Alright…that did not paste right. Might have some issues with the imbedding of the pole moves. See if this one works:

Pink, have you actually looked at the majority of pole dancers? NONE of them have waists.
Seriously look at Alethea, Karol, Zoraya, Becca Butcher, Jenyne, Felix. NONE of them have that hourglass figure. Not a one.
This is a pretty good photo album from the 2010 Miss Pole Dance Australia. Look through it and really look at the lack of "waists".

NYC, I will give you my input on Liquid Grip as I was the first to mention it. Itac does not work on my hands, it actually makes them sweat more. I have not tried it on other body parts. Dry Hands works a bit for me but lasts only a very short time. I do no suffer with extensively sweaty hands…if anything my hands are cold on a regular basis. Liquid Grip is very different than anything I have tried before. Ingredient list is alcohol, magnesium carbonate, thickener, fragrance. I can't quite pinpoint the fragrance but it is not overpowering or horrible (it kind of reminds me of play doh). A little bit goes a long way. It really dries my hands and STAYS. Even the stuff that I distribute to friends (what Luvlee was speaking of) does not have the lasting power that this does. It also creates a little bit of tackiness. Magnesium carbonate is what is in weightlifters chalk. It is a desiccant (think the little packets that some with shoes an such). Dry Hands uses a silica based desiccant, Liquid Grip is a magnesium based one. Also to note, magnesium carbonate is a food additive used to keep powders flowing.
When it is done and said, you can pick up a small bottle of it on Bodybuilding.com for $4.99 or you can see if your local Vitamin Shoppe has it at the store for $7.99. Either way it is a small expense to try it out.

I have never heard of a bronze pole.
Platinum Stages has a removeable brass pole and XPole is coming out with one this year I believe.

I remember the first time I did a pole workout which was mainly slow controlled stretches. It did not bother me while I was doing them but I think I was on the couch for 4 days following it. I could barely MOVE. Just wait…your body will soon adapt and then on days that you don't work out your body will ache!

Lindsy…have you tried Zumba? It really depends on your instructor so don't let one experience skew your thoughts on it. I was lucky to have an awesome instructor and it was easy going to class. She has moved to another locations and I am now taking a Cardio Hip Hop class that also incorporated toning (lunges, push ups, squates, etc) and I like this a lot too. For me, I have to be in a group setting for cardio. The energy of the room keeps me going and coming back. I HATE cardio and this has been the onely thing that I have been abelt to stick with for any length of time (a little over a year).

Here is a thread about it from a while back:

Welcome to the shoe destruction.
None of the sites will state that the shoes are made for pole dancing and none of the companies will back their shoes if you use them to pole. This is an ongoing dilemma for pole dancers and just something we kind of "deal" with. Basically they are designed for you to strut around in and take pictures and that is it.

I have very little waist but that is my body type. Having a small chest does not help matters, either. For me developing my lats and back has helped to make it appear that I have more of a waist than I do. You know that V shape that men strive for…same thing goes here. What has really made that has been a lot of upside down work. I would check out the Oxygen site for exercises that will help you develop that V.

And that is not even the correct link…

This was lit with a 12" black light in my spa room and it was not dark out. I also covered a belt and a pair of earrings with the tape and made myself a bracelet with it too.
Acrylic paint will not stay on the clear shoes…it is water based. Nail polish however will but you will not be able to get it opff without destroying the plastic underneath.

I bought the Duck brand at a craft store. I posted a pic to my profiole of my boots and am going to try to link it here….
Guess I cannot post the photo, only the link.

I was just about to type what Nymph stated. They are intentionally made this way because the plactic STRETCHES.
On a side note….Duck Tape comes in all sorts of neon colors. I oranged out the bottoms of my boots recently for a black light party we went to. It only lasted the night as I scuffed them up pretty good dancing but it was $5 a roll + 30 minutes of my time.

If they are actually performing ACRO POLE then I would not trust any removable pole…period. I have seen Pantera and also Mattcrobat move PS poles on some of their spins. I doubt highly that it would be much different on an XPole….they a similar in design.

Yeah, I thought the same Amy. It is not like any other grip aid that I have tried and it seems to last really long. I do not have super sweaty hands but I do have issues sometimes. I was surprised when I woke up the next day and could still feel it on my hands.

I also just found new stuff at The Arnold a few weeks back called Liquid Grip. It is similar to chalk but not as messy.
