Sorry, I’ve sold them all 🙁

^ it does take a lot of hamstring flexibility though! 🙂 and though you may not notice, you do use your core for balance.
Also, I can only lift if I DON’T hold onto the base of the pole. I know a lot of ladies learn headstsnds grabbing the pole. So make sure to try it NEAR the pole or a wall, not holding it!

Of course not ma'am! They are sitting on my desk waiting for you 🙂
P.S. they are now all gone as gingercake points out. Thanks so much everyone for making a really sad scheduling problem a little better! I hope you enjoy the tickets and have a drink for me 🙂

Yes ma'am I have two tickets left for you. Sending you a message now!

Hi! I still have TWO tickets left next to each other.
Thank you to everyone who has emailed me already!

PLEASE don't sand your pole!!!!!! especially not with a "low grade" sandpaper … the numbers on sandpaper work so that the lower the number, the more abrasive. something like 80 grit sandpaper practically has jagged rocks on it.
I totally understand your frustration though. I had one slippery pole and sold it. I was ready to throw it out the window or maybe bash it with a crowbar. I replaced it with a TG xpole and $400 later the damn thing was still slippery. what saved the day was discovering Itac. I LOVE the stuff. I put a thin layer on my hands and grab the pole all over. It only takes a tiny bit — not even enough to see — and by the time it rubs off, your pole is warm! I used to hate the idea of grip aids, but I would sing my love for itac from the rooftops!

another vote for foam roller lessons here. i just bought one at home but i mostly use it to stretch oversplits … so a very expensive yoga block. lol! i need some motivation!

Not sure how to fix it, but my pole studio has the same weird resistance/clicking on all of their poles on spin mode. Can't say I notice it once I get going through…

you can caterpillar climb infinitely if you want … each time you reach the invert position (including the first time), slide down until your head is about a foot off the ground, THEN caterpillar up. once you're secure, then slide down and repeat. you may find that sliding down can be kind of fun. 🙂 i don't have this problem at home, but i practice at a studio with very short poles!

I don't know how to link to it … but Marlo has a video of her winning performance on her Facebook page. Amazing!!

sheesh! too bad about the stud finder. to be honest, i own 3 (two electronic and one magnetic) and i actually had the same problem in my current apartment for the first time ever. luckily i was able to visually find the seams in the ceiling. glad you got it up!!
-
^ what she said. don't worry about the joist on the floor — as long as you know where the ceiling joist is, you're good to go!
in the future, if you like, you can find the ceiling joist yourself by buying an electronic stud finder — they are about $20 and really simple to use. (great for hanging mirrors, towel bars, etc. as well…)

oops! I meant to say I signed up for 1:00pm. hehe.
i know what you mean … i'm doing jenyne's workshop and then alethea's. then, the next day i'm doing two more. not sure if i'll pull through! you probably have the right idea spacing them out if you can. hope i'll still get to meet everyone though 🙂

I did it for 3 years. That's where I fell in love with pole dancing. But, I usually went on stage only 2x a night for 10 min each. The rest of the time I gave lapdances and champagne rooms, and TALKED to customers to get them there. At least in the clubs I worked at, stripping is just about talking to people. You talk them into everything. Then once you get there you talk to them so you don't have to dance as much. I got so sick of it after a while I might as well have been selling real estate.
I can't offer any advice on the military … but please be careful dancing in a foreign country. Strip clubs overseas can be extremely different than those in the U.S. I would check out stripperweb.com and do your research first.
