I think there’s a difference between an instructor teaching a move in a beginner class and EXPECTING that everyone be able to do it. We practiced elbow stands in the beginner classes I took but we were not expected to be able to do them.

@MsBadKitty The broadcasts are no longer available.

I agree with chemgoddess1! Take out the invert.

I looked up ultrasonic spider repellants and it seems like they’re a scam product and that studies have shown that ants and spiders were unaffected by them. Kind of like those ultrasonic bark control devices that are supposed to stop dogs from barking…they don’t work!

Clean out the attic, spray the entire attic, especially the corners and any nooks and crannies between the beams with a spray that is formulated to kill spiders, sweep everything out and get a dehumidifier. Or, hire an exterminator.

This happens to me all the time.

Do you mean hyperextended elbows? I have those. You shouldn’t have a problem, but be very conscious of not fully extending them because that could put too much stress on your joint. For example, let’s say you’re on the floor in a plank position. Hyperextended elbows will naturally face forward. Instead, make sure to turn them in.

Thank you!! This sounds great.

Allyson Kendall, how long does it take to remove the pole from the stage? Would it be annoying or even feasible to take it on and off when you use it (so it doesn’t get ruined from the elements)?

I think people are getting caught up in semantics.
There are athletes who are elite in their sport. Who reach a level of perfection and skill that others will never accomplish. These people are often trailblazers, as they often create new moves, new challenges. Shaun White (the champion snowboarder) is an example of this.
It is a fact that some few, special people reach this level and others never will. Be thankful for these elite athletes, for they inspire others to dream and to strive.

It will take some time for your skin to get used to the pole. In the beginning it hurts like hell!

What if you don’t make a choice for either/or and do both?
You have just two years of school left. Two years goes by in a flash. In my opinion, finish school. Having a psychology degree can open you up to many opportunities that would make you hireable and would be financially beneficial. In my experience, even if you don’t get a job in exactly the major you went to school for, depending on the position, just having a bachelor’s will give you a leg up on someone else who does not have a degree.
If you don’t finish your degree now, it would be much harder when you’re older and working full-time, needing to pay the bills, to go back and finish a degree.
This does not mean you shouldn’t pursue dance. Why not take a year off after graduation? This way you’ll have the best of both worlds.

Lischacha91: Yelp has an algorithm that sorts reviews according to how many reviews one has written, whether one has a picture on their profile, put a location, etc in order to weed out fake reviews. Your review is probably there under “reviews not recommended” or something like that. If you scroll down the page the link to see the hidden reviews will be there. Not sure if this is the same in the app. If you eventually write more reviews for other things, this review will probably then show up on the main page. This has happened to me.

Krissykiki: Trapezerigging.com has an indoor Lyra rig that can also be kept outdoors that is 8 feet tall. I know that would be too tall for you to use indoors, but if you can put it somewhere outdoors, it might be an option. I forgot the exact price but was around $500 if I remember correctly. The hoop itself you can probably find on eBay for a lot less than it is sold on the site.

I find it really hard though not to arch your back when your legs are gripping the pole and your arms are down at a distance. I just can’t get over this hurdle. 🙁
