    Most business studio or not have an employee handbook with basic rules and regulations. As far as studio goes it should have basic guidelines for each level and what is to be taught (because all studios are very different) and additional types of classes given and what they require. Pretty basic information.

    This place is not for everyone. But I love it. I love the outdoors and feeling of seclusion. http://www.elcapitancanyon.com/events/

    I will say I also went with pole armour because when shopping it was clearly stated as latex free, and I am allergic to latex. I couldn’t find that information about the pole sleeve.

    I’ve never had an issue with mine bunching up or tearing while putting it on or off. However I don’t like the hassle of removing it so I have 45mm pole that it stays on.

    You said no pole 🙁 Las Vegas would have been perfect as pole expo is in September. Spas, food and entertainment! 😀 Colorado Springs is amazing but I loved the winter there more than the summer. There is always Napa Valley or Santa Barbera in California (way opposite ends of California) if you are at all wine drinkers. There are so many wonderful B&B’s as well as resorts with amazing spa services.

    I should probably become a Target shopper again (not sure why I stopped). The husband isn’t keen on me spending 30+ dollars on tops to “look cute for myself” 😀

    Thank you! I don’t think I have much flexibility in that area of my foot.

    I’ve warmed them up and they rarely cramp, but I’ve never really thought about muscle memory. I can get them to point but they Just aren’t pretty.

    May 4, 2014 at 10:12 am in reply to: Multiple types of training and Rest days

    I try to touch my pole five days a week. Whether it is 15-20 minutes of pole ups/arm lifts, some climbs, or a little dancy dance. I do a little bit of muscle toning and stretching as well as hula hoop a few times a week I would like to put in more pole and body work, but there are not enough hours in my day or energy in my body for that. If I can get one solid hour practice in a week I’m a happy camper.

    I did that video this morning as part of my wake up workout and I admit parts of it had me huffing and puffing but afterwards my hips and lower back felt great! I am always really stiff in the mornings and it helped a lot.

    Dirty girl poletice is amazing! Also excessive sweat can be a vitamin deficiency.

  • Is your pole on carpet or hard flooring? when I first saw this months ago I was like”push that looks easy with a little glam!” Yeah not really the case. When I only had a pole on carpet my feet kept getting tripped up and I couldn’t do complete rolls. I had to break it down to a count and very slowly do each positioning count by count before I was able to fully combine it. And it worked so much better on my stage pole.

    That’s awesome… I love the animals, because mine always take pole as an invitation to play.

    April 28, 2014 at 3:39 pm in reply to: Pole studio parties and alcohol

    I’ve been to both types. A studio that at private events allowed it and didn’t care of age (it is an 18 and up studio, but legal drinking age in the state is 21) and a studio that it was a no go. We held a bachelorette party and in our contract stated that we could not consume alcohol before or during studio time. There really is to much liability on the owner and instructors.

  • I have been wanting these to be available in the USA!

    @shoogstandley there’s nothing silly about vacuuming in heels! Lol I do it all the time, it gives a little added workout to the boring things in life… And embarrasses the crap out of my kids.

    Houston is hot… And humid… And did I mention hot and humid? Actually I love Texas and miss it greatly. There is the aquarium, but Austin is amazing! It a bit of a jaunt but sooo worth it. So much art, culture, music and food. And the bats might give you goosebumps but are really cool to watch.

    I agree I wouldn’t pole in a studio sick I’m enough of a germ a phobe that when I had this stomach ailment I stopped for two weeks… That stomach ailment ended up being baby #3.
