I think the real issue was so much was cut from the show that I saw, it wasn’t what the reviewers saw at all. And the music is good, but highly repetitive. In fact there are two songs that are basically the same song with different instrumentation. Same beat, same lyrics, one is a touch faster with bells. My boyfriend and I love Cirque. We always watch the traveling shows if we can. We had seen Totem two years before and it was amazing, even from the back, so as a christmas gift he bought us tickets in the front ring (not ringside but only 3-4 rows back). And we got Amaluna… with no Luna. With very few jawdropping moments. With costumes that were gorgeous but nothing was done with the people. We felt cheated. It was advertised as a show with mostly women acts, and I’ve seen better all women acts in other shows. It’s like they just used the Cirque name and costumes and assumed that makes it a great Cirque show. It was a good show, but for the money we spent, we expected Cirque du Soleil. And this did not compare favorably to any of the shows I have seen in the past from much less expensive seats.

What swinging pole act? I saw it in December and was horribly disappointed. The static pole act was cool, but they cut the tightrope act, the irregular bars(parallel bars?) was pretty uninspired, the hooper didn’t have a costume really and the whole Lyra act was cut. Also the male act messed up a few landings and the juggling act with the girls being spun by the feet also messed up twice. I’m now racking my brain for a swinging pole act and I can’t remember one…. For all I know it was cut from my performance as well…

Ok, I have your lessons, but I’m a little bummed because to watch them on my TV I’d have to go through quite a few hoops, and I love to put things on my TV to watch as my Pole is in living room area instead of an alternate room. I have a Roku already, if there was a chance to put the lessons on a private Roku channel I would be so very very happy. It would be much more useful to me personally than having it work on ipad. (though may not be cost effective)

Just letting people know that you can sign up for a paypal account with just a credit card. That’s what I do at least and it works fine. That’s what I did for my membership.

Is it because you feel your hands slipping, or because you feel like when your legs are moving up to get the knees to the chest to push out you are holding only from your hands now? I don’t really know how to help. I know I still have problems climbing the pole using the ways everyone teaches. I can get up the pole easily, but I kind of frog my way up (hard to describe) and it’s not the way the teachers want me to do it. However, knowing that I can get up if I needed to is good to make it so I keep trying to get the actual pole climb correctly. You may find you need to adjust slightly to feel secure when you move your legs, so you don’t worry about falling off the pole.

@ Webjunk,
I agree but for a different reason. Not having homework is normal because most studio’s assume that you don’t have a pole at home. As for once a week classes, if there is constant rehashing of the material, you should possibly talk to the teacher. My studio only does each level once or twice a week (in the morning and in the evening) and it is expected that each student can only attend one of the classes a week. To be fair my studio is a woman’s fitness studio that does a pole -yoga variant, a chair fitness class and fly gym classes as well and is pretty small.Have you talked to the instructor at the studio? Tell her than you like coming, but every time you come they do the same things, maybe ask her what days you should go that are better, or ask her to keep that in mind when you sign up for the classes. Also, Studio Veena can help supplement (especially if you didn’t really get the move the first time in class), and there are other dancing videos that can help as well, or give a different perspective (I have the Felix Cane DVDs as well).
