I took Amber Rays workshop. Hers was fun, it was 2 to a pole and we did doubles routines. She had the most fun warm up ive ever had in a pole class. It was very cardio and high energy. It was my first time on an xstage, chrome and spin mode. I had a blast eventhough there were some moves I couldnt do. I think the best part of the class was the next day Stacy of Xpole saw me and said I was really talented since she saw me in the class.
I agree about the speakers, workshops and battle were coicide with my workshop. I really wanted to enter the BK Spins and Tricks Battle but I had my workshop at that time. Personally I think that was an awesome idea along with the Showcase of the Stars. I kept thinking 'omg I am seeing Felix perform LIVE!!' Prana was my fav, along with Amber Ray, they suit my style.
Overall I had a great time, met Veeners and some of my Xpose gals. The best highlight of the night was my friend Donna had the 'Save a Tree, Climb a pole' shirt. Jenyne loved it so Donna got a Pole Con shirt so she could give her shirt to Jenyne!
I was in a great mood when I left, I was inspired and motivated. Actually thats where my Battle of the Pole Studios idea was born. I was sitting watching group performances and BAM idea hit!

This thread reminded me to order some samples. Im almost low on dry hands but I like the way Itac feels. I also have a few postcards around the house with Karol and Alethea on them as a friendly reminder to order Itac.
I still remember the day I tried out itac. I used it on my inner thighs, I went to wrap my legs around and I COULDNT MOVE! I was locked in, I was not going anywhere. I was in love!

I agree with ThePoleDancers final paragraph. Thats what got me thinking about the whole thing. I dont know about APFA but when I ran my Battle event, I contacted the possible recipents first. That way they can check my website and credentials I provided incase they did not like the idea. Once they approved, I could have thier logo and I used it on everything for press reasons – flyers, website, promos for the event. In return, they used my logo and event info on thier site.
I dont know the whole story so I cant make a whole hearted comment about the situation. But who knows where the hole in the story lies (if there is one). While I say its sad to see an organization turn down a donation of any kind. Breast Cancer hits home for me as well (my grandmother was a BC survivor before her death in 2006, yesterday was the 5yr anniversary of her death) and I want every woman to be able to get all the help that they can find for this.

I have extra love on my legs as well. Over time, you will find your sweet spot on your legs. I got a nasty bruise on the back of my thigh from doing CAR after CAR (I think I did like 5 of them).
Be proud of them – its hard work paying off!

Esteem! I know the girls from Esteem, great girls! 2 of them are competing for Ms Tri-State on the 26th.

I was a 46e, I am now a 40d. I love Bad Kitty's Pole fit spider back bra. Its keeps the girls in and its so comfy! The only issue I had was the O ring that holds the straps is plastic and it busted on me Tuesday night. I contacted Trisha right away and shes sending me a new one ASAP!
I have one from Nike that I bought that is my other go to sports bra. First off its pink and its got a bikini style tie along with the thick straps so it holds me up! I normally wear 2 sports bra when I pole as well. Under Armor is another good one to check out. I dont know if theres an outlet besides MD (MD based company, started out with sponsoring the UMD Terps and its escalated from there), but you can get a decent deal on them. They also carry up to a XXL. They also make 'sport panites' but we all know them as pole shorts!

How long are you warming up with your pole before you start pratcing? I noticed that with my pole as well. since mines in the laundry room, I turn on the dryer for 20min and warm up while the dryer is running. Ill stretch, climb up and down a few times etc. Then were ready to roll!

Chem, I had the spell check problem when I use Google Chrome at home. So your not alone on that one. I guess that means I need to practice my spelling a bit better, LOL

Im debating. Last years winning factor was that is wasnt too far away from where I lived so I only paid for the pass and workshop. Now since its in FL I would have to fly and stay for the weekend. After the fiasco my husband I had last year about me staying all weekend, I dont want it to happen again.
Pole Convention was EPIC! I had so much fun and met alot of Veeners and polers, learned alot about the pole business and meet some of my pole idols.

bought everything to revamp my heels tonight! I had a hard time finding the sticky back paper. I found 3 colors and I didnt want to do any of them.
-
I emailed the folks at hotel99 to see if we could get a group rate if there is enough of us. Im just waiting for an answer
-
good point Charley, Also in cheerleading competitions you pay a fee to enter as well. It helps cover costs for the event.
I was gonna check it out but im not big on getting naked in public and its in Philly for me, thats just not gonna work.

Ive been cleaning mine with the acetone (yep the stuff thats used to remove nail polish), and its been working out great. I also do more of warm up than I do in class. I think that has to do alot with it too. The poles in the studio are 5+yrs old, so they have seen thier fair share of warm up and abuse. Plus when there is 2 other pole classes in that studio before I take my class, its pretty well warmed up.
Ive been using my home pole 2 days a week for the past month. Things are improving and im geting better about the idea that I am alone and if I injure myself there is no one around to help me get out of it safely. The floor in the laundry room is a concrete-esqe floor so I know if I land on it, its gonna hurt. Im gonna get some foam mat pieces so I dont feel so bad when Im trying to work on new stuff.
I did invert for the first time at home!!! My calf cramped up like I used to so I figured its gotta be from me overpointing my toes when im nervous.

a word to the wise about muting the orgin audio. If you have more than one clip you are editing with that music make sure you do them all. Ive made the mistake of only doing one clip assuming the other clip would get the hint. So half the video you can hear the pole slides!
-
Ive been a big fan of xpole! My pole is a xpole xpert. I worked with them for my event, nothing but nice and professional! Its sturdy when put up correctly. Once I understood how the xjoint worked, I was fine.
-
@polkadot there are 3 versions to that song. Theres a Dry Martini Mix – its very slow and sensual, and music is beautiful. Another one was remixed for the Saw II soundtrack – dark and mysterious. My husband prefers that version out of all of them. The final one was made for the Underworld Soundtrack – its a faster beat and really sounds like it would of fit the character and movie.

Ive got the perfect song for it! Love Song by 311!

I watched the video on YT instead of reading the instructions. Im more a visual kind of person. Now it all makes perfect sense to me!
-
I check the x joint everytime I get on my pole. I figured I paid good money for it might as well take good care of it. My tubes have moved around thats when I really learned about the equal force in expanding the joint. PennyGirl has a video on here talking about her experience with the x joint and her mishap which I think alot of us have experienced.
-
I dont know how often she posts but you should talk to Journey, and SerziQ. Serzi has an x stage and Journey has a orginal Xpole.
It really depends on your ceiling. Mine is vaulted so I would have to get a mount but thats why the pole is kept at my moms than at my house.

I think all USPDF affilated workshops are being held at NYPD. Heres the link for the workshops that I think they are – https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/home.asp?studioid=8706
I think I should totally hit up a B&P class too! You cant beat $20! Is b&P close to the venue?
-
I think I found them on the website where you order your USPDF gear. From what I saw there was Estee, Karol, Brook, Tracy Traskos, USPDF 2011 winner. Im not sure about anyone else.
I wanna take them all, but I need to work on my tricks so I may take Estee's.
