The pole at Slam Jams is not that bad but then when you are climbing and doing all sorts of stuff on it barefoot….well, let’s just say I had some issues! I did not even realize that I had damaged my foot until the next morning when I got in the shower. Both times we have gone out there it was a week night and the place was kind of dead….no fighting over the pole.
There are a few girls planning on hitting SIN this weekend (I am not one of them). I guess the pole there is a spinny….. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif

I have yet to be to Hotties but have heard about their poles (and about the issues). SIN (used to be Traffic) downtown also has poles along with a few places in Akron. The pole at Slam Jams is brass and pretty tall but it is also scratched to hell. The top of my foot is just starting to heal from almost 3 weeks ago. There is also a group of Ohio girls that has been getting together in Columbus at a bar called Kickstand. They have live bands and the pole is set up in front of the stage. If you search for Luvlee she has some videos up of the jam in March on her profile. They had all gotten together this past Saturday again but I was unable to make it.
Be is a small studio and only has 3 poles so classes are kind of small. I sat in on a class last night and there were only 3 girls. She also does privates but they are a little more pricey. I used to go to the advanced class on Monday nights and it was usually me and the instructor…sometimes one other person would join but that was about it. If you talk to Christina just tell her that you do not like lots of people and she can suggest a time when it is less crowded.

Hey Momma…I am in Bedford Heights….not too far from you!
If you are looking for classes I would highly recommend Be Studios at 104th and Clifton in Cleveland (Lakewood border).
What bar were you playing at? (just to make sure that my list of bars in the area that have poles is complete!) If you look at my profile I have pics taken a few weeks back at Slam Jams in N. Olmsted.

ANY pole can come down on you if you do not inspect it prior to using it. I have had my lil mynx up for over 2 years without issue, but mine is directly into the wood, not through drywall and then into the stud. I know people have had issues with the drywall breaking away over time thus causing both ceiling damage and an unstable pole but if you are taking it down every day you would be able to inspect that rather easily.
If I had a choice to do it all over again I would probably go with X-Pole just because I like the portability and flexibility of the height of the pole.

I think Jenyne did something like that in last year’s USPDF competition but good luck trying to find that video!
There are videos of pole superstar out there that have Sarah’s and Alethea’s routines and I think one of them did something similar during that competition.

Welcome!!

I tried looking for her on facebook but i couldn’t find her. :/
Type Shawn Frances Lee into the search bar at top. Either that or search for urban fertility dancer.
Not sure if this link will work or not:

I LOVE Zumba!!! You really need to search out a good instructor though or at least one that suits your style. My instructor has a background in hip-hop and belly dance so that really comes through in her style.
I went to a Zumbathon Friday night and there were at least 6 different instructors. There were only 2 out of the bunch that I liked. One had routines that were straight out of TurboJam and one was just ridiculous with her choreography. There was one guy that had a disco themed routine which was fun and he also had a capoeira/african themed routine.
Usually you can get drop in classes for under $10. If you go to Zumba.com you can find classes in your area.

Price is ridiculous for anyone in the US when you look at the exchange rate. I don’t know anyone who is willing to pay over $1200 for a pole, not including shipping, when we have Star Stand Alone available for about $500 and the X Stage for $800.
That said, I think part of the other issue people had with this when it came out was that ONLY the pads were available to go around the base. I see that they are supposed to have hard bases available in May of this year.

I do. I am short waisted but long bodied, if that makes sense. I have a hard time with 1 pieces. Gonna try them on anyway!

That pic was in a Men’s Health magazine or something like that and went across 2 pages. He has an INCREDIBLE body.

OMG…just saw that Denis Leary is going to be in town. Not sure who is sexier to me, him or Jason Statham.
Something about that bad boy look (plus Jason has pole skills….how can you not like a man for that??

The thyronines act on nearly every cell in the body. They act to increase the basal metabolic rate, affect protein synthesis, help regulate long bone growth (synergy with growth hormone), neuronal maturation and increase the body’s sensitivity to catecholamines (such as adrenaline) by permissiveness. The thyroid hormones are essential to proper development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. These hormones also regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, affecting how human cells use energetic compounds. They also stimulate vitamin metabolism. Numerous physiological and pathological stimuli influence thyroid hormone synthesis.
Thyroid hormone leads to heat generation in humans. However, the thyronamines function via some unknown mechanism to inhibit neuronal activity; this plays an important role in the hibernation cycles of mammals and the moulting behaviour of birds. One effect of administering the thyronamines is a severe drop in body temperature.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone.Early symptoms:
* Being more sensitive to cold
* Constipation
* Depression
* Fatigue or feeling slowed down
* Heavier menstrual periods
* Joint or muscle pain
* Paleness or dry skin
* Thin, brittle hair or fingernails
* Weakness
* Weight gain (unintentional)Late symptoms, if left untreated:
* Decreased taste and smell
* Hoarseness
* Puffy face, hands, and feet
* Slow speech
* Thickening of the skin
* Thinning of eyebrowsBasically everything you said with the exception of high triglycerides is a symptom of hypothyroidism (although they can be attributed to slow metabolism, weight gain and inactivity).

K….just downloaded the pics from my camera:

Hey girls…I was just at Walmart yesterday and they had 3 really cute monokini’s. Now I have been to 4 different Walmarts recently looking for a pair of shoes but this was the only one that had these. If you have a yuppie WM near you this is probably the one to hit. All three were made by OP and ran about $20. The first was denim looking with hot pink metallic polka dots, deep plunging with a little bit of ruffles by the plunge; the second was white with black ties and had the tattoo look (a few bright tattoo looking prints in about 3 places); the last looked like camo but then had electric green in with the olives and was more of the strapless style (but it still had ties that could go around your neck). I took some pics with my phone and will try to get them posted.

I am not sure what color I like the best now. The bright red/fuchsia was my fave before but now the black? I am talking about your hair, or course! Both colors really make your eyes POP.

Have you tried seeding Pandora with Tool Sober and see what you come up with?

The girls have talked to the HVAC guy and he says everything is running correctly. I think summer is the season I need to stock up on dry hands.
Most contractors won’t do the work it takes to check things properly. Sorry but it is a reality of life.If the studio is renting the space they need to deal with their landlord and get things fixed.

I just found these side ties by accident. Don’t think I would pay $50 for them but $20….maybe:

Try hitting your pole with your blow dryer for a bit. Also if you put your hand on the pole and then run around in circles the friction does wonders for warming it up (just don’t get too dizzy).

Amyxshi I believe did a light sanding to her LM because she had all sorts of issues with it.

Dehumidifier
Get the AC guy in to clean the coils of the unit
Make sure that the AC unit is properly sized for the space
(can you tell what my husband does for a living??)

Google "physics of pole dancing"…I came up with TONS of hits.
You also may want to interview someone from Hardcore Poles (or what is the name of the other one that Empy uses??) that makes their own poles and see what goes into the design and testing of them. They may not want to give away their secrets though.

The guy who owns this site also has one called kendrastripperpole.com and officialkendrapole.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It also looks like he owns or administers the raffle site that scrolls across the store site. They also have a youtube site associated with raffleflorida.
Just saying……
I just saw on that Kendra site that he has videos of Veena and Joel and Karol. Isn’t this illegal?
Veena, do you have contacts within XPole? These 2 sites are FAR from legit!

Whats the U turn? sorry not getting the hang of the quote thing! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
That is the one where you do the box splits on the pole and then bring the top leg over and to the front so it ends up looking like you are sitting with your legs in front of you.
