Thank you for putting up that picture Georgiamarie! I didnt even think of it like the pretzel, that will help me, i think i need to get into it differently than i have been… maybe i should start with a pretzel & THEN extend my legs out & let go with my arm – it confuses me when i try to do it haha, ill post a video hopefully tomorrow, thanks again everyone, i still wish we could figure out the darn name of it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

The chopstick is pretty!! but its different from the one im talking about, but i wanted to learn this one as well… so thank you for posting that video!
The chantel, hmm.. i wish i could find something on youtube about it, but i cant.. thank you though!
Its a very twisted move, the pole goes down your back slanted & you have to be pretty flexible to get into it from what I can tell through my attempts, ill post a video on my attempts so you all can get a better idea & put more input in, thanks a bunch ladies!! -
Thank you so much for the tips!! Yeah, it was definitely harder than it looks, thats for sure. Im going to keep at it… ill let you know if it starts to click, & let me know if you figured it out too!! thanks again!

someone pointed that out to me about a month or two ago….no wonder why i like that song!
i love tricky! one of my favorite artist to dance to https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif electronica music is super sexy. if you like tricky try constanza.. they have similiar styles…. my two favorite by constanza are "burqua" and "ive been waiting for you"
Ooh thanks so much for that Anngiern. Burqua was my favorite. I’m not allowing myself to buy any more music for my iPod. But I think I gotta have this song….I take my thank you back. You’re making me spend money lolLMAO!!!! I understand….I am on a ipod budget as well. Does your phone have internet functions? My phone has an app for youtube…so when i am not quite sure i want to buy a song i just you tube it and then plug it up to my sound system. this helps me keep on budget https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif and i get to try before i buy! Ha! Ha!
HAHA… almost all of my videos on youtube – im dancing to music playing off youtube… ah, its the best https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

What I find SOOO ironic about this is like a day before JC posted this, I wanted to do a dance to Hillsong – a Christian rock band because I LOVE their music & From The Iside Out is an amazing song, I LOVE pole dancing, I LOVE God & Im so thankful to have the ability to be able to pole dance…. that I felt it was perfect. It would’ve almost been a "thank you" dance… so I just find it ironic that this came up like a day after!!
Thanks for breaking the ice JC! haha… God bless you – you’re awesome, keep poling & keep praising…
I think the whole situation was irrelevant to being a believer… my opinion.
Only God can judge you, right? -
You know, it may have been Amy Raven… oh gosh, that would be three amy’s, too funny!
-
UGH! She definitely deserved a spot, no question… poor girl. hmm, im dying to know who the last person is, then.
-
Well, what about Lisa from BeSpun?! I thought for sure she’d make it!
-
I hear ya Roxy-Pink, ive been waiting forever – just tell me what I already know! haha… does anybody know of people who DIDNT make it in to the competition??
And Yes, congratulations to all the wonderful, strong ladies competing!! you all deserve it!! -
I’m sure everyone who got picked has already been notified. It doesn’t make sense to me that they’d only tell 4 of them one day, then 2 the next. We probably dont have as much contact with the other people…. just a thought – could be wrong!!
And Im sure there’s no rush for them to tell everyone else that they didnt make it… my thoughts! -
Finally we’re starting to hear back…. i havent heard anything either…. waaaahhhh!
-
Hey Bttrsweet (forgot your whole name!)
Grip gloves are NOT allowed during competitions, however; you may use grip aid formulas!
And, Im sure Alethea will get in there… I dont doubt that for a second!
Has anybody heard ANYTHING yet as far as amateur goes?!?!
-
Yay Takeila!! I cant wait to see you perform!! You are an outstanding dancer/performer… its going to be a great show. I wonder who wont make it into the Pro Competition… bummer, that can’t be easy.
I’m still waiting to hear back about the amateur competition! Sheesh! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Still no word this way, Karol… Im getting so anxious to find out who made it!! I want to know NOW! lol…
-
I was wondering that too Roxy!! Its Erica (egibsss) btw… I know I couldnt have made it in the only 6 spots, so Im hoping they at least tell me so Im not constantly checking my email still! haha… I’m assuming they would?
Im so excited to find out who all made it! There were sooo many good videos!! -
Im so anxious to find out who made it! There were so many great videos, what a hard decision!

Yes, floorwork is always a good idea! Maybe learning a basic climb on the pole, just how to get on it, and eventually sitting on it. Pole-ups? But maybe the 30 year old may not be able to do one…
Hmm, I honestly think its best to just tell them that theyre working and moving along at different paces, and just be real with them that youre finding it difficult to come up with things that the both of them can do. Maybe in a non-chalaunt (sp!) way? You could get them to work on the body spiral… ? Pirouettes? Work on flexibility?
I hope maybe this helped a little! -
I would say its mainly mental!! I, personally, feel like the reason I have progressed so quickly on the pole is because I was never afraid of it or of the pain. I didnt care what I had to do to get a move, I was going to get it! (maybe that sounds bad haha) but, just own the pole. you can do it girl!!
-
Ah! All the moves you have trouble with due to sweaty hands are EXACTLY the ones I have difficulty doing without grip aids! I have tried chalk/rosin/Tite Grip/ and Dry Hands. I tell ya, as soon as I did the iguana mount with Dry Hands… I remember giving a huge smile and short laugh, because it worked SO well. Its definitely my favorite. Havent tried Mighty Grip – but please let us know how you like it!!
I try not to use it often, but I probably use it everytime I pole dance because I use it when learning new moves, and sometimes it takes weeks and weeks to get a new move soooo bunches of Dry Hands is necessary!!
-
Oh yeah, the pole she got definitely came with photocopied instructions, and a burned copy of the KT Coates DVD… totally illegal…
Thanks for the information! -
WOW…. CONGRATS FLEUR!! I know in one round they HAD to wear heels…
Does anybody know who won 2nd and 3rd place? -
Ouch FreeThe Sun, that sounds painful… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
Definitely sounds like an issue with your joints, no fun. They’re not used to being pulled and in certain positions that they’re being trained to get in. Definitely have to take things slow! -
Totally normal to have one side more flexible than the other! I recently took a workshop with Alethea Austin, Miss Sexy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif and she gave GREAT tips on stretching. Keep at it! Everyday! If you want to get your splits, you need to be working on them for about 40 mins every day. It’s okay if it tingles… my legs about went numb. Tingling means your pushing yourself, thats good! Lunges are key. When you attempt your split, squeeze squeeze squeeze both legs into the floor (think… pushing front hip bone back and back hip bone forward). Look straight. This tingles… do it for about 10 seconds and then let gravity pull you down. You should be able to sink down more. Do this about 2-3 times. When coming out of stretches, do NOT just get out of position and move to the next. You need to slowly come out, like about a minute.. moving out more and more every 20 seconds or so. Just keep at it!

I have tried all three poles, Lil Mynx, X-pole, and Platinum Stages.
I find the grip on Platinum Stages to be the worst, I dont know how to explain it but I find them the hardest to grip. Lil Mynx was awesome, but if you dont want any holes in your ceiling, get the X-Pole! You can only use the Lil Mynx in that ONE spot where you drilled your hole… so you cant move it from room to room like the X-Pole. X pole is the best deal for such a great price.
To answer the question about why Lil Mynx is easier to put up than X-Pole….
Once you install the Lil Mynx hardware, all you do is slide the pole over the mount and its good to go, taking about 5 seconds. Where the X-pole you have to completely take down and put back together each time you put it up/take it down.Hope this helps!

ahh awesome!! i actually wanted to do amateur last night, and my friend was talking me up to all the workers about how good i am at the pole and how im gunna amaze them (she was drunk) and then come to find out they said i wasnt allowed to do any pole tricks at all. no spins, nothing… for liability purposes… so needless to say, i was really upset and it kinda makes me wonder if they purposely didnt want me up there making their girls look bad… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
