but I gotta say I am considered somewhat begginner
actually, the only real requirements you need for the workshops are good basic spins and climb. but yeah, it is about and hour and 20 drive from westerly, so unless you have time to kill, that could be a problem. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

oh, and by the way — if you’re in Westerly around july 9 and 10 still, Fleur (Amber Richard) is holding workshops at our studio

Nice web page!
(blusing) awww thank you ! i am co-owner of the girl spot. my partner’s daughter did the website for us….
woudl LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you at one of our classes while you’re in CT https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I feel it isn’t safe to have my little Fluffy and Whiskers hanging around playing with their ball of wool. …LOL.
ok, now if i take that statement out of context i could really make some rude jokes !!! heh heh heh….
-
yeah, well even though the little fur balls would be in danger around me, i guess i should just be happy i have to hem jeans alla time ! and get this : freakin petites are TOO SHORT !!!! go figure ……

omg i would kill kittens to be 5’8 !!!!! i am only 5′ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

whaaaaa ? 1 per pole not safe ??? personally i don’t agree. in my studio we have 8 poles. 99 percent of the time our classes are 1 per pole, or less (occasionally we have a couple poles with 2 on them). so far, it has not presented any problems.
of course, no one in our classes is at an advanced level — we have only 1 or 2 students (with solid gymnastics backgrounds) who have the form and strength to properly do a simple invert. once we get more who are able, we will definitely keep the class size smaller. in addition to my instructor, i am always on hand during classes anyway, so we always have 2 sets of eyes on the students. this will continue thru all levels.
do you remember where you read that? i’d like a look myself…. -
hi there ! where in RI are you ? i am next door in CT

52 here and LOVING this thread !!! and LOVING pole, tho i do wish i’d discovered it earlier in life…. ah well, everything always works out the way it is supposed to !
-
what is the vibe of the studio?
that is a great point, and IMO it applies to pretty much anywhere you plan to ‘spend your money’, whether it is a pole studio or a grocery store !
-
heck having a restroom in the place is a plus let alone a shower
LOL ! at least we lucked out with that and have a fairly nice bathroom right in our space.
-
Nowhere seems to have these though: changing room with lockers and showers (polers work up a sweat and some have to travel a long way home), adequate stretching/warmup/hanging out space for before and after classes
the studio owner’s DREAM ! i would love to have a shower on premises !!!! starting up a ‘brick and mortar’ studio is kind of expensive, so our priority was to secure a pretty reasonable space, with a pretty reasonable monthly rent, in a safe and pleasant area, which took priority over some of the nicer amenities. we also originally planned to remove an existing drop celing so we could go to 12′ on our poles, but the landlord panicked after we removed the ceiling and insisted we put it back. we gained just over 9 feet for the poles, but still not ideal. did my space match my vision exactly ? no. is it workable until such time as we may grow? yup
so, space aside, even more important to us is the learning environment we offer our students. SAFETY first, followed by tons of encouragement, compassion and understanding.

led zeppelin has some interesting stuff from the 60s and 70s… depends on what sort of ‘feel’ you are going for… some of the zeppelin stuff would be great for slinky /sexy /sensuous…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

@JayJay thanks for suggesting our FB page…you rock!
….awwww shucks…
blushing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
omg you’re site doesn’t mention these, i check it every week. i would have been heart broken if i found out i missed either of them, as soon as i can get the money i am so there. (i’m gonna be in so much trouble, two workshops and a jam, in less than 1 month…oh well)
not for nuthn — i have a studio and website too, and it’s danged hard to keep the site as up to the minute as i’d like it to be, so we Facebook ALL of our updates. so…. if you keep an eye on FB for your favorite studios, i’ll bet you find em. I know Curvy Diva is on, cuz we are friends.

Joel Lessing blames a gremlin he calls the "move-stealer"! I have adopted this fiction for convenience sake and it works for me
now who on earth would steal a move from that angel joel ????
harrumph !

You’ve done it once you can do it again!!
i HOPE so ! i have a thing i learned a long time ago from dance classes and working on multiple turns: once is luck, twice is coincidence, three times is skill.
i guess i’m still at coincidence with it !
now shoulder mount on the other hand — for some reason that is easier for me. even pulling into invert from it doesn’t give me a problem.
fascinates me how we are all different with what we ‘get’ and can’t ‘get’

I would be most interested in a pole jam… And about Amber Richards, when and where will she be and when? I would love to find out that info as well.. And It looks to me like there is enough for a jam, put me down for 1 I would love the oppertunity to be with other members. Oh, and could someone let me know about the whole Amber Richards thing. That would be great. I would like to go to that as well, if there was enough space
My studio, The Girl Spot, in Trumbull CT will be hosting Amber Richard’s workshops on Friday evening July 9th, and Saturday morning, July 10th. Pricing will be finalized shortly, and I will be sure to post all info both at our website, http://www.thegirlspotct.com, and here. The jam would follow the Saturday workshops. Feel free to shout out any questions.
cheers,
