https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4ec02973-3eb8-4452-aceb-7b0c0ac37250 – How does that work in a studio that has instructors that are not certified? Because there are plenty out there..
Do you have any idea how many studios don't have the right insurance? I also know so many instructors that do not carry their own insurance. Yeah, you can get away with it but really, if something happens you are totally screwed.
This is probably the best insurance out there as it is designed for pole dancing. They will insure you even if you do not have any certifications, however your premium will be much higher. I believe that they do require CPR. http://insurance4poledancers.com/i4pd/

MadisonsWorld, there has been a lot of discussion about this over the years and even just instructing. Empyrean is probably the utmost expert I know when it comes to these matters. If it has anything to do with the business aspect of pole she is your resource.
On a side note, there really is no money in being an instructor. Ask any of the ladies here who do.

what is wrong with the mio enhancers?
I do not have an issue with them. Some do since they have both coloring agents and fake sugar.

This is the email that I am talking about: Cold Water = CANCER
Drinking cold water after meal = Cancer!
(this is not a joke)For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this "sludge" reacted with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
BTW, Dr. Hiromi suggested not drinking while eating because he believed that it would dilute digestive enzymes.
-
No, drinking liquids while eating has no effect. The email that has been circulating for the last several years is not based on any science whatsoever.

Moving!!! RTP baby!
Gotta get through my husband's surgery and then I will be blasting my resume down there. Been keeping an eye on Work the Triangle for the last few months though already. Hoping by June.
And I will be kind of restarting pole so you will not be alone!

Yup yup yup yup. I don't think I have done anything pole related since late November/early December and before that it was sporadic due to injury. Winter is the worst for me and working out at home I know for a fact will not happen. I have gotten back into taking Zumba 3-4 days a week and it is super close to my house. Even the thought of driving across town in snow to go pole leaves a sour taste in my mouth…so completely un motivated.
@Reyn- did you go to HOH? I cannot wait to get down there and start taking classes. I am also looking into taking some stuff at Cirque DeVol.

I had left a message on one of your posts but did not hear back from you. I am sending you a message through here.

Try rolling your knees toward one another…you want to try to get your knee caps to touch. If you stand up, bend your knees a little and try it. You will find out that you do not need anything crossed to stay on the pole.

I know some of you will scream at this, but I seriously love love love the Mio liquid water enhancers. They have a Mio Energy black cherry that is amazing.
It is funny because when I am at home all I drink is water or coffee. It is when I am at work that I have to force myself to drink stuff. During the winter I am a huge mint tea or ginger tea kinda person.
Also, this is a good quote:
Well, here’s the good news for coffee and tea lovers – it turns out that, for the most part, this simply isn’t true. A review¹on the topic, which summarized numerous studies on the subject conducted over nearly 40 years, reported that taking in a large amount of caffeine at one time (around 300 mg, or what you’d get in 2-3 cups of strong coffee – and not an amount you’d drink all at once) can promote urination, but only in people who haven’t had any caffeine for weeks. And those who are habitual caffeine consumers develop a tolerance to the diuretic effects – much like they develop a tolerance to the stimulating effects. The report also stated that “doses of caffeine equivalent to the amount normally found in standard servings of tea, coffee and carbonated soft drinks appear to have no diuretic action”. So there you go; caffeinated beverages definitely “count” when it comes to meeting fluid needs.
Actually, all beverages can contribute to your fluid requirement – like coffee, tea, fruit juice, broth, vegetable juice, sports drinks and low fat milk – since they’re primarily water. So if, like my client, you just can’t face drinking water, these “water alternatives” still count."
Here is the abstract of teh study that was quoted: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19774754

Ladies, before ordering might I suggest calling bowling alleys around you can seeing if they carry Columbia Non-Slip grip cream. It sounds as if the new formula of itac is similar to this now, and when you are talking less than $5 vs $20 it is worth checking out. This stuff has a light minty smell and works just like itac but is very thin vs the old style itac, which makes me think it is like this new stuff you have gotten.

I have such a high regard for Michelle. Go for it.

So, um, yeah, I did a Zumba toning class tinight. Not sure any of you ahve done one of those but you have a choice of 1 or 2.5 lb weights. I did the class with 1s before and did not feel much…the 2.5s kicked my butt!! Needless to say, I do not see any pole hold in my future for tonight.
-
Oh, and there was a contest in 2010, too, because that was the year my girlfriend won.
-
All I know is that there is some guy called Warren Gamble who has started a facebook page, trademarked the product and says he discovered it, but that was all done in March 2012. We all know that Itac has been around for a much longer time and that Peter was the guy. So I really have no idea what all happened. I don't know if Peter and this guy were business partners and the partnership went south or what.
Trademark application: http://www.trademarkify.com.au/trademark/1478873?i=ITAC2-Warren_Gamble#.UOs7dqyACjc
According to this Itac joined facebook in 2012: http://www.facebook.com/ITac2PoleDanceGrip\
However they were around much before that and had a street pole competition in 2011 : https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4ef0e5a0-3524-4690-83c8-31d30ac37250

So, yeah, um, I did nothing this past weekend but watch the stuff for days 2 & 3. Plan on doing day 3 when I get home from Zumba tonight. I will already be warm so I will skip the basic warm up.

You should have no problem with your ceiling.

Leggings and a shirt that is not loose and preferably one that covers your apper arms. I usually wear tight capris. Silk burns are nothing to laugh at.
-
As Pantera says "Body vs pole….pole wins"
-
I heard through the grapvine that there has been some drama over on the itac homefront. It sounds as if this stuff has become more like the bowling grip than the originaly itac.

I want to say that the T might be a Becca Butcher hold for doing flag (although she calls it a T wrap)

I have not heard of any of the others.

He can start off just wearing gym shorts. While I have seen quite a few guys able to wear jeans on the pole it is mainly because they are effing incredible (can you say jade in jeans? ugh!)
-
Sorry, that was aimed at Ly Kieu Le.

I just looked at your photos…I notice that most of your pics show you with your left leg forward in your splits; how is your right leg forward splits? I know you look super flexy but you also look like you have a shorter waist (which is a killer for allegra). If you have hyper flexibility on your left that may be the reason you can do this move on one side and not the other (I assume that when you say :from your right" you mean that you are going up with the pole on your right and then hooking the left leg).
