I tend to be a bit of a tomboy, and pole dance has really brought out my feminine side.Welcome to the site!! Come join us for Friday chat some time if you can. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif If you do go with a permanent pole covering up the holes really isn’t a big deal, unless you have hardwood floors. But ceiling its not a biggy.

Don’t worry about ratio…you’ll be fine! However….I’m not sure how long you have been pole dancing but, most spins are NOT beginner moves. As a new dancer, the focus should be on pole work that strengthens the body. This is how I have the online lessons set up. If your taking the lessons following the suggested order is very helpful in building up strength so you can perform pole spins safely and smoothly. There is no need to feel like you have to loose weight or change some portion of your body to enjoy pole dance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Clean the TG with Alcohol…..I had grip slip issues with my pole about a month after I had it….the weather was cold but humid and the pole seemed to grip and slip at the same time….almost like it was sweating. It didn’t last long tho.
AC will affect the poles grip…..AC tends to dry out the air. Also remember factors like your skin can affect the grip. I have dry skin and do NOT use AC so humidity gives me wonderful grip. I perspire just enough for skin to be moist but not so much I am wet with sweat. BUT if you tend to have oily skin or sweat a lot in humid weather you might slip. Things like Deodorant/antiperspirant will cause my poles grip to become poor.
I have dry skin, no AC and the 70s and humidity seems to give me super grip https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Hmmm a pole show you say?? …… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif I’m listening…sound fun!

The online lessons here start off new dancers with strength work first, then pole moves that build strength. THEN you get to spin….Don’t feel bad at all! Spins are not easy…I don’t teach them as beginner moves for this very reason. Give yourself some time and ask your instructor to give you some strength moves to help you. If you have a pole at home you could think about adding the lessons here to your work outs. Like I mentioned before I start you off with strength work and pole moves that develop your muscles so you can then work on more advanced spins and moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Here’s an article I wrote a long time ago about Poles and Grip….
-
Same for me Nymph! Maybe we should start a topic so everyone can list their skin type, climate, both heat and humidity level and pole finish preference….Could be helpful for others, because it there really seems to be more factors to it then just finish. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif

Mine was a permanent PS pole…worked ok in summer when I was sweaty (I’m a dry person and don’t perspire much) and the room was not cold…but come winter…it just took too long to warm the pole and myself. I made the switch to Chrome and it was a whole new poling experience. Depending on your skin (dry, oily ect) you may work better with one finish over another. For me my perfect grip days are:
Warm 70ish
Humid
I have dry skin…so humidity is my friend!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
Stainless steel is great if your in a studio where it will get worn down faster…but I still say go with Chrome for the home poler. Especially if you live in a cold climate…I spent many cold winter days grip less and frustrated. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

I have all of the finishes and sizes….if your a new "beginning" pole dancer, I would go with the 45mm Chrome. Titanium is very grippy and once you start working on spins (static spins) it can really rip up your hands (dancers new to static spins tend to have a "death grip" on the pole) So I say Chrome 45mm. As for size..I use to say get the 50mm but the 45mm has been so much easier on my joints. 50mm is standard in most clubs, studios and competitions. Some comps use 45mm and I hope it continues to spread cuz I love my 45! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
