Yes, that’s one of my absolute favorites! I love watching the Australian competitions. They just know how to entertain. And I love that the performances are usually sexy and the outfits are awesome!
Need to travel there one day… -
They even had my me put my mighty grip in the clear cosmetics bag – because it’s in a little bottle (iTac as well, of course).
That was on the flight back. No one cared on the flight before. I guess it just depends on who you have to deal with. -
When I got my pole, my boyfriend played on it a bit and did handsprings right away…
He doesn’t do any sports, that makes it even worse.

I know what you mean. Everytime I see myself on video I feel like a hippotamus https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
For me I noticed that I should definetly work on keeping my toes pointed all the way (I seem to forget at a certain point). Also, extending the legs slower and later seems to make a difference.

I know how you feel… I was so scared of doing extended butterfly that I thought I would never get it (and with that all the other pretty stuff like Ayshe etc), but two weeks ago it just happened and I don't know even why! I suddenly just did it and it felt like I have been doing it all my life.
And that's how a lot of things in pole seem to happen (at least for me), so just keep practicing and it will happen one day and you won't know why https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

And think about pulling your heels up to your booty 😀

Try out the positioning from kneeling on the floor first, using a mirror to correct yourself.
Pay close attention on your hips as mentioned by runemist. -
At the Xpert training they told us that some people might have allergic reactions when using a chrome pole due to a nickle allergy. They suggested the stainless steel pole instead.

I know studios in Germany who use it so it must be on the market at least in europe.
It basically is a vaulted ceiling mount with a recieving unit. -
When I teach, I usually do
Warm up and some strength (pull up crunch, pole row, …) before I start with pole moves.
Some people find it really hard to do spins, so I usually start with
Pole walk
Turns, pirouettes
Body wave
Some simple transitions to the floor
Floorwork
When I start with spins I usually do in this order:
Plie Spin
Galopp Spin
Back V-Spin
Fireman
Back Hook

They won’t sell them before the middle of august, so that’s probably why they don’t have them on their website yet.
I haven’t seen the pole sleave so can’t compare to those but they won’t be removable! You don’t have to buy a whole new pole though, I think they said you can buy the a- and -poles plus extensions only. -
I played on it at FIBO and it’s awesome!
Feels and looks like the materials used for silicone sex toys.
It’s so sticky I could do stuff I can’t on a regular pole like iguana mount, even though it was really thick (55mm I guess). They have them smaller tough.
And yes, you can have them as a stage pole. -
I really love the pole physics body lotion. I think it’s a wonder product 😀

Hi!
Well, my Xpert is bowed. I also bought it used.
The bow causes the pole to not spin very smooth. Last week I took it down and after putting it up again, it was even worse; there was a clicking noise and the resistance was even worse.
I had to think about it a little bit, and figured, that my ground isn't really even as well. When I rotated the base 180 degrees, it was like it was before. Not perfect, but a little better. -
My friend and I have a fun game: we wrote down all moves we can do. Then we pick a song and one of us is freestyling to it. The other one picks a move from the list which has to be executed. It doesn’t have to be the next move, you can add just as many things in between as you like, but you have to do it before the song is over.
That way you get to do moves you otherwise wouldn’t think of, and it helps to get stuck and not knowing what to do next. And it let’s you get creative while you dance! -
Another, not Panther! Stupid auto correct.

I had the chance to play on a ssa last weekend (with extension 3m high) and I must say that I like the XStage much better.
The ssa wasn’t spinning smoothly but rather in an ellipsis and it was much more wobbly than the XStage, especially on top! I didn’t want to do any inverted stuff on spin mode.Panther thing I disliked was the extension: it was just a little bit smaller in diameter so you could feel the intersection. Also, the edges weren’t as smooth as Xpole’s.
What I did like though was the platform. Much more quiet! And the option to add light sticks (was the white one) is really cool!

Thanks Donna,
I just ordered Private Dancer, The Exotic Dance Workout and Exotic Dance – The Irresistible Art, they had those on eBay. If I like them, I’ll get the Stripper Dance as well.
-
Yes I can, but straightening the leg and only hooking with the ankle really scares me! But I’ll keep trying.
-
How cool! I’m also dreaming about opening a studio.
-
Every inverted move without at least one leg gripping the pole really scares me. And I don’t know where to start. Extended butterfly? Ayesha? Any suggestions?
-
Hi!
I found the following titles:
Thrills in High Heels
Private Dancer
The Exotic Dance Workout
Exotic Dance – The Irresistible ArtWich one were you talking about? Or should I get all of them?

I too really had some issues with watching myself on video. I actually made it a goal to do all the challenges here on SV, but once I started I felt that I move like a hippotamus so I found a ton of excuses to not record them.
Well, it took my some time to realize that it’s just not possible to move like Alethea Austin since I started only a few months ago having no dancing or gymnastics background.
She probably spent a lot of time, tears and hard work until she became who she is now!Actually, it helped a lot, finally just making the videos. Allthough it’s hard, you’ll never get the same feedback from friends or mirrors!
I recorded the April video over and over again, but I feel it helped me a lot to learn moving more gracefully.And let me tell you another thing about wide angle lenses:
What you place in the center will appear bigger! So if this is your belly, it might look huge!
But when you place the camera close to the ground and let it look up to you, it’ll make your legs look longer!
Watch my March video, and you’ll see what I mean.Also, putting on some high heels always boosts my confidence 😀
-
I’m curious too, since I just did 3 challenges last week!
