    July 9, 2013 at 8:52 am in reply to: Glitter heels.

    I have 3 pairs and love them, Ellie is SO much more comfortable and better fit than pleaser the glitter heels are Ellie shoes. Only downside I will say is they do not cope well with heavy floor work. I’m am Alethea Austin fan and use a lot of her floor work style the giltter on my heels starting wearing off badly after a month or two so much so I could see the original shoe pattern underneath so I’d say be careful what floor work you do in em or the glitter won’t last as long.

    Ok it’s starting to make sense now thank you folks! I was hit with so much conflicting info my head was spinning, I prefer karols physique but I don’t know if ill get that lean although pantera is awesome I wouldn’t want to look that muscular if you know what I mean, but I’m not training like a body builder or anything so think there’s no danger of that . Ok will stick with the shakes and try to eat as healthy as I can you are right about relaxing a shake with a snack they really do fill me up at night after class and stop me snacking on crap xx

    Yep I’m heavier too due to my pole muscles, but the same dress size or smaller. What I mean Is will my muscles get even bigger with the shakes ( I don’t think I could cope with bigger thighs, they are nice and toned and just now and I’m happy with that) I’m just looking for definition and obviously to be more productive, look far leaner ect.

    The pole ones I drink actually taste really nice so I don’t mind the taste at all, it’s 100 cals a recommended scoop ( high protein / diet) version I chose. Just so worried ill actually get bigger! I’m told that’s nonsense and that girls don’t bulk up but then I hear other things that suggest otherwise, I’m not fat, far from it but I’m hardly skinny either, last thing I need is to look bigger. As said before I want to loose fat and look more toned. Ideally avoiding kidney faliure along the way

    March 19, 2013 at 9:44 pm in reply to: Splits – How long did it take you?

    After 30 years of not being able to do the splits at all I just got them last week. As a child I could never do them and kinda gave up trying, however I always naturally had flexible hip flexors ( I often sit in a butterfly stretch when watching TV as I find it comfortable) and can easily put my legs over my head however I learned my hamstrings where really tight hence the reason I can’t do spilts. I tried stretching a few times a week when doing pole for 2 years and got no where. Then I discovered a love for yoga and aerial yoga and I literally got bendy over night! With in my first week of joining a yoga class my splits where much lower to the ground, two months later I can finally do it!!! It’s still a bit of a struggle ( i need to do it after a good pole workout and ease into it slowly and it’s not perfect yet but I’m so happy!) can’t recommend yoga and aerial yoga enough if you want to get bendy for pole!

    I’ve just googled it, seems I’m not the only one with this problem! Sooo mad some of the tiny flakes got into the sole of my foot tonight and it feels like glass! Totally not safe! Will clear nail varnish help stop it peeling in the meantime?

    Guys I’m wondering if you’ve ever came across this before. One of my 45 mm spinner x poles (4 months old) has started to peel!!! Like tiny chrome flakes are coming off like bits of foil and the pole now has a gold looking patch underneath where it’s peeled away! It’s one of the poles in my pole studio. Never in my 7 years using poles and x pole have I seen this happen. It’s 100 percent genuine x pole ordered from x pole themselves so I know it’s not a dodgy fake. We intend to phone them to see if they will return it but I’m NOT happy with this! What if it happens again? What could have caused it? All my other x poles in my studio are fine. 🙁

    October 8, 2012 at 3:05 pm in reply to: Tips for Organizing Showcases?

    Hi I own a pole school and I organise our annual pole show every year, it’s stressful but worth it. Here’s the things I always do/organise.
    1. I always hold mine in a bar/club venue as my studio would be too small to hold all my students plus they’d friends and family coming to see them. We typically get around 100-150 people coming to watch the show. Things to consider about a venue, will you need a stage pole or x pole set up, is there room? How much is your venue costing, what times will they allow you in and to what time. I’d avoid a strip club ( I love them but it sends the wrong message to say someone’s mum or dad coming to watch their daughter perform)
    Advertise, get tickets sold and get people to put their names down for performing well in advance. I typically start doing this 4 months in advance. Be prepared to have to help students with choreography and performance ideas.
    Sort out a DJ, lighting assistant ( if needed) photographer, make up artist/hair dresser for the night. It need not cost you a fortune and I rope my friends in to help, your students will always know someone who’s a hairdresser/photographer who can do this for free or a good price.
    Other dance acts, again it can be good to get a few non pole dance acts in to entertain at breaks between pole performances again I have friends who are burlesque artists and contemporary dancers who help me out.
    Theme, it’s always fun to have a theme for your showcase.
    Goodie bags, as a thank you I provide each performer with a hoodie bag which contains nail polishes, lip stick, chocolate, ect ect it’s nice and makes them feel appriciated ( this can cost a bit so try not to go crazy) … Oh and asking various pole related companies to give you samples of pole grip ect is a nice touch too plus gives them free advertising. Think that’s about it! Lol hope that helps … One thing I don’t run competitions it just a show. 🙂

    Yup the comments left on that vid are pretty awful! The usual about strippers and sluts ect, iv seen other music vids that are more sexy pole than this one, I’d say this one shows strength, skill and beauty rather than sexy, but there’s always gonna be idiots out there leaving ignorant comments.

    I agree with ronia and platinumATL the newest and quite possibly best use of pole Dancers performing awesome moves in an artistic/hypnotic way to a cool tune is the links they posted, it’s a music video by diplo feat lazerdisk- party sex-set it up. I’m sure there are quite a few famous polers in it.
