I’m leaning towards a Titanium for my second pole. I’m leaving my stainless up though because it makes me work harder and gives me a great sense of accomplishment when I can do something on it in less then ideal weather https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have dry skin like Veena. I prefer 70+ with humidity if I’m going to dance on stainless (ie the pole in my house) anything else I’m slathering Corn huskers on to even attempt to stick to do anything.
Chrome I stick ok without humidity, but stick much better with it.
Brass I can pretty much stick to after a few minutes of walking around it warming it with my hands humidity or no humidity.
won’t know about titanium for another week, haven’t danced on it but will.
-
That I can agree with too Veena. My stainless is slippery as snot most of time. However when I nail a move on it I know I really have it lol. I go other places that have chrome or brass and feel like a super star because I have so much more grip.
-
i must be devil’s advocate!
i think that if you are just starting you should buy a 50mm stainless steel pole– preferably platinum stages.
the reason WHY is because if you start with a grippier finish, and a smaller pole (a 45mm chrome xpole for example), it will be difficult for you to adjust to a larger, less grippy pole finish later on. if you learn on a stainless, you will be able to pole on ANYTHING.
I agree with amy if you learn on a stainless anything else is a piece of cake lol!

Oh and yes they’re awesome. I love mine, and will be getting a second soon.
I’m selling them with free shipping until July 1st !!!!! Then it’ll be Half Off shipping after that.
hey sissy, does the free shipping end with orders done on the 30th? or does it include orders done on the 1st???? (wheels in mind churning)
The first will be the last day to get free shipping https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I think you should be expecting an order from me on the first then https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

don’t know most of you well enough for anyone to have shown up in my dreams however
last night at work I saw a lady who so much like chemgoddess (with whom I have been friends without meeting for several years) that I had to rein in my squeal of delight and not run up and hug her https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I’m sure that would have went over well. Can see the police report now…..honestly officer I was just trying to check out a few grocries at the u-scan and this crazy worker came up to me squealing and hugging me, I think she might be in need of a few days in the loony bin.
the other one was the other night I was dreaming I was lost in Detroit (which is usually the case when I’m in Detroit) and couldn’t find the studio where the Karol Helms clinics were being held.

almost time for Eclipse…… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Pole classes are usually designed to accommodate for different levels of students. Pole isn’t like most other styles of dance, or even fitness, where everyone learns at a similar pace. Pole is determined HUGELY by your previous experience in dance and strength, and your muscle type, your body type etc etc etc etc. SoOoo all instructors know that girls learn at different paces, and any good studio will have instructors trained to compensate for this during every class.
Also, most studios I know of DON’T really do routines to start with. At least not til the end of the ‘block’ (6 weeks or whatever), or until the next ‘level’. They do however show you how to link moves together which can help you in creating your own routines at home.
ok know I’m dredging up old posts again but read this one with interest because I started out as an S factor at home girl learning from the video’s and such, did some classes while traveling with them.
The classes I took here recently are VERY structured, everyone is supposed to do every move (and the first spin was a hard one even for someone who has been dancing for years) and everyone learns the routine. Very robotic. Very opposite of what i had done before. I have some time scheduled over the next few months with several instructors at different studios in different states, and am looking forward to seeing how they do things.

I can’t imagine trying to dance in leg warmers I have enough trouble trying to stick to the pole as it is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I’m a heel girl in normal life too, even my flip flops have 3.5 inch wedges and most of the time I feel they aren’t high enough https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

someone is most likely going to kill me soon for dredging up old threads but I’m having fun reading the old stuff….
home learning new stuff barefoot. In large part because for now I’m on carpet (that should change next month) out and about heels heels heels. I feel best in heels. I work at a job that I pretty much have to wear tennis shoes and hate it. I trip about every 3 ft. Put me in stiletto’s and I can run https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif its the elf feet I swear…

that is just sad charley and here I was hoping to find someone to teach belly dance out of my studio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

ooooo possibilities!!!

I’m dying to try aerial silks! Unless a studio opens near me (yeah right, we just this year got our first pole studio it will be 5-10 years before silks get here) it will have to wait until we build the new house. I’m sure the contractor is going to love us. A pole in the master bedroom, two in the basement bar and now silks in the foyer…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I’m getting the same way. My husband is jokingly calling this the summer of pole…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

yep my laces are round so I might try that. I get them snagged on my fishnets, and on the laces for the other boot. Not real graceful when all of a sudden you can’t move your legs because your boots are stuck together by the laces. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif or better yet be upside down and have your fishnets get caught in the hooks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
I have done both! I have even caught someone else’s laces in my boots! That was rather interesting!
now that one I haven’t done lol. Mostly because I never dance that close to anyone but my man.
-
these are great!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
you might be a pole dancer if you take your kids to McDonalds so you can use their wifi to watch studio veena lessons because you have dial up at home and they take too long to load. (yes I just did that today on my new acer netbook lol)

lol she took them while trying to explain it to me on another forum and I still can’t do it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
how does hammering them down effect being able to tighten them? I usually have to tighten my laces a couple of times especially if I’m wearing them for several hours.

I’m not looking. I’m not. Really I’m not going to. Ok well maybe just a quick peek….akkkkkkk no now I have to see that too, and that. Somebody hide my wallet PLEASE!

ok on a more serious note:
my basic wish list would be a really good teacher that can explain things a variety of ways so that all students can "get it" that has a strong focus on safety and good order progression. A safe" studio. Meaning floors and poles in prime working order. Mats for inverts. A restroom and changing area.
I can get by with just a good basic studio if it has the right teacher. With the wrong teacher you could have the Walt Disney World of studio’s and I’m not going to be impressed.
On the subject of mirrors I’m not a fan of them at all.

heck having a restroom in the place is a plus let alone a shower. The studio I’m at you have to go down the hall past offices and use a key https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
