Welcome Becky!
My sis lives in Mary Esther and I have been visiting that area since the late 80’s.

Just talked to the bar manager and he wanted to know how I already knew about this because he just found out the other night. I told him he had NO IDEA how big of names they are getting in and the fact that the 3 of them are going to be in one place!
From what I was told this afternoon (none of this is totally set in stone):
Friday night performance at Score Bar, probably 9-10ish. I was told no cover.
Saturday Columbus is a zoo so they will just have a DJ and possibly just pole play. No performance scheduled.
Possibly a performance Sunday night. This is not set in stone.
Just so everyone is aware, not that I think anyone has an issue, Score is a gay bar and the Columbus Pride Festival is this weekend. This is a HUGE event in Columbus.
I also had to ask how this came about. I guess the owner decided to put up a pole a few months back and then they decided that for the festival they were going to get male pole dancers. I don’t think the owner has a CLUE what he just booked or that his club is going to be over run by the pole community!

Welcome!!!

Depending on how many are in your class you can maybe assign a person per class to bring say 3 or 4 songs. I know that S Factor has "class" and then they have "dance". At the end of each class is time for each and every one to dance to a song of their choice. Not really sure how they have it set up player wise, whether it needs to be on a cd or mp3 player.
When I was taking classes at Be I always had my ipod with me. Sometimes we would use studio music, sometimes Mindy had a new CD and sometimes I would just play my playlist. Most of the time it was just background music and not really used for any purpose. When I taught a few classes I had some low key music that I used for warm up and cool down and then just shuffled my playlist the rest of the time. I think I had about 200 songs on my pole list.
One thing that one of the S ladies did was to send her 3 songs and then she put together a 2 cd set for all who were involved. Maybe you could give your students a sheet and ask them to give you 5 songs they think would be good for class and then you could put together a playlist from that. If you really wanted to get fancy you could burn a copy for each one of them to have afterward.
I can’t remember, are you teaching series of classes or just single classes?

Also – the FUN POP is the one I use for parties or Intros or Jams because it’s safe. A little bit of something for everyone.
It’s always funny when "Stayin’ Alive" comes on…
I remember taking a few classes down at the S Studio in Houston and one of the songs that she had during warm up was Like A Virgin.Jessie…also look into the itunes imixes that people have put together. There are some GREAT songs in there. I know Veruca has a few mixes in there. I have searched on pole, stripper and S Factor and greatly expanded my song selection.

Lol Pam is it bad I could tell by your lil minx pole? At least it was a pretty good assumption.
Yeah, not too many hot pink ones out there!

I had a huge playlist on my ipod that was just called "Pole". I had everything from Aretha to Eminem on there (I say had because I had to restore my pod about a month ago and I lost everything). What really works for me is rock and blues. Kid Rock and AC/DC….if there is a pole near by I will be on it. I am also a big "old" Prince fan but I have to be more in the mood for it. For just slinking around something like Lizz Wright-I Idolize You. I also have been wanting to dance to The Eagles-Those Shoes and Ted Nugent-Stranglehold but have not yet. I know my old instructor needed angry type music if she was trying to nail a new move and needed to get her adrenaline up.
A few good places for music are stripperweb and the S Factor forum.

Jessie…HEY!!!! Glad you found us!! This is a great group here and LOTS to learn.
(BTW, this is Pam)

Whatever you do, do not go behind his back and post without his knowledge/approval. Remember that NOTHING on the internet is secure. If you think that it may come back to bite you in some way in the future (think job interview) DO NOT post it. There is nothing that says you have to post here to track your progress, it is just as easy to keep it on your computer at home.
I have been poling over 2 years and just recently put some practices up here on SV. There are others I know that pretty much have never posted a video.
At some point in time he may become more comfortable but for right now it is really not worth it.
-
Can’t help you out with this one. I have a hot pink LM and for me many times it is too grippy. I am surprised that yours is so slippery.
-
Ummm….first you should not be doing ANY spins one handed to start!
We all started somewhere and I can tell you that each and every one of us sucked. This is not something where you just walk up to a pole and you instantly rock it! It all takes time and practice.
-
Here is the information for the Chicago Jam. I believe that the FB link is in there.
-
What kind of pole do you have?
-
I could never do the chair until I saw somewhere that the bottom hand should be more facing up and used just to push yourself away from the pole. I have always had problems with full bracket anyway and even do my carousel half bracket.
-
This may sound funny but hold the pole with one hand and run around it trying to get airborne. Do some skips and such, just be careful that you do not get too dizzy.

Happy Birthday Sexy!

WELCOME!!
Hey, there is a jam in Chicago in August…why don’t you join us?
-
It’ll stay on may just "crack" a little after awhile….and you are more than welcome to come on up here and get painted up!!! I should really talk to them about making this a group shoot lol.
Is this the guy who does the airbrush painting? I know he was at Kickstand a few times and he was at the Arnold too this year.This guy:

Ummm…yeah, that is all airbrushed. I know I have seen a bunch of his other work but cannot find it right now.

Sissy…I wish that I was able to take pictures….went to a black light party a few months back. I bought the black light hairspray, which is clear in normal light and then blue/white in black light. I had my clear pumps, green/pink/white knee sox, white shorts, green bra and pink fishnet top. I had sprayed the hairspray into a cup and proceeded to paint myself (I have a black light at home). When the regular lights went off at midnight and they just had black lights I got up and poled. I GLOWED!!!!
Now we return to our regularly scheduled topic…..
-
I do not like them.
I will admit though that I have used close fitting nitrile gloves from work while trying new inverts but those are $6 a case of 100 and I could care less if they rip or roll. I have contemplated trying liquid latex but am not sure how durable that stuff is. I always thought it might be cool to paint some designs on your legs with it.

I can still get on here from work but most other sites I cannot.
Time to get a droid.
-
I call it Charley’s Jade because you are the only person I have seen do it…(and I plan on trying to steal it).

On the Russians you really need a pillow or something cushy under your knees.

Talk to the trainer you have been working with. After each and every session working out STRETCH. -
PS has been having all sorts of quality issues lately and from my experience their customer service SUCKS. PS is also stainless, not chrome. However, I really like that Star Standalone that PS has out now, but again it is not without issues.
I know a few people have been having some problems with the new Xperts but I believe that XPole is trying to get things fixed as soon as humanly possible.
That being said, if I had to choose between the two you have listed I would go with XPole. (Oh, and I would buy it through House of Pole….hint hint).
