I have seen anywhere from $50/day to $200/day. I would be sure that you had a secuirity deposit in case it gets damaged and also a liability waiver (you do not want to get sued if someone gets hurt and it is your equipment).

And why has said video not come forward yet??

Have you by chance started taking birth control? This is a huge factor for many.

There has always been a lot of talk about body shape and if you look at the big names you will see that none of them fit the "bombshell" look. (look at Karol, Alethea, Becca, Zoraya…I could go on)
Amy had a really good blog post with a link to body shapes of athletes. Here is the link she provided in that blog. These are all Olympic athletes, the cream of the crop. http://ninamatsumoto.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/athletic-body-diversity-reference-for-artists/

Listen to Bitter:Sweet. I am sure they probably have a song that would fit your theme.

Then having explained that I would not spend my money there. Do they offer open pole sessions that you could attend for socialization?

I have 2 comments. first on the one instructor who is showing/teaching things that are too advanced…a good teacher knows/can assess the skill level of the student and teach accordingly. If youa re not strong enough to do a move then she should give you little parts to try to achieve before putting it all together. I personally would not go back to this teacher. Unfortunately you will run across a lot of advanced instructors that can do but cannot teach.
On the teacher who taught slowly….never underestimate people who teach slowly. There is a skill set and strength that needs to come before advancing. There is ALWAYS something to learn, whether it be a little nuance or a different variation of the same spin. This is where I think you may have jumped the gun with wanting to learn trick, trick, trick. Did you talk to the instructor (after class, not during) and explain that you were not feeling challenged? Did you ask to be shown different variations of the spins?

Have you talked to your red headed sister in Texas or the naughty mistress herself out in St Louis?

I did not use grip aids until I learned iguana mount.
What is your background that you are trying inverts after only 7 days? This is a little worrisome….

And just because I really like driving the point home, the standard plastic bottles that you buy water, juice, pop, etc in never ever contained BPA in the first place. BPA is used in polycarbonate manufacturing, not in high density poly ethylene (HDPE). More than likely your blender body is made of polycarbonate. And so are your glasses. And that water cooler bottle. BPA plastics DO still exist and are widely used. There is so much mis-information about what plastics are made with it and which ones aren't that people tend to think that all plastics are made with it.

Oh, and radiation is safe. How do you think our planet exists? Without the sun's radiation we would not be here.

I never said that chrome and chromium were not the same thing, I stated that chrome and hexavalent chromium are not.
I am not supporting nor defending XPole, I am stating simple chemistry.
Based on your statements then no one should ever eat any food from a can, drive a car, drink water from your tap, breathe air, get pierced, use sunblock, take vitamins, and the best one wear makeup! The pigments in makeup (especially the new fancy "mineral makeups") are metals!! And green eyeshadow is colored that way by….wait for it…….. wait for it………….CHROMIUM!!!!!! Chromium picolinate is a common supplement you can find at the grocery store. Just because one form of a substance is toxic/hazardous/whatever does not mean that ALL FORMS are that way.
This is simple chemistry and yes, I am going to stand on my soap box and try to drive this point home. It drives me crazy when people call something "chemical free" as that does not exist. Everything is made up of chemicals.

VERY cool!! Thanks for sharing!!!

There is no lead in chrome. You will not absorb lead into your pores. There is lead in base part of the pole, under the chrome, but that is not accessible to contact. California has laws that states even if you have the tiniest amount of lead in your product you have to put a warning on the label. XPole is in California, hence the warning on the label.
If you doubt me maybe you will not doubt this:

I have not touched a pole for months but got my strength back very quickly. DO NOT push yourself or you can do more damage! Let yourself heal! You would not believe the muscle memory that you will have. There are several pepple who have taken time off from pole (pregnant, injuries, life) and have been able to bounce back in no time. Also, impressive moves do not make you a pole dancer. Take this time to concentrate on your flow and floorwork. There is so much more to pole dancing than tricks!
