1. I love my legs
2. I think I have a pretty nice butt
3. I can rock out a wife beater
1. My ability to flag pretty effortlessly amazes me
2. I am proud that I have stuck with it this long
3. I love the friends I have made because of pole. The community is truly amazing and I am reminded of that daily.

What do you mean by "swinging around the pole"? It has been proven time and time again that dynamic warm ups are superior when doing strength type workouts. So depending on how you were swinging around the pole may have been her warm up.
-
Any time your body is away from the pole you are going to slow down, this is simple physics. Many of the moves you have listed move your body away from the pole. On top of that if these moves are not spot on perfect where you are using momentum to get into them you are disrupting the energy in the pole. If you create any sort of wobble you are taking the perfect concentric spin that the pole is used to. If you notice in most performances polers do not shoulder mount aerially, they will typically use the mount that you would use for a spinning chopper.

What is the combo?

I will also say that the experience of being in a place with all of the pole energy alone is worth it. I had more fun hanging out at the bar and getting to know people than being in a workshop with them.
Just my 2 cents.

My take on workshops that happen ANYWHERE:
Do not go in thinking you are going to learn all this new stuff and be able to do it. What I get out of workshops is watching and taking in how to do the moves for the future. I also learn all sorts of new ways to warm up my body. Be honest with your abilities and do not go into workshops that are above your capability. If it states that you need to be able to climb and sit and invert then make sure you can do these CONSISTENTLY. There will almost always be 2-3 people per pole. Do not think you are going to get more than 5 minutes of individual attention. Realize that there will be instructor hogs; some instructors are good about keeping them in place, some are not. Realize that there may be some unsafe teaching (sadly, yes this does happen). Lastly, are you taking the workshop just because this person is your idol?
I hate to say this, but I probably got more out of the $5 bendability workshop than I got out of the 2 other workshops that I took in Detroit. I am not saying that I did not learn anything out of the other 2, I am just saying that I learned more for where I am right now in pole in the stretching workshop. And I really wish I would have taken the lapdance workshop, just for the sheer fun of it.

If it does not screw back together as it should then I would not use it. This is why we stress getting a good pole to begin. If it is gapping and flexing that is a weak point and the reality is the pole will probably break at this point if you do any aggressive move and/or spin on it.

What kind of pole? There should not be a gap of any kind at any joint.
-
Too bad you are not going to be there a few days earlier. Amy Guion is having workshops at Infinity the weekend before that.

I also wanted to note that a lady here in NE Ohio has one installed out on her patio all summer long. She has a grated wooden overhang that she attaches it to. I think she pretty much leaves it out there all summer.

My powder coat was up in my garage for 3+ years. Not only did it withstand temperature changes, but it had gotten run in to numerous times by pieces of equipment, from bikes to ducting to lawnmowers. I am adding a bunch of photos to an album about the LM I used to have. If this is the same process as the original LM's you have nothing to worry about.
