From my understanding there is a special license you can get for competitions.

I am on my phone or I would link posts. There has been quite a lot of discussion here on the forum regarding this. If you search music licensing or opening a studio you should get quite a few hits.

There are several/. The one I know the most about is Polefit Carolinas: http://polefitcarolinas.com/qa/. There are several more:
http://afvexoticarts.com/
http://sassygirlfit.com/index.php
http://www.innerdivafitness.com/I know nothing about any of these and some of the other sites I saw seemed just to cater to bachelorette parties.

The only place I know that does this is Everything Pole Dancing out of the UK: http://www.everythingpoledancing.com/product/gripsample

I just watched the video for it. Sounds very much like a mini retreat combined with their classes. I can guarantee you that you will walk out a completely different person than when you walked in and do not be surprised to see women crying or that you yourself break down in tears.

Which workshop? I started out as an at home girl with the S Factor videos as that was the only thing out there at the time. S is wonderful for getting in touch with your inner sexy and learning flow. The last time I was at a studio I had some issues with some moves that they were teaching beginners but that is my biggest beef.

I remember the first time seeing Sarah Cretul do a dead lift handspring from way up on the pole and I was just in AWE. Semi-recently was Samantha Star Cuomo and her crazy hand/pole balancing stuff. My sister just posted this to her wall the other day….this is what happens when you take a retired gymnast and introduce her to pole (I am not sure if that is the case but she has crazy skills): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InmUGJfa_fg&list=PLR-3_cfPPB2jI54GBVYBNSBejVfYLc538&index=23
I guess any deadlifty stuff just amazes me.

I really think this is what makes the Midwest such an angsty place to live…..there is great burlesque and music and just all sorts of creative fun stuff that I do not see here in Raleigh.
Sapphy, I know that Maria also struggles with this. What really helped me was getting a tanning package to get me through the winter (and then we bought our own tanning bed). Usually by February John and I were at each others throats and it really helped a TON. A cheap alternative to the high price lamps is to replace a few bulbs with reptile lights in the areas where you are a lot. I HATE that it gets dark so early now and I have been going to be by 9:30-10:00 lately. During the summer my typical bed time is 11-12.
Now I feel it more so when we have a few days of clouds in a row (not often). It is amazing how much the sun affects my mood.

Did you put the pole in spin mode? You need to unscrew the 2 Allen’s that shift the pole from spin to static in order to remove the base.

Cleveland Exotic Dance, Be Studios and Expressions Fitness all have showcases throughout the year. I know the owners of all 3 studios so if you need contact info I can help you out. I know that Infinity in Columbus also has showcases at least 3 times a year, and again, know the owner. There is another member here names SashaMae that is in Toledo. She may know of other showcases near you.
March is The Arnold in Columbus and they now have a competition so there are lots of events that happen that weekend. I am pretty sure Val from Infinity is planning a showcase that weekend.
Charley is also now hosting an event called Secret Sircus which is a pole dance cabaret….a chance to perform without competing. http://secretsircus.webs.com/
Last but not least, Cleveland Exotic works with a lot of the burlesque troupes in the Cleveland area and has performance opportunities. Some of them are fetish shows, just so you know, but are great opportunities to get on stage in front of an audience. You may want to see if there are any burlesque troupes in your area that have a stage pole or are looking for performers.

I personally would not trust it to be safe with a dent like that nor a crack, but that is me. Sorry this happened to you!
-
8 foot ceilings will work until you start inverting. Shorter students will be ok but taller ones will have problems.
-
Also, charley does competition prep. She has competed and knows what the judges look for. She does skype and personal lessons. I would HIGHLY recommend talking to her.
-
I would not suggest competing until you have done a few showcases just because they are really good for getting your stage presence tightened up. I think Mary Ellyn also had a presentational this past year where you could perform and be judged but there were no prises. It was all to get judges feedback.
-
I would get your feet wet with performing at Detroit Aerial showcase. There is also a competition that is Theatrics and Artistry that same weekend. Charley Crystal is the contact person. Cleveland has quite a few showcases as does Columbus. Midwest would be your next best bet and they have everything from amateur to pro. Detroit is typically in late March and Midwest I believe is in July of next year.

So I just a wanna know if the new house has a hot tub!
I am a person that needs to have at least one article on. I feel completely vulnerable being totally naked in public. I am not really sure where that comes from but it is how I am. Now that article can be just a belt or my shoes but I always leave *something* on.
-
What is the reason that you want one? I think that is the most important question. It will increase the diameter of your pole quite a bit and you are unable to do spins with it.
Here are a few threads about them. AerialGypsy has a link to a blog post regarding hers at the end of the first link I have here.

I just cannot see the price. I have also recently gotten the chance to play on one at Midwest. I personally was not super impressed.

Hazlenut, you are lucky that you can use the stuff from work. Ethanol here is “controlled” so you ahve to log how much you take and for what purpose.
-
Yep! It is considered a subscription and will automatically renew (charge your card) until you end the subscription.
-
I want to say both Midwest and Detroit showcase have little comps but nothing along the lines of the big pole competitions.

Hopefully some of these threads may help you out:

Happy Poling!

To the best of my understanding XPole and Platinum Stages are now one in the same! I hate to say this but I personally would hold off if you can to see what comes out of this merger/buy out. I see great poles being designed in the near future!

When my shoulders act up I get in to see a massage therapist that specializes in deep tissue. Since I have been poling I have tried to get in at minimum every 6 weeks. My shoulders get so kinked up it is the only way I have any relief. You will find that many polers either get in for massage or chiro treatments routinely.

I have seen the plans for the stage poles (trust me, I looked into all of that prior to me buying a pole myself) and after having been on a few home made poles you are really better off with an attached one. Most of the stage pole designs on the web are made to be dance poles, not acrobatic poles. Also it is really hard to make the pole not move around a lot. XPoles and SSA’s actually lock into place. There is no easy way to do that with a home made stage pole. This company has the best prices for brass pole kits and I know of a few people that have used this set up (mostly clubs). http://www.markstaar.com/Brass-Dance-Pole-Kits/
This company has both brass and stainless pipe and the flanges that you would need: http://www.kegworks.com/bar-decor-furniture/dancer-poles
I know these are both US companies but you can get an idea of the parts that you need in order to build a decent one yourself.This place has the same kits but their prices look lower: http://www.crowdcontrolstore.com/dancefitnesspolekit.aspx
