I find the type of people who say stupid stuff like that are having an issue with something that has nothing to do with you. Those “types” of people generally can’t have their mind changed. When people say things like that too me…..when I actually bother responding… I say..oh..sorry.. I don’t really teach those types of things in class, there is so much too learn on this piece of apparatus that we don’t have time to learn the sassy stuff like that. Then I take a mental note to not ever bring up the subject with them again.

Many studios would require you to go to some classes for open pole…any of the major brands r good, but….you have to find one that works for you..size and grip.. The Veena pole is a great start though

Clean your pole, warm up…and have patience. I once shook ms. Butterfly’s hand and it was like a firemans hand. I was in awe…that is a huge amount of work to calous up like that.

Some men don’t realize how difficult it is. When they see a Ms. Butterfly doing some amazing feats of strength, then they see us struggle with the basics or not make it perfect they are unimpressed. Keep it in the pole community. WE understand how hard it is, and what it takes to put your heart and soul out there.

Sounds fun…I have To figure out this Skype thing

I love my silk hammocks.. I take a pilates approach to them at my studio. Honestly…my clients like the hammock class more than the Pole classes. Which makes me a little sad:( oh well. I use it also to mix it up on the pole and as a spotter for the pole. So many of my clients have bought a hammock for home I started selling them.

Can you do a run through on the pole to figure out if your a sticker or a slipper…by the way…@ag while do some of us not stick to brass?

This awesome. Thanks

Ill post my vid…later today. Pole dancing means to me…well it started as joke at first when I was thinking of expanding my business..so I took a few classes for the fun of it. Some styles I liked, some not so much…but I did like the fact that I was terrible at first. I think it's important to do things that challenge you…and believe me I thought it would be a lot easier than it is. I learn painfully slow. I thought I was to old to start…..I thought lots of things.. In my pole journey I found a group of ladies that have taken me under their wing…the international vertical masters…. They are inspiring and wonderful. They have given me a "place to go" as I get older. I'm 44 now.. It's weird as you get older to define yourself as a women.. Your fertility is dropping, your body changes, but your head doesn't..you still feel young and alive. With pole dancing I can't give up and give in to being "older"… I am proud of my body and what it can do.. I am comfortable in my own skin.. I didn't have that it my 20s…. So I guess with all my denial of the sexy stripper pole version…I'm on the fitness side of the fence… It helps me feels like a powerful, beautiful, graceful, sexy, capable women… Hmmm.. I guess I'm just a "sexy stripper pole" person after all…

Try scrubbing your legs and other non sticky parts with a hot damp towel with a little vinegar..( if you don't use a lot it won't smell at all I promise) then when your legs are air dried use some . I only need it on my legs.. Mary Ellen said Care Ve basic lotion has almost all the same ingredients as Pole Physics…I love, love, love, pole physics. But have very dry skin. Use it the night before. I find I stick best to my chrome after a hot shower.
Some finishes don't work for some people…I won't stick to brass, ss can be fickle for me….but I can usually make it happen..coated poles are great when I'm cold then they rip my skin off as soon as I'm warm.. I have the opportunity to try to TG ( I'm so curious though)… But my 40 chrome is by far my most favorite and easiest pole to work on. Good luck.
@AG..I use dry hands as a grip ad…it works great for me. Maybe because I'm a sweater?

In a cage….arrrrgggg..iPadsiPads

If you are at your max.. And can't talk…that is not something you probably will not be able to maintain cardio wise. There are many, many good theories out there about what is the best way to do cardio…in my personal opinion I think mixing it is best….somedays low and slow, and others days I feel need and desire to do more interval training. We could talk about the Kreisler cycle and all that..but I think the real point is to somehow….get the heart rate..it doesn't Really matter if you break it up into 10 minute bouts or keeping it at 40 minutes….(whatever)
vacumming the house can be cardio too..
The only time I think you have to get super duper critical about what type or how long or when to do it is if you have a medical issue that warrants monitoring your heart rate..or you are an extreme athlete that warrants it in a training technique. Just move, sweat, (if your a sweater) listen to your body…if your miserable slow down…if your spunky speed up.. For me I need 40 minutes of cardio every other day..I do that for my " head" or else I would be a farret Icage

Do the "talk test"…..if you are able to hold a conversation that's low intensity….if you are working so hard you can't talk you are near your max heart rate.. Just keep up the with the circuit and it can be cardio. They have these things called air ropes too. They r pretend jump ropes.. Adding some intervals of the will help keep your heart rate up too. I also like mini tramps, glider discs, and Bosu's…these r more low impact.

The night before…going to try the cera via though

There is also an iPhoto editing app. too.

AG…I got the 40 chrome… I love love love it… I've never been on a tg ..what's the difference in the finish.. I've seen your blog..

Well said darcit

I personally do not teach with counts..I don't have a dance background. I can't stand the choreo classes that I have taken…when they use counting or the north,south, east, west thing..I find its more distracting to trying to figure out what number or direction you are in it really slows me down.. I do teach a sequence of movements so they can learn the transitions and possible ins and outs of moves. If someone was a counter in class I might just ask them to show me the count and to entertain her for a moment. I would just be honest and say..you are the official counter since I can't count generally past three anyway.. I start to skip numbers ..I do this in my pilates and barre classes too, so when someone is a rep counter i ask them to be the counter. i just tell them too, i cant pay atention to them if i just counting it out. I seem to have an intuition when it comes to the reps, so at least I have that.

I would go with the 45. I started on 50s and when I got my 45 everything started to fall into place…now I have a 40 x chrome and it changed my poling for the better… I can work on any size now and I don't notice a huge difference… Pole can be a real struggle sometimes for everyone…good days and bad days…make it as easy as possible. Most studios are changing there poles to 45s and the comps r all 45s
-
Re read…..no non of my poles rotate in the opposite direction…..only the direction of the chosen spin. They also don't make any noises either…except one of my lilmynx poles sometimes…it seems to have a little bit of camber to it and whines on spin mode.
Maybe you should take it down, take it apart and put it all back together and see if things line up better?
