Which one am I getting confused?

Pole dancing shop I believe is owned by Laura Ashton who also runs spinny t bags and pole dance jewelry. To the best of my knowledge it is legit. But why not buy directly from XPole UK?

This is where training with a grippy pole or a ton of grip aid helps out. There is one other option but I am not sure I would go with it unless I had a lot of time to practice, and that is a product used in bowling called ultra slide. There is a very thin line with that product between the ball flying off your hand and the ball sliding but you still having grip. The best advice I have though is to work as much as you can on that pole prior to the performance.

It has gotten to the point where I take ibuprofen BEFORE I go to class. Natural Calm is a great magnesium supplement if anyone is looking to add Mg, you just need to be careful as too much will make you run for the bathroom. It is amazing what it does for your sleep quality.

That is only available in AU. I WISH they had it here in the states as I would be all over that!
-
I have seen this done and I think there are one or two on here that have done this also. Should not be an issue.

I don’t know how old you are, but I can say that the days that I don’t wake up sore are few and far between. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older and have come to terms with it.

Lil Mynx is probably the most reasonable of them all. Or if you can find a *real* used XPole. The three that are mentioned are the only ones that should be considered.

I can answer that, no she is not.

A contortionist’s nightmare??

Is this instructor always like this or was she freaking out over the event herself and lashing out an unprofessional way? A five minute routine is difficult for ANYONE, let alone someone who is under the weather. Was she really accusatory or were her words out of concern and delivered improperly? How close of a relationship did the two of you have prior to this training? Had you ever asked her for advice on eating/training/etc for pole? There is a lot of information missing here before I go and say she was totally out of line for the way she behaved. I say this because I have told people to suck it up, made comment on their diet or lack there of, and have been a general bitch when I see that is what they need to hear/be told as a means of trying to snap them out of cycle of their own doing. Depending on their emotional state at the time they are either appreciative for the reality check or they think I am the worst person on the planet.

Sweet, Webby. I just never looked into it because a few taps is not a huge deal for me.
I think people want an easy button and are so used to having 50 million aps for everything under the sun. The only ones that I really use like a true ap are my banking and maps. I would not even consider facebook an “ap” as it is just different design for mobile devices, and I might add that I hate their mobile ap…..but I use it.

Quite honestly the lessons here are probably the best for conditioning properly and correct form. If I recall Veena is or was a PT and it shows in the lessons here. As for other resources, pole is so new that there are not really any guides. It encompasses dance, gymnastics, bodybuilding and so many other “sports” that it is often difficult to put it just in one classification.

When aps are designed properly it just makes it easier to access a site. Currently I have to access a browser then go to my favorites and then finally enter the site. I am sure there is probably a way that I can put a link on my phone that may streamline that but I have not explored that option. I will however say that there are a TON of really bad aps that I thought would make site access better but royally BLOW.

Most studios when designing their website grab stock photos off the internet to make their site look flashy. She probably just liked that picture and thought it was an advanced move without really putting much thought into it.

I was always an “instigator” in Cleveland and would email my jam group with stuff we were going to work on or try or just gawk at. Since I left the Monday night lunacy has ceased but I still email them with new stuff every once in a while, so it was not posted publicly but in an email. I had also posted it to the NC group that I belong to now and Dakota Fox posted a video to the group last night. This has been fun! And, no, I cannot do an inverted split grip so this is out for me….at least for now.

I love my Midwest friends. I posed a challenge to my old pole peeps and I get this on my FB account this evening. And yes, that is David!! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202192400067924

And she did just fine!
-
I will be there to give you support! Trust me, when I walked in for the first time after not having been at that studio for all of my training it was nerve racking! I am still behind on many things due to my just getting to this studio so we can be newbies together! BTW, I cannot do a lot of things on both sides, cannot aerial shoulder mount, cannot handspring, etc etc etc. I will say though that I have seen huge differences in what I CAN do and what I have allowed myself to try. Circus climbs are still a bitch and probably always will be!

WOW!!!!

Pleaser and Ellie are probably the most worn just because they are the easiest to find (Funtasm is one of Pleaser’s lines). Tony, Highest Heel and Karo are 3 other lines I have heard of but are difficult to find. Most of my shoes are Pleasers just because they tend to fit me better than Ellie’s do.
-
I have a friend who is currently doing this on Etsy. You buy the shoes and she places the crystals. There are a few others on Etsy that do the same. Veena has a DIY site of FB and there are some links in there to people who have done this. I want to say there are a few who also do this for competition costumes, so there is definitely a market.

I think I may have seen this from a shoulder mount but not from in inverted V. There is going to be too much twisting and repositioning of the upper body to do it from a baseball grip (at least in my opinion).

Veruca….oh my god I cannot believe it has almost been 2 years!

If you are on the tall side I would not suggest an SSA.
On a side note, this was an interview with Sheila Kelley last year. She had both poles on stage during the interview. First off, notice all of the stuff they stuck under the SSA base to level it and make it so it does not slide. Second, look at the height out of the box of the poles, and lastly, look at the movement of each.
