Holy crap! I didn’t realize that the event is in Charlottesville!! I’m in Richmond so that’s only an hour away from me!! Is it really Sunday at The Paramount at 3:00pm? I have no pole friends in Richmond (everyone I know is too chicken). IS ANYONE MEETING UP BEFORE THE SHOW? I’D LOVE TO MEET AND SIT WITH THE GIRLS FROM SV!

I heard that xpole makes some special new release tool. Haven’t gotten it yet because it’s not in stock but they swear it will work!!!

I’m going soon. I live in Richmond va and the closest one I’ve researched online is in D.C. Look up New York Trapeze School. Maybe they have more.

Hey,
I learned from rock climbing hard for a few years that you tear down muscle when you use it and then you really only build muscle when you give your body a rest after a hard session. If you don’t take at least a day in between hard practices, your body never has a chance to build up the muscle.
I do a couple of hours of learning new moves on Friday nites and Sundays, a super light session on Monday (maybe walking around it and floor work) and then Wednesday I go to pole class which is also pretty light.

My hub could do a kickass inverted V from the very first day we put the pole up!

A little west of Richmond!

Yeah, maybe it’s just me being so new. I mean, our teacher does a great job of showing us a combo of a turn, a floor move, and a spin. The thing is that it takes maybe 30 seconds to do and then I just try to remember and do spins and turns but I feel like they don’t really look that great! It would be cool to have a whole routine!

my textured ceiling was one of my biggest concerns before I ordered my pole. Who wants to buy an expensive pole and then not use it because it will tear the ceiling up? BUT, I put it up anyway and it was just fine. A couple of flakes came off the first time and my husband kind of just looked at me like i was nuts but from then on no more fell off!!! No problems and I use the xpole almost everyday.

I’ve got popcorn ceilings in every room of my house! I used to hate them but they’re cute with my modern looking house! Anyway, I put up and take down my x-pole and don’t have a problem with any of it falling off. My husband almost didn’t want me to order the pole because he was worried about the ceiling stuff crumbling off but I did it anyway and it’s just fine.

Yup!
When your husband texts you to ask what you’re doing and the message you see says "Polehoppin?"… you might be a poledancer.
I agree with Glitterhips… When your husband hears a loud thud and doesn’t bother to see what is was…you might be a poledancer.
When you tell your stepdaughter that the slight indentation in the ceiling came from trying to put up a smoke detector in her room instead of that your pole slipped because it wasn’t positioned correctly…you might be a poledancer. (Whoops!)

Make sure your bottom hand thumb is pointing up. I used to try it down and it never worked! First time I tried it with thumb up, I got it!
