Why are you poling? Do you hope to compete one day or are you only looking to do it for yourself? Do you like static tricks or do you like spins? These are the questions you need to answer.
-
Stupidity at its finest. There is no insurance company that will cover this. There is a place in downtown Columbus that has a pole studio attached to their bar and it has I think 2 poles inside the bar.

Lizzy's ceiling was concrete and not a true tray ceiling.

I learned something new today, too. Pronouns are quite commonplace in our language. I never knew they were offensive in other languages.

I believe that LizzyLiz810 had a tray ceiling at her studio. She does not get on teh forum much but she does post videos so I know she is around. You may want to send her a message through here.

I would find out specifically what brand PoleLaTeaz has as all brass poles are not the same. It depends on what alloy they use and some will be grippier than others.
I also have a love hate with brass. I have ripped skin off from it being too grippy and I have slid to the floor and for the life of me could not grip. I also seriously dislike the odor.

She does not mean twisted grip handspring. The TG shoulder mount is the SM that Felix uses (and pretty much every Aussie that comes out of Bobbie's).
-
No she does not and I really do not see her as the type that will.

Have you had the same instructor for the entire time? Do you have another studio where you can take lessons? Do you have a pole at home? Veena lessons?
Sometimes just going to s different studio of being in front of another instructor can make a move "click". Aerial inverts are NOT easy and unless you have perfected a grounded invert there is no way you are going to be able to get it aerially. If you use any sort of momentum to invert then you really need to step back and focus on that.
Every studio has a difference of what they consider levels, but if aerial work is required for you to move on then I would not consider essentially wasting my money going into a level that you know you will not be able to do. Furthermore, if you try to do these moves without the proper foundation the chance of injuring yourself is high. So what is more important to you, saying that you are at a certian level or having proper form?

Try it. You might be amazed. At first I could only get maybe one or two hands but I have been able to to get further and further. If I remember correctly I saw Danielle and/or Lee doing it in one of their videos after they did a workshop with David Owen a few years back. I still cannot scorpion up with the pole between my legs and grab the pole though.
The other thing I have done is backbend over a stability ball. My main problem comes with my shoulders.
-
Lyme, yes, it is possible. It just takes time, patience and training. I have been surprised at how quickly my back has been responding just to pigeon pose. I do this religiously after my Zumba classes and I have gone from not being able to have my torso straight up and down to being able to.

I can also walk myself down into a back bend using the wall but I cannot lift from the ground into one.

There are aa LOT of dancers who use dubstep. I think there was even a challenge a few months back. If you go to videos, just the challenges, then scroll to December you will find lots of videos. I remember Becca Butcher dancing to dub quite a few times and one video that keeps on popping up is a Russian dancer dancing to the Zeds remix of Paradise Circus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADs04O9T0Ks
