I'm not sure what you mean by " I'm just having a hard time making sure that the dome is flat on the ceiling while I'm adjusting it for height. I have tried to get it very close and then lift from the bottom in hopes that I will get the dome flat "
What we do is, set the pole in place, tighten to where it won't slip but not completely tight so that we can adjust it, then use the level to check how straight it is. If we need to adjust according to the level, we gently nudge it and/or loosen just enough to be able to make adjustment.
I don't know if others do the same, hopefully someone will respond.

I have a boy band probably not many will be familiar with, but will be fun putting something together to it. It's old school to the days before I was married over 34 years ago.

Love the studioveena buttons, I got a pgk for LA pole convention and it was fun wearning and meeting other veneers. A couple of people even asked me about the button and was able to provide information about this wonderful site.

It took just a couple of days, which was nice. You'll love the pole, make sure to give it time to get used to. Even titan gold needs to be cleaned of the manufacture film. Poling and learning new things in the beginning can be painful no matter what the finish, it goes away and gets better when move/hold/trick is learned. But then starts over with new things. It's worth it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Agh, the decision for size and finish is always difficult for some. The 50mm was standard when I started, and I used it for couple of years. Then tried 45mm at a studio and loved it. I then struggled with staying with titan gold or going to chrome. Like I said, now I have 45 in chrome and titan gold LOL Now I wonder about the 40mm, but as long as I haven't tried one, I'm okay with 45mm. I think I'd be afraid of thigh grip and leg grip moves on 40mm, that's just me. Wish I could give input about it for you, hopefully others will. Keep in touch with what you get.

Everyone has different opinions, but I personally love my xpoles. I've had a 50mm titan gold, I now have a 45mm chrome & 45mm titan gold. I switch between the two depending on weather but not that often. You can't beat the free shipping from sv! I got my 45mm titan gold from here and great service. Are you considering the stationary or static/spin pole?

Oh my gosh, if anyone has the opportunity to attend a pole convention, DO! It was so awesome, had an absoulte blast. It's so hard for me to give details as it was jam packed with people to meet, pros to take pictures with, shopping at the vendors booths (OMG the shopping LOL), the various showcases, performances and the Saturday night showcase, not to mention the after party!!! Got to meet a few veneers which was great. Will post pics soon, some pics proudly wearing studioveena buttons!!!! I even got asked about the button a couple of times and gave the site information, yay 🙂
MalciousMynx was able to set up a pole jam at whatup's place and I got to join. Thank you MalciousMynx for getting that set up and THANK YOU whatup for having us.

Is it short hair?? I may have been in the convention registration line in front of you Friday, hmmm My friend asked how you get your hair bold purple, was that you????
-
I walked around all day today, Friday, with my studioveena button, but it's hard because everyone, including myself, is looking around all everything that's going on and looking for pole celebreties. MalciousMynx and I are here, I wish we could meet all veneers who are here to say hi and take pics. I was actually at the Lou Landers Polesations class also. I hate to say this, but I ended up leaving after the warm-up, so if any of you saw, that was ME!
I will private message those of you who posted here that you are at convention.

pegasus, are you going to the Saturday night after show party?
-
I hope we can meet, pegasus!!!! I'll be here and going to the performance on Sunday afternoon. Is there a studio or group name I should look for??? I don't have a fancy phone LOL to check emails or anything online, I do all that when we I'm in the room on my laptop. I'm soo behind technology 🙂

Pole Convention is still in beginning state; today and Friday most here are taking some certification classes. Tonight some, including MalciousMynx, Bel from Twirly Girls-Pleasanton, CA, and myself are going to International Pole Masters Cup competition. Convention really kicks off Friday. We are spotting pros, competitors and performers all over and meeting great people!.
Today I went to The Pole Choreography House for two classes and had a blast. Yesterday, MalciousMynx and I went to pole jam at Whatup's house, what FUN!!! Will post pics and videos as soon as I get a chance to edit and upload.
Hopefully others will post updates soon!

I did not fracture a rib, but did pull a muslce so badly in rib cage. I did it attempting to invert improperly (not taught correctly when I first started poling). It hurt so freakin' bad I was certain I fractured rib. It took couple of months to totally heal, I was not able to do a lot of things like cough, sneeze, movie without being careful, breathe, ESPECIALLY pole. After few weeks I did attempt a pole class and found out quickly, it wasn't gonna happen.
Take time to rest and let it heal. You'll be back before you know it 🙂

Yup, a few of us joined in sv chat Friday evening and had a pole jam. Some poled and others visited, it's all fun. And it doesn't have to be on Fridays, can make arrangements to meet up there anytime https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I've been to a competition and it was wonderful when showing appreciation by clapping and an occasional "nice" "amazing" "pretty", etc. within the audience. It was so enjoyable to focus on the performances and not the screaming and squaking. We also went to an air show performance that was again enjoyable and respectful, while showing appreciation for the performers.
I struggle with the videos of performances that I watch, and agree wtih tarah, the ones with screaming, etc are not enjoyable to watch. It seems to be a group of a few because the rest of the audience in the videos seem to be enjoying the performance. But that group of few can be distracting, um…are distracting. You are not the only one, LillyBilly.

Agh, didn't see this before I posted Happy Birthday! Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are such a big part of my life and know others as well.

No shame in wanting to change pole size. I started few years ago with a Lil Mynx because that's all I knew about. It was fine till I began to get more involved with pole and it wasn't working for me anymore. After two years I got a 50mm titan gold x pole and loved it. Then tried a 45mm at a studio and "loved" it. So after about a year got a 45mm chrome xpert, I was so used to titan gold I struggled on the chrome, so within few months got my 45mm titan gold xpert LOL I sold my 50mm and still have my two 45's. Actually, the chrome is up now. Depending on weather I think will determine which one I use.
And I'm not even as advance or experienced as others, but needed to get what works for me 🙂 I think we've all been there.

Hurt like a son-of-a-gun when I began working on it. Not at first because I was doing baby steps for a long time. But when finally realized at a workshop that I was able to do it and had confidence at home, yet a lot of pain. Went away and stopped hurting.
-
I'm not as advanced/expierenced as others; however, I love the veena grip for shoulder mount, actually I love it for super shoulder invert and have begun practicing going into gremini from it. I definitely a lot more secure in this grip in comparison the cupped grip.

No, from my desktop and laptop at home. Also uploaded a very short video last night, showed upload complete, processed and everything, as of now does not show on sv 🙁 Probably just technical difficulties?
-
I liked it, too. It is encouraging to see the wide age variety and how we relate to each other no matter what the difference. I also found that I wasn't asking myself "what the heck am I doing at my age" with all the support and encouragement. Weirdly, this is what makes me feel empowered and good about myself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Just watched the video, you are amazing!!!! How long have you been poling? Hope you post more here and you don't need to be shy about it, you are very talented.

I don't know where you are located, however, I've purchased directly from xpole and also from veena's site. There was absolutely no difference in the time it took to receive. When I got mine from her, shipping was $20, can't beat the free shipping offered now 🙂 congrats on getting your first pole!
-
Should there be a link for the video? 🙂 Even though I've tabled the sm flip for now and maybe for looooong time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
