I personally feel that 3000 dollars is pretty expensive for any kind of fitness related certification. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I think if you do a good job teaching word gets around about a studio.
I feel that with your degree in Exercise Science and doing an ACE or AFAA cert would be plenty! A good instructor understands body mechanics and injury prevention, all things you will learn with your current studies. You are an advanced dancer so I don’t know what the benefit of a pole certification would be for you. For ACE personal training and group exercise would be a good start. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I’m sure there are other who will disagree with me but, that just my thoughts.

Hello and Welcome!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif You’ll get the hang of gripping the pole.

I’m sorry to hear your having trouble with your classes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif You should always respect your instructors, its their job to keep you safe BUT you are paying them, and if the classes leave you board and unsatisfied then they should do something to accommodate you. If your not getting what you need out of the class maybe you could find a new studio, or do they have a different instructor you could work with? If you speak with them again about it, just be really nice, don’t go in and accuse them of anything, just let them know you really enjoy the group classes, but be clear that is creating frustration for you. Let us know if they change their minds. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Definatly get heels with ankle straps https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I really like my Ellie shoes, the chrome ones I wear are Ellie and they are my most comfortable. I have very narrow feet, so I’m not sure if someone with wider feet would like them. I also normally wear a half size in shoes, but in "stripper" heel they usually don’t come in half sizes, so I go down in size not up, because they tend to stretch a bit. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh I think I will order some shorts soon. They look great and the price is good too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Is this your business Stella??

I try to place the pole right about where the "sit bone" is, so more middle butt cheek. hehe. I know Fleur has a video with her doing this move, and you can see the placement well because its close up, maybe if she see this she’ll post it, I can’t remember which one it is, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I think she posted it here.

The best placement for the Tail sit is off to one side of your butt cheek. Having some skin showing is really helpful…its not a good idea to have all the pressure on your tailbone or Ms Va jayjyay. OH THE PAIN!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif If you cross your leg over the top of your other leg, like your about to do a CNR then move into the position by tilting back on to the butt cheek, then uncross your legs…to get out of it just go in reverse…and be sure to cross the same leg back over the other one. I’m terrible at typing out instructions I hope you can understand it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Awwww I really thought you were wonderful….to keep going with that top flappin around…I probably would have run off the stage crying. lol This was the first time I have seen you dance and I really loved it. No need to feel bad at all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thank you guys! I was gonna edit the mushy part out….but we decided to keep it, my family is not big on getting emotional so, it felt weird to be that open. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
-
Awww thanks everyone, we had a great time. There is more SV news on the way….so be on the look out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes, your will be creating a pole monster BUT I don’t think its a bad thing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Its a great form of exercise and it could be a fun thing for the two of you to share. The only negative I could see might be what others would say if she told them, and I don’t think you should tell her to keep it a secret either. She would have to be ok with their possible comments. Then again kids can make fun of any activity a teen participates in, like band or even cheerleading. If your worried about her getting to sexy on the pole….well she could go do inappropriate dance moves with out a pole so, I wouldn’t worry about that. If she is interested if pole then great, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif don’t worry about it too much, take it one step at a time.

If it is asbestos and you want to remove some of it, you really should have a pro do it. I would be unsafe to try to remove it yourself.

LOL Well, look at it this way, when you do a dance for him once you have gotten a few moves down, then he’ll think your a rock star. If they don’t see you struggle it looks too easy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I bet the video wasn’t all that bad either, we are always our worst critic. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
Honestly, I don’t like to practice around my hubby either. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

Awww Sascha, I hate to see you sad. If dance is something you really want to do then DON’T give up!! Watch videos of yourself, so you’ll know what to work on, practice, practice! Don’t ever let someone tell you you can’t do something or your not good enough. So what if your not "the best" in the troupe….do you love what you do? That’s all that matters. Your never going to please everyone, but you have something about you,I love to watch you perform. Remember they DID pick you. I wish I could give you tips for memorizing choreography, but I SUCK at that. When I took those hip hop classes, I found that the more worried and nervous I was the harder it was to learn and remember. I had to tell myself to relax. The fist time I took that class I nearly cried (no joke) everyone in the class seemed to know exactly what was going on,I couldn’t remember diddly squat. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif LOL If this is something you have a passion for then don’t let yourself get discouraged. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

There are tons of beginner dancers on here, some don’t even have a pole yet! You could go through the new users section of the forum, (a lot of them are beginners) you might see someone you think you’ll get along with…. send them an email https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif We all think its great when beginners post vids, then we can help them and watch them grow! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Welcome….Sounds like your progressing perfectly. No rush to invert https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Pole Dancing Moms ROCK! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thats a great idea, to find some online buddies. If you have a web cam you can always set a time to meet others in the chat room and pole together with your cams on! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

I have only used spin on the X, but I have heard its quite spinny, compared to other poles. When using spin mode, you want to think of giving just a little push with your foot before you place your self on the pole. So yes, you can control the amount of spin depending on how hard you push off and how hard or fast you move your arms and legs into position. The more you swing your arms and legs the faster you will go. The closer you bring your body to the pole the faster it will go. So if your looking to slow down your spin, then having really well controlled inverts will be helpful, that way you can choose how fast you go. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking2.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif
