I think “order before July” meant July 2013 when the new model came out.
-
One of my students was just asking about buying one. She’s not on Veena, but I can ask her!
-
Ugh. So jealous. I can’t make it this year!! :/ And last year didn’t work out so well for me either!
-
Legs4Days- The heels look like they have a metal rod going through them if you look at it closely. I would consider that pretty reinforced! Those would work for pole, though most people like a higher platform. I know that is the style fitness models typically choose.

Also interested…
-
She moved to Vegas a few months ago…My guess is sold or taken with her?
-
I would probably buy it. From PS website: “The pole also comes with both spinning and static stationary functions and it breaks down into two pieces for easy portability.” so it’s probably easy to take the pole out. I would just make sure you check it out before you commit cause 350 is a lot of money! Are you committed to a stage pole? Bc there are cheaper but still safe poles.
-
These are actually pretty good poles. I think they don’t get attention because it doesn’t break down to easily portable pieces.

My xpole was named “Kittens Explorer” as suggested by a random screen name generator. My PS went nameless (it got renamed several times and it was hard to keep track). My Lil Mynx is “Buttons”. My car is “fishpuddles”

I have danced on all of them. I have owned stainless and chrome. The thing that I love about stainless, compared to other metals- it’s near impossible to destroy the surface–small scratches, but thats it. Chrome/TG plating can chip off. Brass smells funky after use and requires special cleaning with Brasso. It can oxidize and turn colors a little bit. Powder coated has special cleaning requirements. I like that I can clean my stainless with whatever cleaning product i can think of and not damage it.
Chrome and stainless feel very similar to me. If you’re going to compete, or go to conventions, poles there are usually either chrome or ss.

I had a 50 for almost 6 years– switched to a 45 two years ago and never looked back! It’s amazing how much of a difference 5mm can make!!! Totally worth it.
It makes sense if you think about the calculation for circumference. pi*d== 5mm*3.14=1.57 cm. Which is actually a big enough difference to change grip. -
@polegirl- I love Janeiro into Rainbow marchenko. I’ll never be able to do it, but it’s one graceful way to get out of it! Can’t find a good video of it right now.
-
I am always super sore and fatigued the following day when working on back flexibility. Also usually super irritable as a result! I get really frustrated with how it makes me feel. :/ I have no advice and not sure about the lyme…but you’re not alone!

Broken rib… Eating chocolate and watching youtube!

Me. I am an awesome teacher in Cleveland OH! (at least I like to think so) 🙂 I teach on Sundays and Thursdays. When are you coming up?
Chemmie- back me up! -
Charley- It hurts my feelings that you don’t want to be my friend.
-
@Vanillary- You’re not the only person who feels that way about Alethea!
-
OMG I can’t edit. I can’t believe i just typed “you’re” instead of “your.” This is going to bother me for the rest of the night.
-
Ha. I feel you’re pain. I’m the most awkwardly shaped human for pole (my arms are too short, my torso is super long, my boobs, butt, and thighs get in the way… Chemmie can attest to it!) Before pole I could barely touch my toes. It takes me 6 months at least to learn a new move. All of these things makes me appreciate it even more. The fact that I finally got my middle splits after almost a decade of working on it was almost as proud of a moment as getting into medical school! It took me 2 years to get superwoman, but when I finally got it I was ecstatic.
Additionally, if you ever want to teach, you will be amazing at it! You will know every way to fail at a move and how to correct it! 🙂 While it’s fun teaching people who are naturally awesome, it’s way more rewarding and enjoyable to teach a struggling student who works hard and finally gets a new move! -
45 brass are known to be super flexy. The metal is just more pliable. Don’t be super surprised if there is a little bowing after a while. Anything taller than 10ft I would feel more comfortable if it was reinforced with something or was a 50.

I would rather pay up expensive prices for a private than $60 for a workshop. In workshops, you’re taught 4-5 ‘signature’ moves or combos and it’s tailored to the level of the rest of the class (which is usually either way too high or too low for my experience level). I don’t like to take workshops with people who are just amazing at pole; I will only take lessons with people who have a reputation for good teaching (Estee Zakar, Aerial Amy*, Phoenix Kazree, David Owen are my all time favs). I have been let down by some polefessional workshops I’ve taken where the instructor knows nothing about physiology/kineseiology and uses some pretty unsafe teaching techniques. (don’t want to mention names to start drama) A lot of excellent dancers who are just naturally awesome/flexible/strong are terrible at breaking down moves into simple explanations or troubleshooting what you’re doing incorrectly because there was never a time when it was a challenging move for them.
*Star by Aerial Amy because she is my total pole crush and I would have 1000 of her pole babies…or puppies. -
Ha! The latter was my first thought!
-
Um… How do you get out of that? She looks stuck. Otherwise, so pretty.
-
I hate to say it, but to me it seems like the more boring the shoe, the sturdier. A lot of these dancer shoes really weren’t meant to pole in and thin straps break easily… My best luck has been with Pleasers of the Adore 708/709 variety. I don’t wear Ellies so I can’t give a good review on that brand.
