I cannot view videos here at work but I remember Veena did one not too long ago where in one part she was standing on a ledge next to her steps (it was her ET video). I think her red video was pretty hot, too.

Zumba is a different world. Have you talked to your Zumba instructor? I know a LOT of instructors that take other instructors classes…I am not sure if this is part of the Zumba culture.

Not to be a witch, but there are so many threads here regarding certifications and opinions on them. You probably will not get a whole lot of responses just because it has all been said so many times before. If you type certification into the search box you will have more reading than you can handle!

Neither of those two links works…just letting you know.

First off when you level your pole it needs to be level on 2 planes, not just one. What I mean by 2 planes is check the level where you had it and then move the level about 90 degrees and check the pole again. I am not sure if this is written in the XPole directions but I know it was in my original LM instructions.
Second, if your pole is off by just a hair it is going to be more extreme at the 2 ends…I did not see you take the level all the way to the ground, just saw you taking it up.

It kind of depends on the type of moves you are planning on executing as to whether or not your sides need to be exposed.
I have a cut up wife beater (tank top) that I wear over brightly colored bras or bikini tops or sports bras that is one of my go to tops. There is also a girl who has videos on YT on how to cut up shirts that has some cool ideas.

I used to have a powder coated but now have an X. I never had an issue with mine getting scratched and it was up in the middle of my garage and routinely had stuff bumped ito it and placed against it. The pole gets warm very quickly and can and will get to the point of ripping skin ESPECIALLY if you are new to pole. Learning a superman on this thing was a whole new level of pain, let me tell you! It is grippier than brass to me but in a different way. Brass will almost absorb some of your sweat where the PC will not. I know lots of people who have had issues with the LM stainless and I believe that Aerial Amy fixed hers by very lightly sanding it. Nymphadora has one and hates it with a passion.
I have been on pretty much all of the metals. The chrome X has been the least temperamental for me. I used to use the PS stainless and there was a very small window of proper room conditions for me with SS. Brass and titanium are great when I am cold but once my body gets to temp I have had issues with slippage and with the metal getting too hot while doing spins. I have heard that the poledanzer stainless poles are very similar in grip to chrome.

From somoene who teaches on free standing poles I would stay away from this option.

The top pics are X Poles and I believe that the guy worked with X Pole and his contractor.

Lyme, do not be discouraged. I have girls that have been in class for 5+ months and are just getting to the point of tucking and tilting. It is all about building the fundamentals so that the day it does happen you do not injure yourself. Pole is also not all about inverting….there are so many more moves that do not involve inverts at all. Look at some of the rookie routines from the Midwest Pole Comp….those girls were not allowed to invert!
On a side note: The one thing I notice from your picture is that your hips are kind of far away from the pole.

Get ye to an autoparts store and purchase anti-seize lubricant.
