island hop yet. Good to know its worth the extra $$ to fly Hawaiian. 😉 -
Kimara at X-Stage gave me a SMOKIN' deal. Dependable Hawaiian Express is shipping them over for about 1/2 the price as other shippers. I will refer to DHX for ANYTHING else I need shipped here. The poles/stages will be 10 feet. Good enough! I'll keep you in the loop about Pole Jams we will have. Watch Go! for good kama'aina rates and maybe we can plan some pole play around a cheap flight. Whee!!

Gettiing in late on the conversation,so SORRY! I just relocated from Las Vegas to the Big Island of Hawaii, Hilo side. I was Fawnia's lead instructor back at home, and I've been gimping around on a little 8foot pole here at the new house since Dec. 1st. So I'm ready to take the plunge…I've secured my space, ordered the poles (x-stages, as I would have had to reinforce the ceiling trusses otherwise. $$$ Eek!) and am in the arduous process of getting my LLC dissolved in Nevada and submitted in Hawaii. Insurance is lined up, and starting to spread the word little by little. There aren't any studios on the Big Island right now, but I'm in the midst of training a gal who owns a Pilates studio on the west side of the island, so we will have options available for most who are interested. By spring time we will have legit pole classes here. YIPPEE!!

Oh Sister, you're a shoe-in for this!! The other gals have summed it up already so I'm just adding "break a leg"!! Keep us posted Luv!!

Sometimes this can be from gripping the pole too tight with your fingers, rather than trying to grip with your hand. Be concientious about grasping the hand around the pole rather than squeezing with the fingers.

If you go to PoleNation.com and type in the zip code near you it will give you list of studios in the area. You can write studio reviews on the site as well.

Sharon-
If you go to http://www.PoleNation.com you can find studios by zip code AND leave reviews of studios for others who are in your position.

I can only do it it the "open" pose. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Wish I could do both, but the pressure on my knee isn't worth it….

GO KNOCK 'EM DEAD SISTER!!! I hope you know we are all behind you 100%!!! Hugs!!

Are you willing/able to travel to Vegas? You would have ample opportunity here. I can put you in touch with audition folks as well if that might be an option for you.
-
Is the screw just spinning inside the mount? Or is the allen wrench spinning when you try to unscrew it? Is is mounted in a wood joist?
-
It's my name and I usually forget anything else…
Sigh….

Lyme Lyte- MasterJ Moves is in Philly and while I’ve never actually taken a class there I have met the owners and some students. I’ve enjoyed them all. They also offer men’s classes as well. I’ve got no affiliation, just my opinion…

FINALLY got that dang elbow grip Ayesha. I’m also sooooo unbelievably proud of several students who mastered their own nemesis moves. I think THOSE ladies are my biggest/best accomplishments. Proud mama!!

TOTAL wipeout attempting a True Grip Ayasha. No spotter no mat. Egad! Bottom elbow buckled and I went crashing down head first. I at least had the wherewithalll to tuck and my shoulder hit first and took the brunt of it before my little pinhead came landing next. Shoulder hurt like an SOB for about a week. I haven't gotten back on that hourse yet either. At this point I'm happy with my Elbow Grip Ayasha. The tumble happened about 2 months ago, and while there are some moves I feel I just HAVE to get this TGAyasha isn't on the list anymore.

David C Owen has discussed this and has some good guidelines. PM him if you can, otherwise I'll see him Sun 08/28 and let him know to get in touch with you. Funny you brought this up, since it's a peeve for him to see competitors (even showcasers) over-train just prior. Hugs to you champ! 😉

I have been using Poledanzer for MANY years now and have been so pleased. Robert will gladly make 14 foot perm poles for you. Their spinning mechanism is far superior than Platinum Stages. Fawnia has them in her studio and Mary Ellyn has them in hers as well. Fawnia used to have the PS but due to issues with the poles, as well as customer service, she put the Poledanzer in her new studio.
-
As long as they are under 3oz it’s okay to bring through on your carry-on. Including liquids.

PoleNation.com may help. If you type in the zip code of the area it will list anything nearby.

Scimitar-the original design has separated toes, HOWEVER, they are designed so you can easily snip between the toe holes for those of you who may have “non-traditional feet”. Hope that helps!! 🙂

I tried calling a taxi while in Denver. While they were almost courteous on the initial phone call they could not/would not give me an estimated time of arrival for my pick up. They told me I would have “the first available” cab sent to me. It seemed silly! I waited almost 30 minutes before I called them back & said “never mind!”

One of the many benefits of working with Fawnia at her studio in Las Vegas is being able to meet the plethora of pole royalty that come here to vacation, practice and play. It's taught me to be a gracious hostess, and not a blubbering idiot that I would otherwise tend to be. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif The one I kick myself inthe butt for missing was Oona, when she was here. UGH!!

Just throwing my two cents in: If you are looking for a PERMANENT mounted pole please consider PoleDanzer. Small company out of California who will make a fabulous spin/static perm pole for studio use. Down size is that it only comes in a 50mm. I have had one in my home studio for over 3 years and Fawnia had 17 of them installed in her Las Vegas studio. I don't care for their removables, but I won't use another perm pole.
