Old style or new syle? THis is a big different when it comes to price.
And how do you mean "stuck"?

Where are you finding 3 foot foam at JoAnns? The widest I have ever seen was 24".

This may be attributed to your move and being in a new space. Where youa re now, does it feel comfortable to you or is your life still in a state of turmoil? Some of us need safe and comforting to dance, some of us need turmoil. You may be concentrating too much on getting back to pole/dance instead of feeling the moment. I know that it is really hard for me to just dance at the studio but I can at home or at the club. I know women who can only dance and be free at their studio. You need to find what it is that makes you feel different about the two places where you poled that is coming through in your movement now.

Head stands and any move that strengthens the core is essential for these moves. While I have the core strength and can bust out straight edges like there is no tomorrow I have issues with anything that requires my body to be bent, mainly because my upper body is much shorter than my lower and finding the right angles has proved problematic.

Lots of infor on the Felix Cane ones here:
https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4e0f6aef-c2a0-4ee1-9454-53ee0ac37250
I have not seen both sets so I do not have an opinion. I will however say that for the money and the instruction/feedback/ability to ask questions Veena's lessons are what I would recommend.

I would say that any studies that apply to gymnastics would cross over to pole. I know there have been quite a few articles written in magazines lately. I would also suggest contacting Matt from Jasmine Dragons in Ohio. He can give you first hand knowledge of what aerial arts (pole, lyra, silks) ahve done for kids as probably 90% of his students are 15 and under.
In your searches don't just look for "pole" look for circus arts.

VDub, go and check out the Danskin line at Walmart. I have seen larger sizes in their line and they are cute and cheap.
Here are also a few threads with sports bras for large chested women:

I personally would not let those near my pole. I do enough damage to it with the metal hooks from my boots. Another note, typically those spikes are on with nothing but glue, although those look more like silicone spikes than metal.

I suggest measuring how high you hit with shoes and arms totally extended upward and use that as your distance. I think minimum 6 feet apart though is a good measure. For me I need a good 8 foot of clearance. Another way to measure is to hold onto your pole and bend down, extending your leg. If you hit the other pole or any walls/furniture you are too close. Add 6-7" if you ever plan on practicing in shoes.

Marlo was the first one that I ever saw do a version of this move. I have never seen it extended out though.

I have lots of music suggetions for dubstep if it goes that way.
Not sure all of you can see this but there is a TON of really good music here. Alethea is NOT a dubstep fan and decided to dance to it during Bringing Sexy Back wseek. She asked for suggestions. Here is the response:

If you are freinds with her on FB look back in her timeline to around July 11….there are a lot more suggestions. Which just reminds me that I really need to get to downloading some new music.

They do make ones for spinning and ones for static holds. When they first came out there were some flaws and the stitching just did not hold up. Mighty Grip has since remedied it. Just another sign of a good company….they take known issues and actually try to fix them.

I have pictures in my profile. I think I bought mine about this time last year. I am not sure if all of the new ones are the 10" style but I do know that they changed the set screw design so that it is actually a screw now.
New style: https://www.studioveena.com/photos/next/4ec45e6f-4a0c-43d8-8590-09be0ac37250
The old style you can see a seam/gap in the piece.
