Never heard of them and not impressed. I honestly do not trust any manufacturer but the main ones.

Karol has been all over the place and there have been videos up. Her latest was a few weeks back at the Florida Pole Championship and I absolutely ADORE her routine from it. This weekend she will be judging and performing in Detroit. She just does not post so much under her Redke profile.

LiveOnce: Before selling and buying new contact Randy. For some reason I was lead to believe that you could change your statics to rotators with a few simple parts.

It comes down to understanding that you cannot talk about all aspects of your life in all situations. It is not a matter of you being you, it is a matter of people don't need to know. There are numerous parts of my life that I do not broadcast here or on FB. And I certainly do not broadcast at work about my life outside of work…..I learned that lesson a long time ago.

I am quite a bit older and quite a bit heavier than the majority of girls in pole period. I am amazed daily at what my body can do and I always get that they hope they can be like me when they get to be my age. Don't give up. You would be surprised that those girls are probably just as self conscious as you are.

Is this your first time poling? It may be more an issue with hand strength/improper form. Pole grip is stuff like dry hands, tite grip, grrrip, liquid grip, mighty grip, rosin, etc etc etc. They make your hands tackier and some have drying agents to cut down on sweaty hands affecting grip.
-
It also takes some flexibility in your back which I totally do not have. I have been working on booty bouncing for about as long as I have been poling and there are things I can and cannot do.

And probably one of the funniest videos I have ever watched regarding this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K88yBMzm4Dc

I will also say though, as I have in the other threads, I would take a cert just for my own personal knowledge because I am that type of person. And I would bet that most instructors would seek out some sort of cert, be it ACE/AFAA or just continuing education. There are so many resources available online now that it is silly not to educate yourself.

According to PDD it is also called a switch or a shoulder mount to half flag. The only kamikaze listed is also the cocoon.

You may not get a lot of responses as this topic has been discussed quitre a lot here on the forum and I think every aspect has been covered. Here are the thraeds if you would like to read through them:

Honest truth, when a new student walks through the door they do not know what it takes to learn or teach pole so having a certification means nothing to them. On the same note, you can make up the name of a certification and the majority of student will not even check it out before stepping foot into a studio. Location and price are typically what is most important.
Now ask that same person after they have been poling about a year and your answer may me completely different.
To this day I still could care less if a person has a "pole certification". I do not think it is necessary to be a good instructor. More important to me is years in the industry and knowledge of how to get me in and out of moves effectively and safely. But again, I am 5 years in. I could care less about this stuff when I was first starting out….all I wanted was to learn how to pole and even contacted a bunch of the strip clubs by me to try to learn. Fawnia, Sheila, Pantera, KT….none of them had "certifications" when they started out.

That is just 3 fonji's in a row.

Exactly what AG said. THe pricing appears to be the same and I know Veena at times runs free shipping. But the best way hands down to know for sure is to contact XPole UK. http://www.x-pole.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=151&Itemid=132

Sorry…horizontal.
It just looks like a variation of an elbow grip pole split.

Allegra is with the pole to your back.
Very similar to this but she is more vertical: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8429/7875123192_c8a32bdb1b.jpg

I have seen the contract and there is a section in there regarding paying for training, so I do not think it would be free. Also, Satine has been in this game I think for 3 years and was teaching in NOLA at a small studio but it did not take off, so the only thing they would be teaching her is their way of pregressing and structuring class. But again, if they are training and making her follow guidelines then she is NOT by law considered an independent contractor. However if she signs the contract knowing full well that is the case she still signed something agreeing to their terms and that can be upheld in court. I will also add that she is a well known performer in NOLA and she had to have the contract adjusted because it states that she cannot perform without it being contracted through the studio. They also have a clause in there that entitles them to a cetrain percentage of her payment.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I am really shocked that they have instructors who have signed this.
But also as one person on FB stated, imagine if this was a contract that a guy gave to you before you started dating. At least you knew up front to run as far and as fast as you could.

Yes, salicylic acid. It is great for ingrowns as it forces turnover of the skin. Many of the adult acne creams/gels hav this in it and are quite less $$ than ingorwn treatments.
-
I think this is the reason I went with the gel also. Typically the creams have ingredients that are not pole friendly.
-
I do not beleive that she can even state the 250 mile radius as that imposes on interstate commerce. By stating that she is encompasing all of Louisiana, part of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and part of Texas. She cannot tell you that you cannot work in another state.
I know I pointed you to these threads last night but I am posting for others that may have a similar question:

I don't think I have ever used cream so I cannot compare.

Sarah, it is so good to see you here! If you have not seen this one, here is another thread about you (there are actually quite a few here): https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4fb44999-d384-4a5e-bd17-5f800ac37250
I remember when your videos first appeared and the buzz you created. I love that every 6 months or so people are asking about you, here or on facebook, wanting to know if you are still poling. I know it sounds kind of creepy but you are a unique talent and really impacted pole with your style and I am happy to hear that you are still in the game.

NOW foods makes a 10% gel. I get it from Swanson vitamins: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/now-foods-arnica-cooling-relief-gel-2-fl-oz-gel

How long have you been poling and how often are you poling? Bruising gets better with time. I am 5 years in and no longer bruise 98% of the time. Arnica gel (10% or better) is my savior for those times when I think I am going to bruise…I put this on and it never coems to the surface. There are also tablets that you can take but I have never used them.
