I showed the lady at my pole studio and she thought it was a great Idea, so I'm goin gto try and print out your page and post it on our bulletin board and maybe there will be some extra business for you. I hope! If not for Christmas then for pics in general.

I agree with Corby, it's a painful and expensive realization, but if you really want to get in the nitty gritty of pole dancing then you need a diffrent pole.
-
I'll maybe try a lay back. I don't know if I can do anything else that would show off the pole.
-
Do you have a stud finder? Cause the stud finder will help you find the beam.
-
I need a good position that I can do, lol. I think I'll get one!
-
Wow that is awesome! I want to try that!
-
They are cute they are pretty much one size fits most. It has her logo on it and its a black tank top. I hope they are still doing it.
-
EXACTLY!!! I would love to do that because I could my lil Mynx would bbe my static and the other will be spinning! I need to move! lol

Runemist34,
Yeah unfortunately in my lease there is a rule that you can't bolt things in the ceiling( I live in luxury apartments) I guess cause the ceiling is a smooth finish instead the pop corn type finish cause I used it in my last apartment and it had the popcorn ceiling and you couldn't tell the difference, but if you hang a potted plant ( in the place I'm in now) they want you to use those adhesive type hooks. I find it crazy, but its their rules and as long as I get my deposit back then fine I'll follow there rules. If I could I would have continued to use the pink lil minx pole. Since it has pink paint on it, it was quite grippy. I was just starting out and had Fawnia dvds lol, so I was just getting used to the fireman spin and stuff I hadn't even climbed or inverted at that time frame.

Runemist34,
When you warm it up do you mean just heat up the room or actually try to heat up the pole with like maybe a hair dryer, lol I'm sorry I'm sure that sounds really stupid, but my friend told me to do that with my chrome pole and I'm seriously considering it. I have a pink lil minx but I think I have to wait until I get a house cause it bolts into the ceiling. it's a decent pole, but I thik I want to get an Xpole I'm going to try my friend's pole she got a gold finished one, so I'll try hers.

Here is my Question the pole I have now is chrome (from another maker) and it is really slippery. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif I personally like the look of silver than gold. so I want a material that won't grip as hard as brass because we have that at my studio, but isn't as slippery as chrome, so all that is left in the silver look is titanium and stainless steel. Can I have input on which one I should get. I'm getting 50MM and most likely expert pole (Static and Spinning).
I think X pole should do something where people can do a trade in and the trade in can go towards the amount of their new Xpole, lol it sucks when you have to shell out more money! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I have a little minx and its pink, but it bolts into the ceiling, so it's in storage, but I have an S Factor pole (chrome…bad choice) that has a compression pad so that is better, BUT its too slick and it makes it difficult for me to practice because I'm always slipping it doesn't matter what I do I'm either constantly applying grip or whipping it down. Its made me a little fearful to practice, so I might go for a Xpole and try and sell my other one.

I bought her 5 videos and I love them to death! Especially the flexibility cause I think that, that is my little niche in pole. I already have natural flexibility, so I want to go even more. Any who, but some of the moves she did on beginner was not beginner for me like the pole split I was like what?! I'm still working on it. I would recommend it. I actually switch between hers and Alethea Austin's. Since I bought the pack of 5 I got a free tank top!
-
I'm looking for a crash mat too. The mat from urban dancer looks good I saw that they were sold out, so I hope they make them in pink cause it said more colors are coming soon. I think I might get a travel one so I can take it to my studio too.
-
I can't even get on the site to look at the mats that Alena sells.
-
For our fall Equinox, I made a great roasted vegetable medley and that was great! I'll look for it and post it!

Pole gal I would start lower to the ground, so it doesn't seem so far down to go. In cheerleading we use to cheat by sitting on one butt cheek, parting our legs and then rolling forward putting ourselves in it. If you don't go all the way down then that's fine when you can't stand it roll back to the side. Or you can use yoga blocks to put under your thighs to help take the pressure off of your hip joints. You want to stay in the stretch I know it hurts, but you have to stay in the stretch so you can continue to go further down. If you pop up after 10 seconds you aren't doing anything, you have to try and hold it for 30 seconds or as close to 30 seconds as you can get.

Try Youtube they have a bunch of videos on splits and flexibility and its FREE information. When it comes to practice, do what your body can do, you don't want to hurt yourself trying to do the splits. All of those suggestions are based on what those peoples bodies can do, when I first started out I did it every 2 days then as I got more comfortable I did every other day, now I do it every day while I'm watching television. If you want to progress a little faster then I would say every other day give your body extra rest if it needs it. If your legs are like screaming then don't force it. Can not stress it enough, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Your body at 13 is way different from now. When I was that age I could put my feet behind my head. That is not the case now, but I'm working on it again and one day I'll have it, but I don't over do it. Another thing is to keep your body warm and do something to warm your body up before you do the splits or you will really hurt yourself. Since it is the summer I just don't turn on the AC in my apartment and I use the heat in my apartment to help loosen me up and stuff. Sure I'm a soggy mess afterwards, but I'm good and stretched and it took little effort since I was nice and warm.

I agree with Runemist34. I have both of Felix Cane and Alethea Austins Pure Splits and they are both very good dvds. Most of all since its been a while be patient with your body. You can also find some stuff on Youtube as well there are a ton of cheerleading type tutorials and stretching tutorials, just look through them and see what you like.

Christmas tree splits huh? Well my apartment is small so I normally get those little Rosemary trees, so I'll try that. However I don't put mine up until Christmas Eve. It is a tradition that my mom did with us and then it just stuck. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

My friend had that problem and she literally had to wrap her ankle with a heating pad and she would do the normal point, flex, side to side, around in a circle motions to loosen it up. it took some time though, but she would do it every day, twice if she could, but you know life is going on and sometimes you can't do twice a day. Maybe that could work for you. O and I would try wearing socks that covers your ankle. Your ankle needs to stay warm, you may also need anklebraces too. Definitely go see your doctor to make sure.
Congrats on your achievements and good luck on the rest of your goals.

My mom loves the fact that I do pole. I sent her a celphone picture of me in the Scorpian and she was blown away! I'm sorry your Mother wasn't as cool with it, but some people will always view it under a negative light. I'm sure that if she saw it in full swing on youtube or even on this site where people keep their clothes on, she might have a slight change of mind.

One of my teachers was telling me that it all deepens, the smaller poles are good for inverts and spins, but some peole feel that when it comes to climbing 5o's are good. The smaller ones are preffered because people feel more secure on it. You know less metal in your creases. lol
-
I just found out that mine is 50. Which is fine with me. I have small hands, but I'd rather get used to this size then have a smaller one get used to the smaller one and then go some where that has a 50 and then have a hard time with it.
-
I'll try that! I'll just see what works for me. I tried the dew drop Super ( the strongest one), that didn't work at all I was a little confused by it. I was actually quite slick.
