Holy Crap….18 per class? One instructor? I cannot even fathom that. I have issues when I have 8! There is always someone that I feel I did not pay enough attention to. Unfortunately this is going to be the case in large classes and it is going to take a lot longer to progress. Even if the teacher spent only a minute with each student that is 20 minutes to practice ONE move.

Look up Luvlee on this site. She has videos from a jam we did in Columbus about 2 years ago and she was wearing her light up shoes in that.
OK…I looked it up. It was not her but Englann86 who posted the video: https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/049da6f0-bca1-11df-856f-001b214581be
The music died for some reason.

Aerial Amy has great tips for SM in her Tuesday Tips!

Are you able to get a reverse ayesha? (it is called batman on that site). This to me would be learning the basics of getting from an invert into a twisted grip hold. After getting that movement I would think this move would be easier to comprehend with your body.

((cough cough)) Studio Veena?? V has quite a few routines in the lessons.

I have an ultrasonic humidifier that I sleep with during the winter. The kind with filters are horrible. I believe that mine is a cool mist. Not really sure what the advantage of a warm mist would be besides possibly one more part that can go bad.

Yeah, google it. It was at least 3 years ago. I know because a lab I do work with got totally slammed with testing jewelry. The US adopted the EU's RoHS regulations for lots of imports. Yet another reason I know a *little* about hexavalent chrome…. ((cough cough))

She never switches legs that are on the pole.

If you watch any of the Pole Dance Australia videos those are the small poles. I think Angel of Discoveries Dance built one in her house.

It would depend on the type of tin ceiling that you have. It can either be similar to a drop ceiling where you have panels that fit into a grid or they can be nailed on. Either way I would never put a pressure mounted pole on it. Any of them will probably dent the tin.
-
Yep, I would agree. There was a big stink about cheap jewelry a few years back also containing I think cadmium. I believe most of it was pulled off the shelves but places like Etc and Claires had a ton of it in their stores. Most cheap jewelry has a high nickel content.

Marlo does it really quick at about 0:35 in this video. I am trying to find the vid where she did about 3 of them in a row:

And I never linked the one thrad wit the video. It is this one:

And I do it at abour 2:40 in this video:

But again, these are the static ones.
-
I cannot access videos while I am at work, but yes, I do it as a static pose. I think in one of the videos I have from So You Think You Can Pole Dance (in my videos) I did it. Of course I cannot point you in the right direction for that either.
I have seen Steven Retchless do this quite often but he has a ridiculous abgle because of his flexibility. Also, at the end of the video I linked in this thread she does a version that is super cool.
-
This is a really good picture from the side. You can see where the pole is sitting on your bum more clearly.

Jamilla calls this a tail spin in her dvds (that is where I got the name)…I cannot even imagine doing this as a spin.
-
You are so lucky VB! That is the down side of being too grippy. I will also add that I think grip aids were being used on top of brass…maybe…..can't remember for sure.
-
Do you have the powder coated LM? Have you ever gotten a burn on your hand from working on spins on it? It is not much worse than that BUT if you have a bunch of people on the pole like during a jam it can over heat. But that is for any brass. It is just the thermal properties of the metal. There is a reason that cooking pans have copper bottoms and brass has a good percentage of copper in it.
-
Well, that was pretty easy:

This move KILLS my back. Jamilla teaches this in one of her dvds and it took me months (and many many many painful roll overs onto lady bits) to find my balance on this move. This really is the pole sitting more on your tail bone or right above your crack and then trying to find your balance. For me it is easier to get into from a release than from a sit…my butt is already very close to the position it needs to be in. My hands are also very close to my cooch in order to get the proper angles. I know I asked about this move quite some time ago…let me see if I can dig up that thread.

There are quite a few threads here regarding this and some of them get a little nasty. Speaking from experience, PS brass are very grippy and will over heat if you are doing lots of spins on them. If you plan on more static moves or working on spin mode they are good. I was in a Karol workshop and a girl ripped a huge hunk of skin off the ball of her hand, but I will also say that 2 people were working on the pole and we were doing spin after spin after spin. *For me* brass is too grippy, and I am one who started off with a pink LM. Everybody is different though and my best suggestion is to try to find a studio that might have one for you to try.
-
Wow, I thought I responded to this. After 3 months I would say hand and general arm strength. A one handed spin is NOT easy to do…lets not even get into things like reverse grabs! In order for my student to get used to using onely one hand I will have them practice fireman spins and one they are spinning to place that lower hand on their knee. Once they get the feel for that then I will let them start practicing getting into it with only one hand. I will not let them get there though until they can demonstrate that they can keep that arm and shoulders engaged instead of falling into "ear to shoulder".
I also love my powerball gyroscope for building grip and forearm strangth.

A few suggestions I have: try applying the super strength antiperspirants to your hands before going to bed at night. This may cause them to dry out and crack so be prepared (that is a whole other issue). There is also a procedure called iontophoresis which is bascially passing a low electrical current through water while your hands are soaking in it. I know a few bodybuilders that have done this (guys) and have had great success. For your doctor to tell you there is nothing that can be done is incorrect. You may find some help at this site (I am linking the iontophoresis info but the site is a good reference)
