I love the look on your face….it is a mix of terror and jubilee!

Not to hijack this but along these lines….where I work is very restrictive on all fronts. I cannot call one of the manufacturers toll free numbers because it has "976" in it.

It was the Russian chick who danced to the Zeds Dead remix of Massive Attack

Grip is the #1 problem for beginners…you either don't have enough or you have too much. 4 weeks is probably what, 4 classes? The only thing I can say is that it does get better.
Seeing as you said you went from too little to too much I would say it is definitely just getting used to holding your own weight. Room temp, humidity, types of lotions you use, even fabric softener on your clothing can all have an effect on your ability to hold on. My one friend will not even wear deodorant when she performs because of the moisturizers in deodorant that will mess up armpit holds or wipe off on the pole.

I was thinking that it would turn into the ugliness that has reared its head here (and on facebook) on numerous occasions. I saw that as "things manufacturers say", not as "things that get said to manufacturers".

Pretty much all poles made for home use are easy to install, much more so with the bottom loading systems. You will need a level and a stud finder. Stucco should not be an issue.

I really do not think that is a good idea as it could turn very ugly very fast. There are facebook groups called Peace and Pole dedicated to pole studios getting along, I really think the manufacturers should adopt this also.

Luvlee, street clothes are what you throw on to go out shopping or to work, not the fancy stuff you wear to go out dancing all night.

Glitter….just smile. Seriously that is all you have to do and you will be in.
Be true to yourself and do a warped dance to some MJ song….ummmm….Beat It comes to mind (ha).

I did not know your background or that you had been inverting for so long. I am also happy that you did get proper instruction. I cannot tell you how many people have injured their back from inversions (almost as many as hurt shoulders from twisted grip/reverse grabs or forearms from bracket holds).
Were you doing anything else when you inverted, as in trying to spin it or try a new move? I have had times when even slipping a little with my hands I will twist my torso ever so slightly and I will end up with issues. Right now it is just best to let it rest (yeah, some of the hardest words for a pole dancer to hear). Deep freaking painful massage has been the only thing that has helped me. If I were you though I would get an xray done just to be sure that there is no other damage. The last thing you want to do is mess up your spine.

Sounds to me like you are inverting probably before you should be. There are a few threads on here regarding when you should invert. Everyone wants to go upside down so quickly and do not engage in theh proper conditioning. Those of us that have been around for a while are not just saying this stuff to keep you guys "down"….we are saying it because when we learned we were taught sloppy technique and ended up injured.
You most likely have a knot under your shoulder blade that is spasming. I personally go to a sports massage therapist about every 6 weeks. If the muscle is swollen it does not matter what a chiro does for alignment, if they do not do anything to alleviate the swelling/knot the muscle is just going to push your vertebra out of alignment again.

Lots of threads on here. They all point back to this one:

I also want to thank you for actually listening to the critiques without getting upset. After the recent events I was hesitant to post anything but at the same time in order for us to grow I think we need others to look at our performance and see where we need work.

THAT was the one I could not think of! Thanks!
