    Have you thought about Detroit at all with Charley, Shadow and Detroit Fly House?

    Are you aware that you can skype train with some of the big names?  You have the skills, you just need the polish.  I think I still have your cell if it has not changed.  Let me find out some contacts.  Did you know that Jade and Alethea are now buddies?  Alethea just moved to the same place Jade did and they have been hanging out together.  Not sure if you are still in contact with her but there is an opportunity.  Both Alethea and Zoraya offer packages to come and live and train with them, as do some others.  You need to know what style you are trying to go for and then find where you need to go.

    I also understand that PoleLaTeaz closed but 2 of the instructors supposedly were reopening it.

    Vertical Joes for booty popping.  You probably want to hook up with Skittles if she is still there.

    There are a few of us that are trying to get a hold of this video.  I even have a few people reaching out to SFL herself.

    Also, there are showcases that routinely happen in Cleveland and Columbus plus the big show in Detroit in March.  These would be close and give you an idea of how showcases and competitions are set up and are in locations that are cheaper to visit than NYC.  Look up Infinity Aerial, Cleveland Exotic Dance on facebook and https://www.studioveena.com/events/view/Michigan_Dance__Air_Festival_322324_1353811010.

     

    It is a really good idea to get some experience performing in front of people before starting to compete and local showcases are perfect opportunities!

    There is another member here from that area.  There are a LOT of good threads here about competing or performing.  Take a look around….we have people who have probably enetered every single competition floating around!

    And if this is the Polesque I am thinking of (New York), it is more a performance/burlesque style competition.  There are videos all over youtube that will show you what to expect.

    It would help us if you could tell us where you are located.  There are members on this site from all over the world.

    beginner2, I was not worried nor did I ever believe that.  The text was added because GiedreB did not know what I was referencing earlier in the conversation.

    It is the same with a bracket hold…the bottom hand should not be bearing ANY weight.  You should essentially be hanging all of your weight off your top arm and just using that bottom hand to push you away from the pole.  Pantherchild, try not wrapping your fingers around the pole, either in fingers down or fingers up.

    If you cannot do a one handed fireman you should not be doing this move.  The bottom hand should NOT grip the pole AT ALL; it should only be placed in position to give you distance from the pole as you are spinning.  It is too easy to want to grip and overtorque your arm.

    Veena has lots of lessons for the carousel, they are in the intermediate section.

    Due to my tight shoulders I cannot get myself far enough away from the pole to do an ayesha in forearm grip; I really need the additional distance that the elbow grip gives me.

     

    There are also a few cool upright moves with elbow grip.
