Happy Birthday!! I love you! Thank you for all making this site possible!

I use both right now, because I have poles in 2 different rooms and I LOVE using the mount! The dome is great and secure as well, (when installed right, as with ANY pole) but using the mount makes switching out, removing and setting up super fast and easy. If you don’t mind drilling a few holes into the ceiling I highly recommend the mount!

I was just about to post this, thanks ME!
I wonder how everyone placed too.

Yep, tic toc! The video dustbunny posted has a good view of what's going on during the move. One thing that I do to slow the descend down is to press the forearm of the gripping hand into the pole. This allows me more control then keeping the gripping arm straight and to the side of the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Firemuffy, keep at it then, over time it wont hurt so bad. I still have some moves that hurt, but I don't notice it unless I stop to think about it. Keep on dancing!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifOh, and don't forget to breath!

I think instead of focusing on Age, it would be best to categorize classes by fitness level…not age.
Fitness level or lack there of, is the biggest issue when taking a pole class. You can have a very strong fit 50 something, and a very unfit 20 year old!!
Here's a thought I had….. It may seem like those under 30 progress faster, but, that my just be because the girls who are drawn to a pole class are already fit. Those (regardless of age) who are not already in shape or do not work out regularly are, possibly less likely to sign up for a pole class because they feel pole is only for skinny women.
To be honest I also wouldn't want to take a class that's 30+ At 35 I am in MUCH better shape then I was at 19. So anyway…maybe try going with fitness levels instead of age. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

When you're stiff, try not to sit around too long. It ends up making you feel REALLY stiff. Try doing some light activity (not pole work) but swimming, walking, gentle yoga. Foam rolling and gentle stretching can help too. Try stretching and foam rolling after a very hot bath!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Firemuffy… are you saying the Gemini also is painful or just the Bridge variation? You'll feel more pressure on the Knee pit in bridge as you place the arms over head to push away. Like all moves the pain will decrease over time. You'll be more sensitive to pain close to your period so keep that in mind as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

HI Polariz5. congrats on your great workout!!!
Here are some beginner tips and suggestions for ya. Please make sure to give your body a day off pole dance tricks after each session. This will help prevent overuse injuries. So MWF you would pole, and TTHS you would rest. I would suggest working on the Pole Hold without jumping though, for most pole moves the goal is to use control and avoid kicking, jumping or excessive swinging to perform moves. It all comes down to building strength with takes time, but it's so possible and totally worth it!
The fireman isn't easy, so don't feel discouraged by that! It is often thought of as one of the first move you should learn, but it's important to condition and strengthen the body before moving on to spins! Spins are not beginner moves.
If you are interest, and looking for guidance at home. I have a ton of info in the lessons here. I'll give you tips for how often to pole, as well as provide you with a structure to follow. All lessons are placed in order so there is no guess as to what to do next. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

LOL Sascha….I'm not upset over this. But, is does show the reality of how "some" perceive pole dance.
I have not seen the whole episode on Anderson's show. The little bit I did see was of Goldie (I only saw a bit) she was supportive, but had issues with the "term" pole dance, because people just can't separate pole dance from sexy. I can see where she is coming from on that. If you want to teach children to pole in a studio, I would not include it in a studio where sensuality is a focus. It would be best kept in a sporty pole studio setting. Calling it "little climbers" or something fun could cause people to be more open as well. I have not seen what the ladies on the show said or even what Anderson said to them.

Oh for those who don't know of the video it's my Rocklobster one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vCkyjxm1Hk&lc=i5aRvUOBUBVufaie5AGvtsvaNHpwBzbN9SkpRJZRpXs&feature=inbox https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Well this is not about the show… but it was posted on my video I made with my boys a few mins ago …..

Well, someone has to state the obvious, so here it goes: You are a stupid whore. Your kids will grow up to be stupid. You will never realize you are stupid. You haven't thought of the negative connotations of kids pole-dancing, well, because you don't THINK very often. The same people that support this are desperately trying to legalize child porn as well (looking at you, Huffposers). I'm sure as Rome was turning into a decadent hellhole. there were throngs of people calling it "progressive."
People are ignorant and there is nothing we can do to change that. It's up to us to just ignore them and move on. We know there are many sides to pole and there is a style of pole for everyone! xoxo

@ Juicy Jenn, Yes, you don't have to use a pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Spinny, I said…WAS a method, not IS. I have been using steam to clean for a year now…. on all of my poles, all of the finishes. No troubles. Thanks for your concern though. X-pole has also stated to aviod using glass cleaner…..
You don't let the steam sit or accumulate it only takes a second before you wipe it down. I've had grip aids gunk up the holes and joints also discolor my pole. Steam was the ONLY thing that took of residue from grip aids.
