And I hate to say it but appearing on Oprah was the door that opened this workout to the general public, whether or not she was the first to have a school. But S Factor does not promote this as a "sport". It is promoted more as a way for women to get in touch with their feminine side and have fun and get in shape at the same time. It has always been more about letting go than form and perfection.

Sheila does not claim she was the one who took it out of clubs. She realized how great of a workout it was when she was working on The Blue Iguana and thought it would be great to bring this to the masses. She was the first one that I know of in the United States to bring it mainstream as she was on Oprah. BYW, Dancing at the Blue Iguana came out in in 2000 and Sheila publilshed the S Factor book in 2003. I don't know when she opened the first S Factor studio.
Prior to this I do not believe there was anyone who had really taken this out of the clubs. KT Coates I don't think started training others until after 2005-2007 ish (ME, correct me if I am wrong), and Pantera did not release her Pole Tricks 101 until 2007. If anyone Fawnia Dietrich could be classified as the very first Pole Dance Instructor as she opened her school around 1994 but I think it still was strictly for exotic dancers. I am not sure when her first video came out.

Just a correction: Lil Mynx you DO have to drill a hole for the top piece. PS is also a tension mounted pole.

I hate unexpected expenses.

I am going to speak up before others here do….yoga really should not and cannot be learned properly from a video. This is one of those things that you really need a yogi looking at your form to get the full benefit from it. I think Aerial Amy had a blog regarding yoga (or maybe she posted something somewhere about it). I also have a friend who is extremely vocal about things of this matter.
I know that Dara Torres dvd is highly recommended and there is another one that I cannot think of the name of right off the top of my head. (I will post later)

MemberMay 8, 2012 at 2:46 pm in reply to: buying a second pole: X-Pole X-Pert vs. PS Extreme Super Pole Multi PieceDo you actually take the pole places? If not then I would not be so concerned about the case. I also believe that people have purchased ski cases to carry their poles which work out a little better than even the ones supplied.
It was my understanding that you could still make the PS pole a top loading if you so chose to. I want to say that a few have done that but I may be remembering incorrectly. I think they may even have that as an option when you purchase the pole.
I think it is good to have poles from each company and different finishes so that you can see the difference. I am not a spinny person but pulling the pin is probably the one big plus that PS has.
I do know that PS is still having issues with the machining of the multi piece poles (at least they were about 6 months ago, maybe not now). The breaking issue was fixed by them making the threads longer than they used to be. My friend had pieces that were not threaded properly so they did not fit together. It took I want to say 2-3 weeks to fix that problem.
As for the sticking, purchase anti-seize spray before putting it together the first time and you should be fine.

I can't believe he cut off all his hair!

I had my Lil Mynx powder coated out there but I have seen videos with X Poles out in the garage.
-
EXACTLY what sensual said. This is in the instructions and is a part that everyone seems to gloss over.
I do not understand by what you mean by not being able to move them apart.
-
Make sure that they are lined up with the grooves that are in the threaded section. I have a feeeling that they are not and this is why they are sticking out a bit.
-
I will say that my garage was difficult in both mid summer and winter. Summer it was too hot and sticky and winter it was too cold.
-
Mine was in my garage for the first few years I had it. First I had placed a piece of panelling diwn under my pole then I had replaced that with the foam squares.

MemberMay 7, 2012 at 10:10 am in reply to: Need advice on making a floor for my pole areaYou can pick up pieces of panelling at Lowes or Home depot for about $20-25 a piece. They are 4' x 8' pieces. If one is not big enough you can attach 2 together to give you an 8 x 8 space. I would use metal brackets to secure the two pieces together.
-
What factory coating? Are you talking the light oil that may be on the pole?
-
I have been to Thurman's in Columbus and have eaten one of theirs (not this one but similar).

I do not eat like this all of the time but if I am some place and there is something that looks spectacular and is thousands of calories I really do not care.

Oh, I think Alethea popped out during one of her performances recently and Felix had her bottoms break at the sides.

In the future invest in some nipple covers.

On tops it is better to tape your top to your nips than to try to tape the edges. The only other thing I have taped was bra straps.

I have not danced specifically for my husband. He has watched me practice many times and has almost dropped weights on himself watching me in my booty shorts. HOWEVER I have performed a few times and he is like a proud poppa.
I will say that he enjoys the way I move my body now when we go out dancing though….

I have not birthed children. My husband has 2 that I have been step mom to for 16 years.
